Another late post, but I am catching up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a flower pot that I painted for my boyfriend's mother for Mother's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She likes bees, well they actually keep bees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted a cute pair of love bees sitting on a flower.</div>

A late post, but I am trying to get back into posting regularly on my blog again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I surprised my Mom with a canvas painting of herself and us kids as angels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is very different than the style of painting I usually do, as it is more on the abstract side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

She loved it! She said she really liked the colors and the meaning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put a lot of thought into the layout of this painting, and I think that she knew it when she looked at it.</div>

If you have seen some of my blog posts in the past, you will know my younger brother LOVES Superman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His birthday was last weekend, so of course I made his something in Superman theme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had asked me about painting him a cup.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally, I wanted to make the Superman logo look like it was ripping out of skin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I didn't like the way my sketches were turning out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up decided to make the logo look like it was being unzipped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I work with a friend who just recently picked her college.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had been having a hard time deciding, really weighing her choices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt that she did a great job with this big decision, so I made her coffee coozie and added in a special note to show her I was proud of her!</div>

My boyfriend's sister's birthday was last month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While browsing threw different boot warmer patterns, I came across one that had a bow on it -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they instantly made me think of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made them for her as a belated birthday gift.</div>

What makes you think of the Wizard of Oz more then ruby red slippers?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well that is exactly what inspired this ornament.</div>

My younger brother LOVES Superman!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I racked my brain this past Christmas trying to figure out what I could make him in that theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to try my first canvas painting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how it turned out and he was pretty excited about it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He goes by Skip, so I tied the "S" in Superman to the "S" in Skip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He made me feel awesome when he told me it looked like a store bought canvas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(He wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not - but I quickly informed him that it was a huge compliment!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the back, one of the things I put was "Because brothers can be superheroes too".</div>

The pattern was easy to follow, and as you can see, turned out beautifully!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it so much that I want to make one for myself as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't selfish with this one though, it did make it to it's intended recipient on Christmas and she loved it.</div>

A friend of mine asked me to paint an ornament for her, illustrating her family as snowmen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out by finding everyone's favorite color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then painted the snowmen, making sure everyone was "accurate in size".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I accented one with a stocking cap, one with a bow and scarf, one with a top hat and bow tie, and one with ear muffs and a scarf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote the names of each person on their accessories as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is also a heart to the side, that I put the year in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think it is neat when I find things to paint the whole round ornaments as,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
instead of just part of it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so when the idea of something knitting/crocheting came up,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just knew that I had to paint a yarn ball!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turned out very fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it is visually appealing when the whole glass ornament ball is used for the painting.</div>

I hand-painted Christmas ornaments for all of my coworkers this season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my coworkers, Paige, she loves pandas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, of course I would paint a panda on her ornament!</div>

I had a special request from a gentleman to paint a portrait of his girlfriend, himself, and two daughters on an ornament for Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had never tried anything like this before, but was willing to give it a try!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was willing to go with more of a caricature portrait, so this is what I came up with:</div>

This Christmas, while making ornaments, I wanted to make something special in remembrance of my Papa to hang on the Christmas tree.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Papa passed away from lung cancer several years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted an angel made from a lung cancer ribbon onto a glass ornament.</div>

This set of ornaments was a custom request, a gentleman wanted them as a Christmas gift for his wife.</div>

Seed beads, when used creatively, can make beautiful jewelry.</div>

Here is a necklace that I made as a Christmas gift.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I strung three strands each of white seed beads, silver/grey, and clear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took these strands and braided them together, making a slightly chunky necklace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then took a silver chain and hooked it onto each end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The necklace was long enough that I didn't even have to attach a clasp!</div>

Penguins are cute anytime of year, but they are perfect for winter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a cute penguin painted onto a glass ornament ball:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the ornaments are cuter when you are able to make them the face or the whole body of something, so for this one it's just the penguin face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It worked out perfectly on the round ornament ball!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for looking!</div>

I'm a little late on posting this, but I made Bella (my dog) a Halloween/Fall bandana.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a couple of different ideas on Pinterest and kind of combined a couple of them and tweaked them to my liking to suit Bella and how I wanted the bandana to work and look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypN0hy5tj841ZB2Sy4PNoiHPQyE4phtON31zLlRMBZfQ-xsZl92ubslOfZl9wAd7ePTPJNY00Q6cHEERQc0ziiiKDftanUbWl9puVSEBH7xIyLq9KVYgh46xIfY7pYmpoTnzLjDZnH28/s1600/IMG_3156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypN0hy5tj841ZB2Sy4PNoiHPQyE4phtON31zLlRMBZfQ-xsZl92ubslOfZl9wAd7ePTPJNY00Q6cHEERQc0ziiiKDftanUbWl9puVSEBH7xIyLq9KVYgh46xIfY7pYmpoTnzLjDZnH28/s400/IMG_3156.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bandana is very simple and does not tie around her neck, it actually slides unto her collar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is wonderful because she does not pay in any mind at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfR9FjhsEt-AhwzDZYx0Me03FhG3GvCx5KryUjIRG2BSEZT6R4wvtTNSmklKTDqFd-7xLVExjO9BiRuyllWxcAsrNMh70OGhtXmQ1L_K5jxNhBAA5K7LEIkg_fg6O6P6ZfuqCBlEQfv0/s1600/IMG_3158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfR9FjhsEt-AhwzDZYx0Me03FhG3GvCx5KryUjIRG2BSEZT6R4wvtTNSmklKTDqFd-7xLVExjO9BiRuyllWxcAsrNMh70OGhtXmQ1L_K5jxNhBAA5K7LEIkg_fg6O6P6ZfuqCBlEQfv0/s400/IMG_3158.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did do a seam all the way around so that it would be machine-washable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want it to just be plain polka dots, so I added a cut out a pumpkin design from felt and hand-stitched it on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bella has gotten lots of compliments on her bandana on our walks outside!</div>

I was drawing some fun sketches of holiday drinks when I thought about giving them a try on the ornaments that I have been painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one of them, a Christmas martini:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I drew my image on, painting a silver background around it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then painted in the details of the Christmas martini.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last, I added red and white polka dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turned out to be quite a festive ornament!</div>

Sock monkeys are cute and make great decorations for anytime of year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so why not have one on your tree, as a Christmas ornament?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one that I have hand-painted with acrylics on a glass ball ornament:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept with the traditional sock monkey colors so that it would be easily recognizable, but you could also change up the color scheme to personalize it.</div>

I have been working on painting ornaments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are glass ornaments that I have been painting with acrylics and then sealing with a gloss clear coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to try a chevron pattern since it is so popular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmXoYMcmvSuSTXSyQCViknKeOeg9anMUuTBBt49tW_romHpy4tzsmCp2jE6wxiw8nyA3HH3Vd_ZVuF3IiByyRuVXcrn3pCVJFthwEMAWyw-w8qKN33gMaLQR4VZR_4xqFnadLt75btTw/s1600/IMG_3176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmXoYMcmvSuSTXSyQCViknKeOeg9anMUuTBBt49tW_romHpy4tzsmCp2jE6wxiw8nyA3HH3Vd_ZVuF3IiByyRuVXcrn3pCVJFthwEMAWyw-w8qKN33gMaLQR4VZR_4xqFnadLt75btTw/s320/IMG_3176.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a green and white to make the chevron pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On top of the chevron pattern I drew a silhouette of a reindeer and painted it in with red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The result is a fun, modern Christmas ornament!</div>

Need to make a gift for someone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does that someone love books?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that was the situation I was in for my Dad...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I decided to make him a Harry Potter bookmark out of felt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with a rectangle piece of flesh-tone felt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then cut out hair, glasses, eyes, a nose, and a mouth out of black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of red I cut a lightening bolt scar and to rectangles for the scarf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of yellow I cut a large rectangle for the scarf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hand stitched everything down with coordinating embroidery floss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then finished it off by stitching on another rectangle piece of flesh-tone felt on the back to cover up all of the other stitches and knots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I think this one is fun and I can't wait to wear it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The beads help to jazz it up a bit.</div>

If you're a crafter, then you know how rare it is to make something for yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I finally did! Yay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have so many cute ideas for necklaces for myself, I just never get around to making them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made three necklaces for myself this past weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is one of them:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saw these two charms and knew they went perfect together!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are both charms from the Fairy Tale line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a head pin to attach the dragon on so that it would hang longer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added a black rhinestone charm at the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am happy with how this turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now go out and slay your own dragons!</div>

This past Thursday was my older brother's birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was in a dilemma of what to make for him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had this little monkey figurine sitting on my shelf, waiting to be painted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't want to paint it like just a plain old, two tones of brown monkey though.. that would be boring!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally decided to paint it like a pirate! Michael loves pirates and monkeys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why not combine the two?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what I ended up with:</div>

I am really happy with how it turned out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just used acrylic paints to paint him and then sprayed him with glossy sealer to give him a shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Michael seemed to really like him!</div>
