    Valentine Journal page

    I was inspired today..finally…to get my fingers full of paint.

    Valentine journalThis journal is a former children’s board book.  I covered each of the pages with book pages in a very random fashion.  It gives a very nice texture while covering the slick and colorful images on the original pages.

    <3 Happy Valentines Day!! <3

    Working with needles not paint

    I’ve been back on a knitting and sewing kick….again.

    I can’t seem to get myself down to my artspace long enough to unearth my table again. Today, since it was pretty warm, I tackled the driveway…I finally found the blacktop under all that compacted snow! I’m going to have some sore shoulders tomorrow!

    T Tuesday: treasure edition

    Today for T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth, I won’t be sharing a steaming cuppa anything… But I will share my brand spanking new teapot!!

    Isn’t it pretty!?!

    And here’s the kicker…I got it at Goodwill! Look it still has the sticker on the bottom. Can you believe it! When I saw the Le Creuset on the lid I knew it was a steal and I’d be taking it home with me.  I have a vintage Le Creuset Dutch oven almost this exact color that I found at a garage sale about 13 years ago. I didn’t even blink at the $7 price tag. Score…that Dutch oven now retails for $350. Of course, mine is aged and weathered or shall we say…well seasoned.

    le creusetI happened to have a 25% off coupon to use as well. Oh yea…love them coupons!

    goodwill treasureI was also able to find a few other treasures…like more yarn and rubber stamps. Like I really needed more but I have a hard time passing them up. The tart tins I think I’ll alter in some way…maybe make ornaments from them??

    Grocery shopping is on my list today as well as knitting group and visiting my mom.

    What are doing today??
