Polkadot Lamps and More!

Just had to post pics of my 12-year old daughter Coppi's new room! My very talented mother, who can sew virtually anything, made the curtains and decorated both my girls' bedrooms and they turned out awesome!  Here are pics of her handiwork on Coppi's room. Perry's room to follow when complete!

The lamps were put out as trash by a neighbor and my mom rescued them. Coppi did the polka dots all by herself!

Chicken Licken

Just finished this table and chairs for a friend's kitchen!

Snow Day!

Well, the snow in Ga has us trapped inside AGAIN!  But at least we can paint while wrapped in a warm blanket!  The stool I found in the trash is coming along, of course not how I originally envisioned but that's one of the great things about creating!  You never know where you may end up! Here's the progress so far.....

Going to add more designs and some fabric scraps tied around legs.

Here's something else I worked on to beat the boredom today....

12 x 12 Canvas - I just picked these colors, but of course it could be done with any initial and in any colors.

My next project has to be a soccer canvas for my daughter....tomorrow's Snow Day Project, I guess!  Please check back soon to see more of Heather's art. She is getting it ready to post!  Stay warm!!!

Old & New Projects

Super Bowl Night!  (I'm trying to sound excited about that, ha ha.)  Here are some pics of upcycled items ....Enjoy!

This was an old piano bench (I think!) someone was trashing.  After a coat of blue paint with polka dots, it ended up with a new glass top on someone's porch.  

Sign I made for the AWESOME dance teachers at Joanne Collier's Studio of Dance in Rome, Ga.   

It's a 12 x 12.  

Another of my first projects....Someone was throwing out this old chair and DIGS asked that it be painted to be upcycled into a plant holder.  I never got to see it with the plant, but I was told it now has a happy home in someone's yard.  Check out DIGS and the great things they do at http://dev.digsrome.org/.  

Furniture

A Little Bit of Furniture.... Kids' furniture is the best!  

Little Girl's Owl Chair - Ribbon on back and around spindles on bottom

This is still in progress - gotta add some polka-dot flair and ribbon trim

The first piece of kids' furniture I did....need to find a better picture.  Sold with matching chairs by the DIGS organization.  If you've never heard of them, check them out...a wonderful organization.
