Some Peeks at Some Upcoming Projects

The best way to get something done is to begin.  ~Author Unknown

Hello there.  How was your weekend?  Mine was wonderful – it seemed to drag on which is just the kind of weekend I like.  The kind that somehow seems longer than 48 hours.

Of course it helped that I did absolutely nothing.

Nada.

Lazy-bones.

But, I’ve got a super-busy week coming up so felt it was justified.

Today though I woke up to the most wonderful surprise.  Alan who had heard me complaining my new little craft corner wasn’t working out as well as I had hoped was rearranging the whole thing.  Basically just turning the desk around so I had easier access to my supplies… but in the room we have that takes as much skill as a Rubix Cube.  I’m loving it.  In fact I’ve pulled out several projects that I’ve started and not yet finished so I can dig in the moment the mood strikes.  Here’s a sneak peek until they are complete:

The altered type tray is coming along:

I’ve got all the slots filled and am now in the process of painting and gluing.  Then the best part, embellishing.  I’m enjoying taking my time with this because I want it to hang on our wall for years to come.

And now for something completely different:

I’ve mentioned I’m a geeky girl right? Or maybe just being surrounded by comics while I create now is taking effect. This little guy is made of clay, and I’m working on some Super Friends to go with.

Here’s a glimpse of a canvas project I’ve got going:

It’s one of a series of 3 and I’ve got 2 completed.  I am loving the way these are turning out and am so excited to share once they are done.  Lots of bling and Mod Podge being used.

Here’s a mini-album I’ve got in the works:

Lots of Jenni Bowlin goodness mixed in there.  And I’m absolutely loving the colors.

I’ve got big plans for these:

So CUTE right??  I’ve had them since Blogher 2009.  They were given to me by the adorable ladies of Mabel’s Labels.

Seriously nicest ladies ever.  And they carry the cutest stuff that makes this Virgo swoon.

And finally I’ve got an altered lantern that’s been sitting on my desk for awhile too:

It’s painted, I have a vision… I just need to finish it up.

Actually I think I’ll go continue working on that one right now.

So… big week!  It’s time for CHA, and yes indeedy I’ll be there reporting for Craft Critique.  Be sure to check in there often for lots of updates (LOTS) and I’ll be sure to post some pictures here too.

I will try not to squeal too much while writing I swear.

Thanks for stopping by today sweet friends, and see you very soon!

Always a work in progress,
