Good Morning.

Joy.............................all ways

My weekend finds said" Spring!"

I have some sewing to do...I found these great vintage sheets and bedding that I will turn into a slipcover for the loveseat in my studio. Here I am just trying to see what I like where.
This was just a little cut-out that was with all the frames....frames that I resisted...such trouble resisting frames! I have two on the studio table waiting for content!
Joan Walsh Anglund.....love her....
Anscoflex II my dear sweetie spotted upside down in a box...just waiting for me!
Lots of needlework for little money...that put a spring in my step.....

Two new albums...worlds apart, right?
Favorite glue gun oh so dead....new in package oh so good...
Jars of glitter...for a bright shiny day.

Sorry some of the pictures were a bit of a blur ....not in a good way blur either. I was to lazy to put my camera on a tripod and I refuse to shoot on auto...that's what you get when the lighting is low and you have a bit of a shake. Now let me go peak to see what others have uncovered.


Joy................always

Remember when....

I loved making collection boxes from a shoe box and tissue paper wrapped around the end of a pencil dapped in glue....you would place the box on your school desk and classmates would come by and drop Valentiens into the box. Oh...to stow away in a corrner to open each card to see who favored you so sweet......

Will you be my Valentine?

Joy........................always

sneak a peak...

So, to have the garage studio to myself....I sent dear sweetie off to claim a Slipper chair I found on Craigslist....it was screaming to shed its velvet dress for a more comfy burlap...and I was listening!!! To the garage I escaped paint and Pandora in hand.......(Loggins & Messina radio)
Now remember this is just peak
there is a whole inspirational story that will follow...so enjoy your peak.....




Joy................................always

Sunday by myself....

I'm spending the morning blog surfing. Waiting for the sun to find its way to the garage to share some much needed heat. I see from my perch on the love seat in my studio that Mr. Sunshine has broken through the tree line. I have four pieces of furniture that I am working on in the garage. Today I'm working on getting the paint sprayer to work....these old bones don't do well on the cement floor!

Joy...................always

An aversion to white...really!

So my vision for this beaut is chippy white, complete with vintage hardware. Stop....shouts my dear sweetie. Did you feel that breeze as my head snapped around! What? You're not painting that...I will keep it before I let you paint it! Now he is not one to give an opinion on how I repurposed an item, so why now. The truth be told I think he wants this for his very own! Now mind you I have offered more than once for him to add it to his study. He is stead fast that he does not want to keep it. So, stay tune will it go white or will he keep it?


This sweet little shelf is headed for The Depot At Gibson Mill.


Joy.........always
