Having a Big BOGO sale!

I'm having a huge "Buy One, Get One" sale in my Artfire studio!  Come by and see if you can find something you HAVE to buy.

Down Time! We have a virus and it's not on the computer.

If I don't post for a day or two, it's because our family is passing around a nasty virus.  I'm usually the last to get it.  Even if I don't get sick, I'm already exhausted cleaning up after everyone, and running medicine and drinks to this room and that room.  Keep you posted!

Well, Here's the finished product!?

I'm not real sure if I like it or not yet.  I certainly don't know if it was worth the time invested!  I guess each time I make another one, it SHOULD get easier and faster.

I know it's not my best, but I had fun trying!  I've been so wrapped up in posting products into my new studios this summer, I'd forgotton what it's all about.  CREATING!!!

I tried something new yesterday!

I'll add a picture here in a couple of days because that's how long it's going to take to make this project look decent.  I tried to miter corners of a picture frame!  I understand why I hadn't tried it before now!  I had to sand, and sand, and re-cut, and sand, and I think I kind of got to where it will fit together now, but it's no longer an 8" x 10" frame.  I'll be lucky if I end up with a 5" x 7" frame when I'm done. LOL!!!!  I am straight line impaired!  I inherited it from my father.

Tool Time Gals!?

I want to start a group of women that in the making of their crafts, use power tools.  If you can send me a picture, that would be great!  I want the world to know that 1.Women can do whatever they set their minds to do. and 2.We don't have to loose our femininity to do so. 3. We can enjoy doing so-called "male" jobs.

At the very least, send me a comment with a short story!

A few more favorites.

I guess over the years, I have acquired quite a few crafting skills.  Here are some crocheted rag rugs and fleece throws of mine.

My most popular jewelry item.

I started making these when one of my sons bought one at a craft show and then all of his friends wanted one.  There called Disciple Crosses and there made from horseshoe nails that are wire wrapped.

New Blog Kick-Off!!!

To begin with, I decided to show case some of my work just to detail some of my talents I've developed over the years.  I have a unique ability to just look at a hand writting style and be able to copy it without using a stencil!  Although I do have to draw some lines so I can write in a straight line.

And yes, these are made out of wood from that old barn built before 1917(that is just how far back we can trace it).
