Eight paintings and wall hangings for your home. Come see them at the Christmas Market. Nice vintage rustic flavor to them - they look realistic and lovely on walls!

Uglyworm was complaining it was rather cold for June, so I made him an impromptu hat and scarf. He was delighted, and insisted on modelling them for you.

I'd gone to the antique store down the road that morning to check out what they had and look for christmas presents for friends, and this little vintage badge happened to be sitting on a shelf with some bias binding. I picked it up and the lady that runs the shop told me I could have all that stuff for free. Aww! <33

LOL! Her 'buttons' on this blouse are pins, I realised I hadn't brought any pearl/white buttons with me so i couldn't finish off the top as I wanted to XD

Our friends Marty and Julie wrapped our gift with home made paper featuring a picture of Todd and I from their wedding. It was so hysterical that I saved the wrapping!

I got a bit carried away wrapping this one.

Some website once had a list of "Somenumber of Things Every Man Should Know How to Do"

One of those was NOT - but should have been - Packing a Suitcase.
