First of all, let’s talk about Workshops! Paint and Embellish this tray, on June 23rd! Hello, beautiful! How are you feeding your creative spirit this summer? Before opening the shop, in 2012, my creative spirit was buried under the sofa cushion, sitting next to some petrified sesame sticks!

Greetings, friend! I was up at the lake house, over the chilly weekend there. An indoor project was in order. I hung a mirror, in the upstairs landing, some time ago. I purchased it at HomeGoods, to use in one of the bathrooms, but it was too large. The metallic finish, didn’t fit the more rustic look I wanted. It was bugging me, so with time on my hands, I painted it! Supplies: Sample size of Little Lamb (grey) – $4.99 Sample size of Raw Silk (white) -$4.99 Painters tape, flat edge razor, paint brush (1 1/2″) and artist…
