Sweet teddies


This sweet bear is wearing one of my baby dresses that I wore as a baby, so I added a lace headband some roses and pearls. I also did the same on her hand. And put roses on her feet. She sits on my bed.

Altered boxes


I just finished this homespun one. It has dried apple,orange,cinnamon stick and a gingerbread man


This is a picture of the inside.


I made this out of a cigar box. I covered it in music paper, and lace.. And embellished it. This is our money box we use at the craft shows.

Altered Boxes


One of my altered boxes I made. I'm just starting to make these, so I hope to get better, as time goes by.


This is a tissue box I altered.


I do like this box. I did it victorian. The inside is also done with lace and paper.


These are two picture's I did out of tray's. The one on the left is my grandmother when she was 16. The other one is of my mother and father. It is their wedding picture.






This is a cheese box I got at a yard sale. So I altered it for my daughter, for her birthday, and filled it with woopie pies.


This is my first box I altered for Christmas. I papered it with vintage paper and embellished it.


This is my first attempt at a shadow box. Not to bad.


A tray I altered. My baby picture in the middle. A picture of my mom and dad. And pictures of them when they were little. I thought this turned out very nice.


This is a Christmas box I did. Not to bad.


I did this one with a Christmas scene. I got the little chest at a yard sale, and filled it with some toys and did a Christmas tree and put on rhinestones and gifts around the bottom, also added some lace and music paper on the inside of the box.

Victorian Christmas


This is a victorian design I did at work. The bottom is a candle holder. I did the design on top of it,  they really like this. I am glad, because so do I.


One of many of my flower pot light's. This is my design that I brought to my job, when I started to work here. I have made over a thousand of them, all a little bit different. I do them for every season. This is by far one of my favorite ones.


A picture of this vintage look. These are all my designs.

Wreath


This is the purple wreath I made at work for one of the theme trees.


I made this vintage wreath at work. We got in some nice vintage things this year.


This is another vintage wreath I did for work.

Victorian cones/Tussie Mussie


This is a cone I made at work. It was a tree and I turned it upside down, and made it into a cone. Pretty cool.


This is one of my own cones, and I made it  primitive. It is a close up picture.


Another view of the cone.

This is some of  Laurie and my crafts that we make. It was our first show.


Another view of our table.


This is yet another view.

Victorian cones/Tussie Mussie


This is my second black and silver Halloween cone I made. In the cone is a silver glitter skeleton, a spider web with a spider on it, black feathers and a pendant w/ a clock face and a mouse.






Another view of the same cone.


This cone has paper on it w/ watch faces. So I carried that theme at the top. It has a watch face, roses, pearls and a key.


This is a close up of the top.


This is my homespun cone, with old lace,cinnamon sticks, orange slices, gingerbread man, sweet annie and a small rolling pin.


A close up of the cone.


The paper has writing on it. In the top it has old lace and post cards in it.


The paper on this cone is a fashion plate design with victorian women. It has a vintage pin on the front of the cone. In the cone is feathers, pearls, a ladies shoe, flowers, some pictures of fashion ladies, a old perfume bottle and a key. On the pink braide is ladies hands.


This is a close up of the top of the cone

Altered lace trees/lace flower wreath


I made this tree out of a foam cone,as my base and then decorated it and embellished it with old jewelry.


A second tree I did. Pretty much the same way, with different embellishments.


I really like the lace flower wreath I made, I only wish the picture was better. I added keys, feathers, pearls, buttons, and old rinestone jewerly

Victorian cones/Tussie mussie


I just did this cone, with flowers from my garden. I dried them first, then did the cone. I think it turned out pretty good.


This is a vintage looking cone I did for Christmas.I antiqued the pipe cleaners, to make them look old. It doesn't show up too good, in the picture. We are getting ready for our Holiday Showcase, October 13th.

Fall Garden


I planted this wheelbarrow with mums and a pumpkin and gourds. It looks so good from the road.


Birdhouses, a star in my one garden. The plant on the trellis, is a Passionflower vine. It bloomed all summer. The flowers were just beautiful.
