Jewelry Displays

I had this idea in my mind for months. I needed new ways to display my jewelry pieces. Then I decided it was time to try. I purchased brown clip board and tried a few techniques. It was a process turning new clipboard in something vintage. A challenge for me since it was my first time, but I love the result and each necklace has a special place now.

AMORE * LOVE

How was your weekend?
I am really sore today....we worked in the yard like crazy this past weekend!
The rule was....no photos, no internet just work with Deano and the boys.
How can you not stop and take pictures?

The white peach tree is blooming and the pink jasmine is just going crazy climbing the arbor.

Look what I found!

I was not planning to create today but.....while cleaning the workshop I found a bag full of baskets and these white roses. Well then....it looked like I purchased both items for a reason.
I glued the rose to the basket and voila'. I love this look very much!

 I am thinking....
maybe they are great for organizing  art supplies?
What do you think?

What a beautiful mess!

It's raining! and you know what happens in my dining room when it rains?

A beautiful mess!

I decided to work on few solder bottles

While waiting for glue and gel and more glue to dry I started cleaning and organizing the cabinet that holds everything I need to solder and few more...pretty little things that make me smile.


I don't paint but I love brushes






What a beautiful mess!

to you.....
