Cutie patootie paintings & making a 'mess'

Crafting, painting, thrifting and prepping - it's all happenin'! First I finished off some art school painting updates. I'm gifting a couple of these to friends.

Here's 'ORANGE you great'...

And 'you are my SUNSHINE'...

Finally here's 'you are BERRY sweet'...

Meanwhile I'm making more 'messes'... Yup I'm addicted to A Beautiful Mess!

How to stitch a Xmas stocking...

How to make a gift box...

How to upcycle cereal boxes...

How to update old tins...

How to repurpose vintage fabric...

And now onto thrifting and workshop prepping! Found a whack of kewl t-shirts and wool sweaters to upcycle at the Salvation Army. Total score!!

I've also been finding funky clothes and home decor items. Yay! Love this nood pillow I found for $3. Washed the cover and found a home for it.

2014 is rockin' and rollin'. Looking forward to a very crafty year! :-)
