Dora Stool Transformed into Owl Stool!

Hoooooot, Hoooooot to you on this Friday evening, When my grandson, Alan, was born in December of 2012, my daughter and son-in-law did his nursery with beautiful white drapes with cute and dainty owls on them....very simple...elegant black and white.....just beautiful! Alan, now, whom is almost 3 years old, still loves owls! They are in the potty training stage with him, and is having good progress with him. But, as most little boys, he wants to use the big potty like his Daddy....and to be able to stand and wash his hands by himself. So, when my daughter found a cute Dora stepping stool at a local thrift store she purchased it and brought it to me to transform for my "little man"!

Mermaid Longing! New Art!

Happy Thursday Everyone, So, week before last, I was a painting fool....4 canvases, 6 wooden signs! I had a cramp in my hand I had done so much painting, but, then I had an idea about a new large canvas.

A Whole Week of Art!

Good morning everyone... Wow, last week I stayed busy.....signs, paintings....I just had to paint! I had seen several signs I had wanted to paint myself and had some ideas for some small 7x7 canvases I had, so I painted away. To be truthful, when I have a lot on my mind or things are bothering me, this is my outlet. So, with out further adieu here are the signs I painted: I particularly love the Exercise sign....lol....now onto the canvases....from flamingos to a painting that one of my friends says looks like Dana Bash on CNN...... So, as you can see, I was a painting fool last week! Nothing really special, but, I had a lot of fun working on each one. I hope you enjoy them! Blessings, Deborah
