HELP!! I was looking for a project on my search bar I see the title and date to find it but no pics
what's up with that???

Trying out a flower tut- Daffodils

H-m-m-m not bad, very fiddly but nice!!

Tut for the flowers! click here

 

A garden chair / stash from show!

Something for the outside of the "Rose of Sharon" flower shop.

I want to do some landscaping and

I saw a chair like this at a Dollhouse show in Lancaster PA.

 but it costs so much so I thought I should try to make one like it.

I first had blue flowers but changed it to soften it up.

here's the before pic.

I felt the leaves were too dark and the flowers a bit large.

What do you think?

 

what I bought at the show some great buys

 

 

my really good buys!

 

 

This is what I got on the way home from the

Country Cupboard restaurant/ Gift shop.

 My hubby got me theses for Mother's day.

I had to have these I only wish I could buy it all!

The place was fantastic all kinds of fairy gardens all set up

really cute here's some pics of it. I took many but you get the idea!

 

 

 

My Reutter Porcelain Clock display

Before- empty clock

 

 

After- Filled with some my Reutter Porcelain!

My friend got this for me!!! I am thrilled!!

I still need to add something more to the lonely cup on right at 2:00!

It has very limited space.

I see a small glare over the wine glass too.

It took me awhile to get a good shot of this.

So here's what was going in the store front !

THE ROSE OF SHARON

My flower shop Welcome to: ROSE OF SHARON!

My dear friend Cheryl Lee helped to arrange my flowers, I made lots but  only used a few and now.
 I have to do the outside landscaping with the help of my dear friend Yvonne Lord and she arranged the red roses on the top shelf in the green vase for me and Cheryl Lee gave my the cute lilies on the bottom shelf in the jar!
 I am so loving this. I made the flower basket on the left top shelf and the lower plant on the bottom shelf to the far right in the silver bead pot and the tulips on the floor under the front shelf in the window and I made the paper pitchers too. The little girl found some cute daises for her mom. (her mom works there) I need to add a welcome sign as well! Your are welcome to come in and shop.
Sorry no winners for those who tried to guess what was going in the shop box!!

another kitchen item

another item made from a coupon printie easy peasy!!

DIY Mini foods for the kitchen pantry

Here's what I made and what I used to make them.

 It was a lot of fun!

Wooden dowels were used for the veggie cans.

You can find these in the Dollar Tree bottles in the nail section.

 I made the spaghetti sauce (mixture of reds and brown paint and tripe thick)

 and put real instant coffee in the jar too.  These are what I used for the jars.

I made the peanut butter jar and salsa (shown above)

with these  capacitors.

They come in different sizes found in an old VCR

or any thing you can tear apart that has electronic.

Lots of goodies in there! 

I used glossy varnish found in the craft paints

 for the jar to look like glass.

I used these from BJ's whole sale booklet flyer in the mail

 for my labels, shiny and sharp images!

Learning how to do kits and another project

I want to paint these not sure what color yet the seats are not attached so that I can paint them easier.

Another kit almost finished, it's all together except

 paint for the rest of the accessories. I may use the shelf and towel bar in another scene so I don't want to satin them, I might paint them instead.

close up, I see need to go over the doors

 but looks different in person

ok here's what the dining room set will go into and

I have a hutch to build yet!!

My winter/Christmas porch!

 My winter Christmas porch with lights on the top and tree.

I don't know why the snow looks yellow it 's white with sparkles!!

 

Some trees I did I just love decorating them!!

The one in the middle has a dome from a broken clock  (it's not on because of the glare)

it  lights ups with white lights.

 I hid the battery box under it.  The green in the back has red lights.

I have a multi light pack now I need to find another tree for that one.

Candles from pencil eraser tops & how it was made

We made theses in our group yesterday but I only got a picture

 of mine because I forgot my camera! 

Click on the pic to see it larger!

They were rolled in paint, used a tiny branch from the died flowers

 for the wick and a tiny round mirror on the bottom for the bases but one base

 was from a plastic creamer cup bottom.

it was so much fun! My friend Yvonne helped me a little to get more volume

 in the flower arrangement.

here's a picture of the pencil and top

 

here's how to use  the cap for a votive candle

which I have not done yet!

Just cut it a bit shorter to sit inside, paint it or not can glaze it

 with a mat or gloss clear varnish then add a wick from a tiny stem from died flowers

 and place on a base if you desire! I got 10 in a pack for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree store. 

 

What I made in group today

Here's the felt pumpkins I made.

The stems on top are from grapes stems, 

These go nicely with my fall bushel basket too!

See our group blog to see the rest of the groups pumpkins

 and cute pet beds we did!
