I loved the shape of the lamp at a garage sale and saw potential beyond the stark white base and shade.
After playing around with 4 colors of spray paint on the base and tea staining the shade, I have an awesome “new” lamp!

I’ve subscribed to this amazing artists blog for quite a while now. I finally got around to reading my RSS feeds and saw that Lynn was having a giveaway to celebrate her blogaversary.

I finally had a chance to pull my photos from Saturday off the camera! I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share some of the wonderful animals we saw at the MN Zoo.
Turtle…Tortoise..not really sure which. Magnificent creatures though.
If I didn’t get such a kick out of this photo, I’d never post it since it’s blurry but…I can’t help it! The kids pointing at the fish and it’s silly face just crack me up!
This coyote was very kind to strike a pose for me.
Our little girl is peering into a fun interactive exhibit.
There are several types of sharks and stingrays swimming around in a small pool. You are welcome to reach in and give them a pet.
I learned that a stingray feels like solid jelly and a shark feels a bit rough like sandpaper. Very cool!
Flamingos are our neighborhood symbol for “The party is here!”I couldn’t help myself, I had to take a photo.
This month the UHU design team members were all sent a mini clipboard to decorate.
What do you think?
Check out the materials list and tutorial in the UHU blog.
Elizabeth put forth a challenge on ABC in response to a post about reducing waste while still creating art. She challenged us to create 2 pieces of art using junk mail and scraps only.
I dug in the recycle bin and pulled out a toaster waffle box and some junk mail for this piece. I hoping to make another over the weekend. Although it’s supposed to be BEAUTIFUL this weekend so I don’t know if I’ll be spending much time indoors.
I’m sad…I only had on person even ventured a guess at what the heck I’m making.
Ok…I’m over it. Comments and questions are always appreciated though!
I’m in the painstaking process of making another quilt like this.
The one I’m working on will be a little larger than the first… YIKES! That one was quite a challenge to sew at the end stages for me.
Each circle is drawn around a kids plastic plate then hand cut with a scissors. Then the sewing lines have to be drawn on with a template. Please if anyone knows a speeder technique, let me know!!
I’ll need to start cutting all the fabric squares to place in the Cathedral windows shortly. This is what I believe to be a variation of the Cathedral window quilt pattern. What I like about it is that it finishes both sides at the same time!!
