What 'cha Workin' on Wednesday?????

These are some oldies but goodies that I have been working on:

These little "Frosty" hat ornies are actually from a pattern by Country Whims.  They actually make theirs much more prim than I do, but the shape is the same.  I add the little tag and some snow tex paint as well.  These were a great seller for me last year, so I am making more. 

These little prim snowmen is another great seller for me:

They are a great way to use up scraps as well.  The noses are made out of "lumpy" chenille stems that I cut apart and paint with Canyon Orange paint.  I sell hundreds of ornies every year, so I am going to have to work hard to get more done.
 
And finally, I threw this wreath together out of things that I had on hand.



 
I will add some lights before I display it at a show, but it is easier to store without the lights.  What do you think???

Ornies, snow, flowers

Here it is the day after Mother's Day and its back to work, old girl.  Here in Colorado, springtime is a season of unpredictable weather.  We live in the foothills at about 9000 ft elevation southwest of Denver.  This is what our Mother's Day looked like:
So it was a good thing I received Springtime flowers so I could keep my mind focused on warmer, sunnier weather.



Tulips and irises......how pretty!

Now, back to bragging a bit more about my garage sale finds.  I bought two bags of ornaments at $.50 each.  One bag had six faceted ornies, plain, still in the package.  I embellished a little and got this:
 I also had some little drums that I embellished as well.  See what a bit of ribbon and some greenery will do?

Time to get busy, my friends.  Here is hope for warmth and sunshine tomorrow!
