Rocking Chair Redo!!

A custom order to paint this chair for a classroom.  She wants it to read to her students.  Of course gotta do the mascot theme and school colors for her room.  Blue/white and Longhorms.

The before....

I've never had to actually refinish a chair.  The vaneer (don't even know how to spell it)  on the seat was buckling up and the paint was all chipping away.  Sanded it all over and ripping the top layer off the seat part.  Haven't gotten it all off yet...still working on it.  Hopefully when I prime it, it will seal it and no more buckling seat/wood.  Can't wait to start working my magic!

Finished project!!

Baby High Chair

This was a process for me.  A friend had her children's highchair in storage.  It definately needed some TLC, with broken legs, etc.

Painted it without putting the tray on it and realized the rabbit was too low to be seen. 

So not only did I add another rabbit to make it taller, I changed them from brown rabbits to white rabbits, a butterfly flew in, grass grew and the sky appeared.

May have to make another change.  The rabbit I was looking at had one of his ears perked up, kinda looks funny so guess I will change the ear.  Other than that...my Facebook friends tell me this is my best work!!!  Thanks ladies....

Custom Ordered Step Stools

Created 2 step stools.  One was for 2 little girls soMom  just wanted a whimsical theme.

Love the turquoise and orange!

The other one was with a dinosaur Theme.  I thought this was pretty cute!  Loved the finished product.

Kitchen Cabinet Door Redone!

Love this old kitchen cabinet door.  Many uses and so many ideas.  I have several of these cabinet doors.  All I did was sand down the old white paint.  Love, love the REAL Original crackle paint on this one.

Little girl's Chair

Got ahold of 4 small chairs.  Created this one for any little girl out there to enjoy.  I love the roses cascading from the top and the added touch of a dragonfly on the backside.

The second is also my favorite...a barn with of course a rooster!!!!  Also available in my booth space at Full Circle Antiques in Beeville, TX.  $25.00

Antique chair Make Over!

My next project is for a dear friend who wants an old antique chair all dolled up!  As I cleaned up the chair, sanded it down and started to prime it...I kept getting the feeling that it was a pretty old chair and I shouldn't paint over it.  The seat part is rather thick and you can see the saw marks..I primed on.

Before.....

You will have to wait for the After....still a work in progress....

Adult Division Entry

I have decided to enter the local Bee County Jr. Livestock & Homemakers Show Adult Division.  Yes, some crafts.  Possibly 3 paintings and 3 wreaths.  What was I thinking?  Entry money goes to Premium Fund for the kids.  Winners get rosettes.  Mostly bragging rights.  Will see.  Wish me luck!!

1. Wreath..Antlers and Pinecones.  This took several hours to make.  Hot glue gun got a workout.

2. Wreath...Living Wreath (Succulents)

This was an extra long process.  Used Spanish Moss wrapped around wire wreath.Then took cuttings from succulents and dug holes in moss to put each plant.

3. Wreath...Easter (wooden picture frame, rabbit napkin rings and bow.

Took out glass and backing from wooden frame.  Spray painted.  Made bow and attatched rabbit napkin rings.  Glued Easter Greetings metal envelope on bow.

Started on a canvas painting yesterday.  don't know if I like it.  Will post the finished product soon.  However, need to do some other things first.  gotta go to an adjacent county and shear one of their show lambs for the show tomorrow.  Then a busy weekend of shearing our county kids show lambs and goats!  Whew.  don't know if I can get all my crafts done in time.  Oh well.
