Monsters

I made these for my little nephew's for Christmas. The little one is for my 5 month old nephew. The face will be added when he gets older so he won't choke on the eyes.

Christmas projects

My sister has been eying this toy chest in my moms basement for ages. My little bro was using it as a stash all when he cleaned his room. It was unfinished and hiding in a corner. I emptied it out hulled it up stairs, disassembled it, sanded it down, 3 coats of paint (it just sucked it up and I will always use a primer from now on) and stain brushed on and wiped off. Dang I loved this piece too and knew right where I would put it if I were to keep it. Since I loved it so much I knew my little sis would too. I left it dissembled because she was coming up from Utah in her Accord and I knew it wouldn't fit in the trunk. She was so excited about seeing it put together she assembled it until she left a few days later. Huge success! I love this game.


I found this clock at Ross before Christmas for 10 bucks. I purchased it with the intention of painting it black and giving it to my sister-in-law. However when I got it home I noticed a little chip at the bottom of the clock face. Part of me was sad because I new she would love it all dolled up. But, now I could keep it because I knew just the right place for it and the chip would go undetected. Oh, well Merry Christmas to me! I love the way it turned out, but I am not in love with the way the face looks. It will be getting a new face when I decide how the rest of the wall is going to look.

I purchased these sticks at Ti Pan a few years ago and displayed them in a few different ways. I wanted something new so, I decided to brake them in half. I like the way they turned out but I am thinking of spray painting them white and glitter on top of that. Not sure...they are a work in progress.
