All She Needed Was a "little facelift"

Image
My sister had given me a very old mirror several months ago....it is surrounded by vintage" needlepoint work.   Just beautiful work. So I painted the frame with bright colors, and used my Cricut machine to apply some curly designs.....and she is so Bright and Cheery now. I just love the way she turned out. She is for sale, and if interested, please let me know and I will send you all the details. AND, remember......I'm doing a Give A Way..........as soon as my Facebook Page reaches 100 Likes. Have a great day....Blessings, Deborah

Just a little something.....

Image
I worked on and finished this weekend. I had a small plain wooden table my sister had given me. So I painted it black.....decoupaged the top in a pretty black and white scrap paper print I had. Decoupaged a pretty pink paper on the bottom....painted some designs on the sides. It is nothing fancy, but I had fun doing it.  I hope to post some more later today, but have some errands to do this morning. See ya'll later. Blessings, Deborah

Saturday...with my Daddy

Good Saturday morning everyone.....it is "right chilly" here in rural South Georgia.....I keep forgetting it is Winter. These beautiful warm days we have been having has FOOLED everyone. But, today, I get to do something I love....spend time with my Daddy. He is suffering from a horrible brain disease called Pic's Disease. He still knows who we all are, but that strong, smart, brilliant lawyer of my youth is fading. So, to give my mother and my other sister time to get out and breath, my other sister and I are taking care of Daddy this morning. So, no crafting today....just nothing but Lot's of Love and Smiles with my Daddy. Blessings to each of you and DON'T FORGET MY GIVEAWAY.....check out my Facebook Page.   Deborah

NEW!! HANDPAINTED WINE GLASSES FOR THE DIVA IN YOU!!

Image
Instant Diva...add Wine! Hello All You Diva's out there! You all know I paint wine glasses...usually with women faces on them. So, I wanted to try something new.....painting funny sayings on them. So, I sat down  and wrote down some of my favorite sayings. I have made several, and they are okay. I still have alot to learn, and actually painting the words on them is harder for me because of the nerve damage in my neck. And trying to keep my hands from shaking is harder when doing broader strokes doing the faces. So, with that said... I present the first in the line I call " DIVA GLASSES". Sorry about the photo...thought I had gotten all of the glass in the picture. Will try and get a better one later this afternoon.  All wine glassess are handwash only, and have been sprayed with special glass sealant. Hope you enjoy....Blessings, Deborah

Good morning again ladies....ok, I've showed y'all a couple pictures of the "green eyed gals"....but, I wanted to share a picture of my very first attempt at painting the wine glasses...and the "Blue eyed Babes"...who are Ms. Lucy's "sassy cousins". If you haven't met Ms. Lucy...scroll down a meet her....she LOVES FELLOW SASSY WOMEN!!! So, here are the first two babes...the blond was inspired by my sister Kathy and the red head is ME, of course. Hopefully will have more pics this afternoon. Blessings, Deborah

TODAY...is my son's birthday!!

Today is a very special day to me. 21 years ago, my only son was born. All of you that are parents know how special ALL of our children are...but those of us that have a son, know that bond that exists between a mother and her son. He wasn't planned...he wasn't even on my radar due to health problems..but there he came...21 years ago. All 9lbs 13 ounces of him..22 inches long...and my heart melted again. And now he is a father himself...yes, way to young...but oh how he loves his daughter....he worships her...and she him. He has brought so much happiness into my life over these years, and been the best son ever.  Will be going to see him and that beautiful grand baby this weekend to celebrate. So, no crafts today...just lots of love. So, to all  you parents out there today...LOVE YOUR CHILDREN. Blessings, Deborah

Something Stunning Blue...for a Blue Winter's Day!

Image
Happy Hump Day everyone....today started with a Big Hump for me today. I awoke thinking today was tomorrow!! Have you ever done that? That something was supposed to be happening on a certain day, and you either a day late or a day early?? Well, I thought today was the 16th!!! My son's 21st birthday!!! And posted all sort of sweet things about him on my facebook page....cute pics of him...etc. Until he called me just laughing and said Mom...you are a day early!!!!! We both got a good laugh out it....he always me me smile. So, as I was thinking of him today and his upcoming birthday TOMORROW....I thought of his beautiful blue eyes and a stunning necklace I had made last week. Most of the jewelry I make is made from vintage beads or made with vintage mixed with new. So, here is the necklace...hope you like it as much as I do. Blessings, Deborah Stunning!!! This is made with faux 40 year old opaque aquamarine oval stones....vintage round topaz stones with turquoise nuggets. If

LOVE......such a wonderful thing!!

I've been a "bad, bad' girl..I haven't blogged for several days now. First, on Sunday night I spent the night at one of my "little sisters" houses.....Kathy...and we had a "watch the Grammy's-watch The Walking Dead" season premiere. Yes, I love the ZOMBIES...and Rick and Shane aren't to bad themselves!! And yesterday, I just kinda spent the day doing nothing....reading a good book. So, today I wanted to talk about Love, since it is Valentines day....you know, there are so many types of love. The love a parent has for a child....the love a spouse has for a spouse.....the love a friend has for a friend.....and the love we get unconditionally from our pets. How IT makes us feel....how we feel when we aren't around our love....so many things can be said about LOVE. But, today I wanted to talk about children and grandchildren. I have three wonderful and oh so different children. Brooke, the oldest is my "child of the fairy folk"..

Introducing..."Miss Lucy"....my alter ego!!

Image
Good Sunday Morning to everyone. It is rather cold down here in rural South Georgia with a crisp blue sky above. I have a big, beautiful and warm fire going in the wood stove....yes, I heat my house with an ole fashioned wood stove!! And I love it!!! There is something about going back to how it use to be. Anyway, I wanted to introduce yall to "Miss Lucy". But, first let me explain her to you. First off, WAY BACK WHEN in the "ole high school days", I weighed 125 pounds!! But, at age 56, 3 children later, and being only 5' 2" tall....Yes, I'm a "little stump" or as we say in our family...A troll!! You see, my ancestors came from Germany...at least that's what our Daddy always told us!! But, as well all joke...."he just didn't tell us that they were the trolls that  lived under the bridge"!!! (They really did come from Germany...Munich actually) So, with that said, I realized along time ago, I would NEVER be that 125lbs youn

Good Saturday afternoon everyone!! Wow, I already have to followers...YEA!! And thanks to both of them. Well, I have to confess that yesterday wasn't my best day. On top of everything, my fibromyalgia was "kicking my butt" and I so wanted to start on the blog. Well, I have it started and am going to be working on it some more. I feel much better today and am working on two more NEW wine glass designs. By the way, for all the "non drinkers" out there...the glasses work just fine with "good ole fashioned sweet tea" or any other beverage. So, today after "cooking the glasses" they have to set for awhile, which means I'm going to take it easy the rest of the day. I, again invite you to visit my Face Book page which is listed on my profile and look at my "wares". I'm going to leave you with a pic of  another one of the "green eyed gals". So, Blessings to you all, Deborah "Miss Diva"

Wow! I have a new blog and I'm so excited to be visiting with you today. Please take the time to read my profile and you will find out a little more about me...but, I'm Three Dawg Lady Designs, but you can call me Deborah. Yes...Yes.... I do have 3 dogs, or as we say in Georgia "DAWGS"! I hope to have new pics of them soon so I can introduce them to you.  So, on my profile I wrote that I was a Crafter by Design. Let me explain. For years I was in the medical field as a Registered Medical Assistant, and loved it! Then I started working with people in recovery, and folks in recovery usually drink alot of coffee...Java....the Nectar of the Gods!! I LOVE THE STUFF!!! My addiction...lol. So, in 1996 I had the opportunity to buy a coffee shop on St. Simons Island which is located on the coast of South Georgia. It was called Sugarbabies and was a GREAT PLACE. But atlas, I closed it in 2000 as the rent on the building was just getting to high for me to pay. I missed it terri
