Seven days left until the deadline....  Yes, I am counting today and the last day.  Every day matters at this point. Here are a couple more accessories I made.  The first are Bonnie Lavish Dahlias in orange.  I made red ones previously but this time us… more »

Today I spent some time putting together books for the fireplace bookcases.  Some were scanned from books in my personal library, but most were cover images I found online. I used bass wood in various thicknesses to create the pages, painting the edg… more »

As I show you two tiny accessories I've just made, you'll likely guess the direction I went with for the Spring Fling.  :D  Both were found from links on Completely Coastal.  If you love anything beachy, that is the place to go! The first is a 1:12 sca… more »

I made Bonnie Lavish red dahlias previously and loved the results.  The kits are super easy, too!  This time around, I made sunflowers.  I love sunflowers!  There's a field on the way to work that has sunflowers planted about every other year, sometimes… more »
