Dresser Re-Do

        

     I have had this small dresser in my guest bathroom for atleast 5 years....sitting there waiting to be re-done...poor thing I say. Well finally it can show its new face proudly. I had a man named Pete approach me via email and he asked if I would like to feature his paint brushes.  I said sure I would, because they are great paint brushes...Well I didn't know that until I used them...and my hunch was correct. I have tried many different kinds with all my projects and usually end up with hairs stuck to my work...well not now. The Purdy brand shined thru. And did an awesome job...please check them out at this site Purdy Paint Brushes and More.

   On to my project, this is what she has looked like for years now...purchased at a thrift store some where. I liked it this way, but it needed to match my decor a bit better....





       so here we go with the fun new look that now shines in my guest bathroom..I love all the details...I left the handles like they are and they look great in the room this is displayed in








      so there ya go....I love her even more now...she holds all my hair accessories, curlers and perm rods..Thanks for the helping hand Pete

Hi Everyone !!!!

          I think I am finally back.....I had a minor surgery to my neck and lots of therapy so I think I can type again...I hope so anyway been off work and crafting for about 6 weeks now...cannot take it anymore....So please come back and join me as I begin my journey to get my daughters wedding stuff done and whatever other crafts cross my table....

        Hope you all had a fabulous easter as I did.....take a look..




     This is a necklace I made for my girl when she was about 5 years old..we lived in Berlin, Germany so my supplies were limited...it was so adorable back then...kinda antiquish now. I took it home for my daughter to see...Wondered if she would remember it. She did!...I was surprised. She said she loved it as a little girl and was so glad I kept it...so maybe next year it will get passed onto my grand-daughter...  I didn't get to do much crafting for Easter this year, but have many plans for next year.

       I will be posting some fun stuff again soon....
