Garden Time and a giveaway!

Well, it is finally warm and green here in my part of

Tennessee!

{I painted this green sign because the saying just describes me perfectly!}

So I'm planting flower pots, seeds and sprucing up my little

cottage garden

The blue bonnet is blooming...

and my roses!

As part of Paint Party Friday I am sharing a few paint projects I have done lately

{click on link above to see more works of art}

Summer days on the lake are becoming a reality again

so I was inspired to paint this "party" sign

it's for sale in my ETSY shop

Sunny yellow and juicy slices of watermelon inspired this

cute wood wreath and it sold the same day I listed it on ETSY

but I will make more "Happy Summer" ones

Summer means lots of fun celebrations, too

so I made a cupcake for all occasions

you can find it in my ETSY shop also

and last time I posted I promised a giveaway so I am giving away this

Handpainted "Have a Blessed Day" sign!

You Are My Sunshine!

We had fun at our "pot of flowers" class in the

Canvas Cafe!

These ladies painted some beautiful works of art1

This is for sale in my etsy shop "you are my sunshine" original painting...

and speaking of sunshine it is sunny here today and warming up

Yipee!

That means plowing my little vegetable garden and putting out some

flea market garden art I made!

This wood wreath on my laundry room door is finally finished

I used mesh to make the bow and I have to say with a little

help from youtube "bow making" videos it was easy!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and be sure and leave a comment and follow me too.

I will be having a giveaway next time I post so stay tuned!

Table Makeover and Be Loud!

We finished up our last "be happy" pot of flowers" class in the

Canvas Cafe this past Sunday

and how awesome to have some men in the house! WOO HOO!

and speaking of men...my son is home from college and he came to my class

and painted me this awesome piece of art!

My husband was there also and his painting was beautiful!

This black and white vase of bright red flowers will be

our next class in the Canvas Cafe

first class is this Saturday at 6:30pm

and this past Saturday was still a little chilly but the sun got

me inspired to paint my

$15 Tell City table I bought at the Goodwill

after a light sanding and good washing with soap and water

I let it dry in the sun for an hour

then painted on a light coat of white primer

after it dried for an hour I spray painted it with

Rustoleum Spray paint in

SATIN Lagoon

then I distressed it lightly with sandpaper

 

I love how it turned out and in person it is more teal in color

 

and finally a pic of my Zumba class

we did a two hour Zumbathon for

Relay for Life

It was a blast!

Thanks for stopping by!

Getting Ready For Spring!

We had our first "be happy" pot of flowers class in the

Canvas Cafe Tuesday night and this artistic group of ladies

painted some beautiful works of art!

I love to create cute items from thrift store finds and

this cute tea cup birdfeeder is hard to beat...

just buy a cup and saucer from your local thrift store, drill a hole through the middle

of the cup and saucer with a tile drill bit and attach to a tomato stake with a screw.

I caught this beautiful Cardinal feasting shortly after i filled the cup with birdseed.

I am making some more

glass tiki totems

Just stack a cute combo of colorful thriftstore glassware and

attach them together with GE Silicone 11

and you have a colorful tea light tiki torch for your

Cottage Garden!

 

And it is always a tradition for me to create something

new and cute for my door to welcome Spring

and cheer things up those last days of cold weather...

What better than a thriftstore frame spray painted and polka dotted

with a Hobby Lobby letter I dressed up in painted flowers hanging in the middle!

I just drilled two holes in the letter and attached

to frame with polka dot ribbon and hung on my front door.

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

I am looking forward to Spring

heck...I already bought my supply of Zinnia seeds

for my Cottage Garden..cant wait to plant!

Have a wonderful Day!

The Canvas Cafe

I finished up the "Owl Love" class

with this fun group of artistic ladies

and as i look out the window and see my cottage garden

empty and bare I imagine this picture in my mind...

because I know Spring is coming and all its colorful glory!

Have a gorgeous day ya'll!
