In case you are curious, THIS is an update on the Beehive and THAT is an update on my crafting. Let's start with the THIS because that (not that THAT) is much more exciting.
Yesterday the husband hung my four valances on my four windows. We only had one argument and neither of us threatened Divorce so overall I consider it a very successful day. I splurged on the valances but in my defence - they are loaded with bees and they were made in the USA. I am waiting none to patiently for my Root Beer bulletin board. That's all the hint I am giving so check back next week for the reveal.
The top shelves are where my stamps live in a colorful collection of cigar boxes.
Need more!
Now to the THAT. Another update without anything new to report. I am working on just one project. It is a mini album for the very patient Tanya. She sent me a beautiful mini which is displayed on the shelf above on the right. Please Tanya, don't give up on me!
Domestic Goddess and Pears - they go together don't they?
I had to work last weekend at an Artisan Fair (seriously folks, that is a part of my 9-5 job!) and one of the vendors gave me a box of dominos. I couldn't refuse his generosity so I lugged them home and went straight to Pinterest and Etsy to see what I could make with them. Lots of jewelry but I wanted to create something different. Haven't found anything that has caught my fancy but I did find a seller on Etsy who has gorgeous graphics. I bought one and now am ready to create something. Anyone have any ideas?If I can't find something quickly the husband has threatened to take them to his work for his patients to play with. Doesn't he know that dominos are meant for art not play???
Wow the Beehive is looking amazing. Message to Tony - Well done on the Handyman work and a big No to stealing the dominos!! Ellen must be allowed to create!! Can't wait to see the Beehive and the mini finished xx Michelle
ReplyDeleteThe Beehive is almost finished. I'll let you know when to pop the popcorn, sit back and enjoy the video tour. HUGS
Deletehi ellen! the beehive looks fantastic! maybe you could make magnets out of the dominoes. i received a couple a few years ago that are gorgeous. im not sure what all she did to them..but they are pink and swirly, shiny, and smooth. anyways..just a thought! i cant wait to see more of your beehive!

Now the husband will have to find his own dominos because I have enough ideas to use the entire box! HUGS
I think I'd drill through the dominoes and string them up as bunting!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a doll! And The Beehive looks FANTASTIC!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCindy, I NEED a bunting in the Beehive. I actually bought some old bumble bee paper for the project but I love the idea of a small bunting using the dominoes. Thanks and HUGS BTW do you need any dominoes??
ReplyDeleteTanya, this weekend will be devoted entirely to you!!! I will be posting a photo on Sunday of your mini!!!!!!
