Bday card

 I'm really proud of this one. 

Trial run, sweet success

 I saw one candy machine video and got inspired. Complicated drawings for #2and #3 are already in process. But I decided that I should do a prototype. 

Pepsi caddy 4me

Had to make one for myself this time. 

 

clock

 

Yup, a book clock. I used a real book from the thrift store, cut out the pages and installed a clockwork from the hobby store. Challenging and time counsuming but fun to have something that I made myself. The final challenge being that the book hung on a wall tended to swing open. Fixed it so that the clock stays shut thus being readable from anywhere in the room. Now my reading room is complete! 

Pop up birthday cards

 I had to create some birthday cards without running to my mother's craft room. I decided to do more pop up cards. I love creating these! I hope the ladies who get them love them too. 

Welcome plank

 

So I've made a few of these planks, following the popular trend of welcome planks. This one let's the world know that Browns fans live here. Happy football season people!  

Cloth butterflies

 I saw an overpriced pillow on a popular website. "It would be more fun to make them myself." I thought. Took a few trys but I got it! 

Pop up card

 July cards to my church shut ins had so much more action in them. 

Bible box remake

 The first Bible box fell off the stand & fell apart. I found some thicker clean wood from church and remade it. It is much stronger this time and ready to give away Bibles as a free little library. 

Ascention

I'm intrigued with pop up cards at the moment. I needed a May card to send to our shut ins. The two became one idea for the Jesus ascension  card below, 

Charcoal drawing

I think I have a new favorite flower. This is lisianthus. 

Fun with beads

 New year, more fun colors on sale @Hobby Lobby. 

2nd penguin

 My mother in law loved my first penguin so much that I decided to do this one for her. Let's see if she likes it. 

Yes part 2

 Thanksgiving through New Year's I made 7 little band boxes. They were all gifts to family for Christmas. Plus a crate & a Pepsi caddy. 

Snowmaggedon project

 Academy went virtual. Kitchen staff stayed home, safe from the ice and snow. I finished this adorable duo in two days. 

First painting of the year!
