WOYWW #186 A bit late...

Well, I just completely lost track of time this last week and the stores being closed on Tuesday made me feel like it was Sunday so Wednesday felt like Monday which means today should still only be Tuesday! Hey. That means I'm actually early for WOYWW! In "Deeyll" time. ;) What's WOYWW? Ask dear Julia, here!

So anyways I've been working on a super fun project, though it's not turning out as smashingly as the one I was inspired by, here. See how clever I'm being this week? I remembered who inspired me! Actually I just still have her blog opened up on another tab, otherwise I would be telling y'all someone inspired me but not remembering who! lol I don't know that lady personally but WOW am I impressed with her stuff! Next I want to make a carousel, but first I tried the wagon thingy...which is not finished but here's what I've got so far:

The whole thing is up on ribbon spools right now and until I get the stairs put in, they seem to help support its weight, but this is the main display side. Next is the end, where I will put the little set of stairs once I get them finished...

What do you guys think of the fence? It's metal and rusty looking, which is kinda great, but I'm wondering if I should do a shabby white paint job on it? Well, here is a close-up of the "entry" end...

And here is a close-up of the display side, oh I think I wanted you guys to be able to see the mini trellis like thing I wrapped around the front door with its tulle and flower vine ribbon on it...or just the details? IDK
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I've been up to this week and have a fabulous weekend! :)

WOYWW #184

So, what have I been up to this week? Well, for those who are here since it's Wednesday, thanks to the fabulous Julia at Stamping Ground, you'll be wanting to see the workspace, huh?

I've made a right old mess, eh? I've also been watching Shakespeare soooo...a bad English accent is running the commentary in my head right now. :) But here is the project I've been working on, the one I alluded to last week and for which most of the mess can be blamed upon...

It's not finished, exactly, yet. But I think its close. I love the colors and shabbiness but its actually not a style I feel that I am able to do very well at...what do you all think of it? Can you tell me what it's missing?
Anyways, here is another card I made this week...The 5 pennants part is copied from a design I saw elsewhere but the rest is pretty much all me. Except of course that putting doilies on cards wasn't my idea originally, either...well, I still *actually* made it so that counts for something, right? :)

It's really pretty cheerful, huh? Well, I hope your week is as bright and cheery as this card and as yummy as the chocolate cake I had last week. And this week. ;)

You would think...

We've been pretty busy around here the last few weeks/months, so I haven't been posting as much as I should've...but I finally finished a few projects today and got some pictures of them so I can share! I'm making some new things and I still have a few others in the works that I don't have pictures of yet, since they aren't completed, of course, but as soon as they are I hope to have pictures up for ya'll. And BIG NEWS...a friend and I are opening a booth in a small crafter's mall here in my hometown! Yeah for us! Her husband says she has to make some money or quit crafting and my husband says, oh wait, that's right, I don't have a husband! For once I can say nannynannybooboo or some other form of heeheehee...but I would like to be a "profitable" kind of servant so I'm hopeful that a physical location to show off my creations will work out better than etsy did. I just don't have the dedication that working a shop through etsy requires, ya know? Plus, they nickel and dime you to death! Anyways, we're really excited and planning to set up shop on Tuesday next week! So, on to the pictures...first up is the beginning of our shop name wall thingy...the letters are Q and L which some will recognize as my online "persona".

 Partially finished...I used flexible greenery for my base so my letters could have plenty of flourish to them and still feel organic since the occasional bit of greenery peeks through.

 Pretty much completed my Q here...

 And here is my L, also pretty much completed...

 That's the tips of my toes in my pink and brown Croc flip-flops up there! And the QL completed and together, which is sorta how they will be displayed.

 Close up of the Q and L...

 And I will have before and after pictures next week of our booth! Next are the apothecary jars I have been making...

 That's a large, medium and small, from left to right and I am planning to sell them in our booth! Accessories not included, of course, unless you really need some cotton balls, q-tips and a few fake white roses... :)

This set is a little different from the first set, or at least the large apothecary jar in the middle is different. It's larger and I'm not married to it's lid yet...so that part is probably still a work in progress, although I found some pieces at HL tonight that I think will look awesome so we'll see. I guess that's all for now. I still have to figure out how to make two long postcard ribbon thingies for the doors to go on our main display piece of furniture...we'll hang my hairbows/clothing embellishments from them and stack our glass wares(my apothecary jars and my friends Redneck Wineglasses) and my cards on the shelves. I found some really cute little take-out boxes to display my necklaces in, and they make a bonus ready to go gift wrapping!

Sabbath Flowers!

I didn't grow 'em but I did arrange them...

The last photo has pretty flowers and my pretty little boy! Okay, he's not little and cute may sound better to his ears but he is a treasure and that I am sure about! And how do you like my salt and pepper shakers? (The birds on the table) Have a good one!
