productive weekend

i spent the better part of yesterday working on a new abstract mosaic piece.  i recruited my husband's help to fish through stacks of magazines looking for colors of orange & blue to make up my newest creation which i call "Sunset over Ocean Waters".

i also finished up a couple hats i'd been working on.  of course i found out the other day that they're discontinuing carrying several of my favorite yarns. *Sigh*  so i guess this means i need to find a new favorite.

the eratic weather here in Texas goes from 35 degrees as the high one day and 75 degrees for the high the next.  Saturday was a beautiful day, so pretty that we took a break from our tedious work and took the kids to the park.

and now that i've gotten new items listed on etsy, photos uploaded to flickr & a new blog post written, i now need to go tackle folding the laundry and making sub sandwhiches for our Super Bowl party that starts in about 2 1/2 hrs.  just call me wonderwoman!  =D  =P

new listings

Are you an art fan?  Like things that are different and unique.  Check out my newest listings on etsy....

Made using a 1/2" x 6" x 24" pine board, painted and then the images (recycled from magazines, etc) were decoupaged on with several coats of Mod Podge, and then 3 coats of polyurethane to seal it all.  These were my babies this week as it took about 5 days to paint, decoupage and seal all three pieces.  I almost like them too much to sell them!  =)

The idea came to me after my mother-in-law gave me a stack of magazines that i knew i'd never read but the covers had such vibrant pretty colors i couldn't just throw them away.  And then the idea hit me...make a piece of art with them....so i did. =)  

I hope to have more adult sized hats & matching scarves listed later this week!  Leave me comments and give me your feedback! =)
