Corner Table For Paws for a Cause

I've been working on pieces to be auctioned/raffled off for Paws for a Cause and here is the first piece almost done:

I am going to add some paw prints across the tops of the shelves and there are still a few places that need some touch ups ...but I'm almost done :-) on to the next piece....

Edit: With paw prints:

Paws for a Cause

To all of my animal lover friends in blogland...I am doing a fundraiser for the Peninsula SPCA  called "Paws For A Cause" (isn't that catchy) ?!?? I went yesterday and met all of the "residents" who will benefit from the fundraiser and I managed to leave empty handed *whew* but I don't how long I'll be able to hold back :-) Look at this face :

Anyhoo, if anyone would like to make a much appreciated donation I have attached the link below:
Paws For A Cause  and if your local to Newport News, VA please sign up for the festival.

The link for the event is here

Thanks so much!

Chest re-do

This little chest came from my now defunct shop. It was an awful brownish-pink color when I purchased it for $4.00 and I put a coat of OOPS blue on it. *smile* I have changed my mind several times as you can see and am now trying to decide if I want to continue on with the theme I have going on on the sides or if I want to strip the sides (again!) and do something different that will work better with the top I just finished OR if I want to do something completely different with the chest. See why I don't get many projects completed?!!?

Side

Bombay Chest

For the past few months I have started several projects and not really finished anything. So, I am posting the one piece that is closest to being finished. The Bombay chest I've been working on:

 Sorry for the blur...

I still need to "clean" the piece up and add some more detail to the sides...but I'm getting there :-)

Christmas for My Furry Friends

I have been working on Christmas stuff for my four legged friends. Otis is in the shop next to where I used to have my shop and he's always happy to see me.

I tied a blue bow around the stocking after I filled it with Denta Sticks and some Marro Snacks

Some primitive catnip mice I made for some other friends. 

I hope you're having a great holiday season!

The Decorating Begins ...

Tommy has gotten all the boxes out of the attic, garage and craft room that hold the Christmas decorations and the decorating has begun :-)

First I made sure we would have dinner ready after going through the boxes:

Roast with new potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage. Yum!

Look what greeted me yesterday morning when I went in the kitchen :

The Christmas Cacti decorate themselves~I love that about them :-)



Pomanders~these usually stay out year round. I have some pomanders that I made 20 years ago...still smell great!

Ornament made from a crab shell. umm, yeah, I do love tinsel :-)

I did decorate the mantle yesterday but I am getting ready to take it down and start over :-(

Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with more finished decorations.

Have a great day!
