Hey there everyone!!! I finally finished up this wonderful penny rug last night and got another one cut out..it has a bunny on the front..didn't get it started though..
what do you all think..it took 5 days to do this one..it will be going up in my etsy shoppe this friday as we are having a huge salabration/celebration with our OFG TEAM from March 11th-25th..so stop by and see whats new.. I have seen whats new and there is some great talent..;)
I got 2 packages in the mail yesterday...more goodies so I can make more penny/folkart pillows or rugs with.;)
Remember this trencher I got in the mail a couple of weeks ago...well it certainly wasn't to my liking..so I painted it..and it turned out muddy..(sorry didn't take photos) so then yesterday I painted it again..
here it is sanded and with no old english scratch cover on it..the blue is much more pronounced..
here is the finished product.;)
what do you think? I love how this turned out..waiting for the words to dry...as I used paint creme colors and it takes a bit to dry..I can't wait to add this to my dining table with all my easter goodies to go in it..;)
if you go to the handmade fair this is a wonderful site of artist selling their wares there and Brenda of Vintage polkadot is giving away a wonderful bunny..so please stop by and check out this wonderful site..
last night I pulled out some videos that we made of our first house and our second house and our time we lived in italy..and we sat and reminisced watching all the stuff..that we had kind of forgotten..we also got to see our beloved animals that are no longer with us..it was nice to go down memory lane..then at 10:10pm we lost power till 2:30am this morning..so we went to bed and I read a bit and then lights out..today I have to pick up a few groceries and getting the back of my hair trimmed a bit shorter..and then off to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned.;) so take care of yourselves today and....

ReplyDeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteYou sure are hooked on those penny rugs. It's very nice....love the flower penny. The trencher...such an improvement. Glad you are liking it now. I pull out the photo albums sometimes and think back to how young and thin we were! LOL! Hopefully I'll be at least one of the 2 soon...and no, not young again! Don't I wish!
Have a nice day.
