We’re getting ready at my mom’s house to start decorating for Spring. A little late, I know, but that’s us. She just bought a beautiful new ivory bedding set from HSN. While it looks stunning with her black furniture, the room was just a little ‘blah’. We’ve talked about painting the walls – finally! I’ve […]
Storybook Castle . . . Again
I posted this project yesterday but could not get the link party buttons to post. I have no idea why. I tried everything – deleting, reposting, etc. – and nothing worked. So I decided to rewrite it as a new post and see if it happens. If this has happened to you, please let me […]
Storybook Castle – Mural on Canvas
You know that old adage, “the more things change, the more they stay the same”? It seems to hold true with decorating, especially little one’s rooms. Little girls still love princesses & fairies, and little boys love trucks & transportation – things that move. So I painted another castle, this one on a large 52” […]
How to make an easy Window Mural
This project was such fun! I used Plaid’s Gallery Glass. It’s a great product line to use on any glass – windows, mirrors, glass tabletops and even lampshades.Light still filters in, but you get decoration & privacy, which is what my mother wanted in her side light. Here’s what it looked like before – just […]

I’ve been taking them from her since last summer and I still have to modify my moves. I generally make or paint something for her […]
Bulldog Portrait

Topiaries, Topiaries, Everywhere!
I’ve been inspired by so many bloggers recently that I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet today & redo my blog. Just simplify it, really. Before I can do that, I have to update my Etsy shop, Zazzle & my website. Whew! I may not get it all done today, but it’s a start. I’ve […]
Baby Name Canvas
I’ve seen these canvases on other artist’s blogs & websites & decided to give one a shot this weekend. My favorites are over @ The Magic Brush. I love how she adds feathers & bling! Well, I didn’t have any feathers so I just used paint and wrapped the edges with ribbon. I painted this […]
