Laid back Sunday afternoon....indeed!!

Happy Happy Sunday peoples. I hope that you have had a great weekend and are just having a laid back, restful afternoon.

I'm so excited and hope that this week flies by. Noooo, wait.....I can't wish that cause I have way to many projects I have got to get finished by weeks end. I need the week to go by kinda pokey like. Now I'm in a quandary. Do I want it to fly by or poke along? Hmmmm, poke along I guess but I'm still VERY excited about this coming Saturday. The Chazman and I have been invited to a Christmas ornament swap and they do the swap by playing dirty Santa. It's going to be soooo much FUN!!!! Bahahahaha...practicing evil laugh for when I take someone else's gift and ya better believe I will cause I know they are gonna do it to me too and more than once I'm sure.

I have been painting the ornaments that the Chazman and I are taking. I did one of my silly fish (Bubbles) and crab for him to take.

For mine I did one of my mermaids. She is still drying but will also have one of the hemp twine ribbons tied to the top and the sand and shells on the inside.

I have so enjoyed painting the glass ornies this year and I plan on going to Hobby Lobby after Christmas and buying several boxes of the ornaments so that I can paint some all year and do sets of certain themes to be ready for next year. Sooooo, if you have any in mind that YOU might want just give me a hollar. ^_^ Ummm, perhaps I should add...not want as in I'll give them to you but would like for me to paint so that you could buy. hehehe

Now....I have got to get my hiney in gear and get those family gifts made. Y'all can all just call me Whootie (as in night owl) for the next week as that's what I'm gonna have to be to get all of these done. Wish me luck....pppplease!!!

Until next time.............Hugs,
Whootie  (hehehe)

Pretty Pretty Peacocks

Good Morning peoples and WELCOME. I love when you come and spend some time under the old Southern ooak tree.

I finished the special order of hand painted peacocks on the glass Christmas ornaments. I think they are going to look lovely hanging on a tree with lights shimmering off of them. I really enjoyed painting a pair of these beautiful creatures. What a unique item to be a collector of, yes? That's who these were ordered for. Perhaps I can talk Shannon into sending me a picture of the tree.....we would all love to see it I'm sure. If she does I will post it here in an update. (good way to get you to come back...hehe)

Today I'm going to work on a steampunk piece....one I started planning over a month ago. YIKES....has it been that long already peoples? Do you remember the piece? I did get the main focal piece started for it A wise old Steampunk owl.

I need to go to Hobby Lobby (ohhh poor me...a trip to Hobby Lobby...snicker snicker) to get some more watch pieces to use for the monocle that the owl will be a part of. Yes, you read right. I'm making a monocle necklace. A FUN piece for sure.

I hope that YOU have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend. Do something creative if you get the chance....make some gifts. Nothing better than a gift given that's been made from the heart and with your hands for that special person.

OMGOSH....I still have to put my tree up too. Good grief how did December sneak up on me peoples. ^_^

Peace,
