i'm board.

more boards. yay.

i'm pretty pleased with this one.

painted it green, then cream, gave it a good rub with brown and black glaze and sanded. ["in wonder" is brown vinyl]

[no flash pix]

this one i'm not a huge fan of soooo i think she's gonna get redid.

the sander got a little excited and took off too much of the S

i used black glaze on this one too. didn't do a whole lot. it looks orange but it's coral. i think cuz the glazed darkened it a bit made it more orangey.

whatevs. it's coo. still have about 3 more to do! woot woot. prob not this week tho. well maybe one more today.

bow board

taryn and i made a bow board yesterday. turned out pretty sweet i think. now i just need bunches of bows to clip on it!:D

thanks taryn!

dream in color

so i found a new blog [Redefining C] yesterday and decided to copy some ideas. not this exact quote, but style i guess. she used a lot of cabinet doors and so i was searching for a cheap place to get them. then i kept reading and she said she got them at ReStore [Habitat for Humanity]. i googled it and found one just down the street!:) yay. greg and i went down to check it out. doors: $2, drawer fronts: $1! i got a few doors and this is one i did. the other ones are bigger so i'm not sure what to do with them yet. i want to go back [tomorrow perhaps?] and get more doors this size or smaller.

it took me awhile after i finished it to really like it but i think i love it now. it is a little hard to read but i still like it. i have some other ideas already drawn up, i just need more doors! i'm thinking about selling them too on etsy or facebook. whatevs. not sure about prices yet.

i think i got a little carried away with the sander so it makes "dream" a little harder to read but it adds to that weathered look i suppose.

if you want it, name your price. or if you want something similar but with a different phrase/quote i'll do it!:)

the belly has arrived.

here are some bump pix for whoever's viewing pleasure. enjoy.

stripes aren't exactly the best thing to wear with a growing belly but whatevs. oh and it's gonna be like 103* today. wonderful.
