Pillows!!!

Made pillows from shirts.  Fun!!!

Collections - depression glass.

Today’s collection focuses on DEPRESSION GLASS!!!!     When depression glass was introduced it was mostly a giveaway item.  It was to lure people to movies and other social gatherings.    I acquired most of mine in the 70s when it could be acquired very cheaply.   

Depression glass also comes in other colors.   Pink and clear are the most common after green.  

Collections—Elephants

Today’s collection focuses on ELEPHANTS!!!!   I love elephants!

This collection started about 52 years ago. When Ron and I were married,He had 2 elephants and I had 1; and after displaying them on our coffee table I got lots of elephants for Christmas along without statements like “I saw your collection!”   It was born.  

Most of my elephants!

June 2019 OMB-Bedroom

Update!!!   The more I looked at this, the More I knew It needed MORE pictures.

MUCH COZIER!!!!



In 2010 I did my first name day room.  Since then I had three done and had two

 to go.  Done are the living room, kitchen and dining room.  Just finished was the bedroom.  I have one more to go.  At this stage, I don’t have a clue what it will be.  

May has been a very productive mini month

My one a month bunch was completing my boat house.  This is quarter scale.  

Then I decided I could not go to Lakeland next month to do a fun day project with an unfinished project waiting to be completed. 

Santa’s workshop is done and it’s in 1/12 scale.  

Then I had swap items that needed to be finalized into Mel’s junk shop.  It is 1/12 scale. 

I am so very happy to have completed 3 projects. And the month isn’t over.

Come back next month to see if I am as productive!!!

Funky owls

When I finished the 50 pears I realized I had 7 days before my next online class.  Whatever will I do?   How about 7 funky owls in 7 days.    Size 6x6 inches. I think they are cute.

Really love this!!!!

Pears, pears and more pears !!!

About 15 or 16 years ago I followed an art assemblage group on yahoo.  I came across an exhibition of 50 pieces of art in 50 days.  I was enraptured by the thought.  Pieces were small about 6x6 if my memory serves me well.  There were assemblage pieces along with portraits and landscapes.

I tried it with watermelons and got to 8 pieces and then thought “to hell with it “.

Well, I’ve completed 52 pears.  2 were done in 2016.  The other 50 were done in the last few weeks. Size is 3 1/2 x 5 inches.   I don’t know if I will frame theme but if I do, it’s a staple size at dollar tree. Enjoy!!!
