Thyme for another great Terrye French Design and Blessings Prim

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST

Sometimes we just need to count our blessings

Here is a piece I have painted

called

Blessings Prim

by

Terrye French

the design is cut from 3/4"wood

the edges are scalloped to

resemble a penney rug

even the little crow has a tiny penney

a

sweet design

I love the soft colors

thinking SPRING here!

look a this a pear tree

this was a fun design to paint

Thyme for a SPRING herb bunny

I've painted a SPRING thyme herb bunny

using

another great

Terrye French

Her body is wood

she has a skirt that I made from muslin

and painted

on the botton of her skirt I painted this sweet spring design

she has " jointed " wood body pieces

here she is showing

"some leg" LOL!
All her "body parts"
are wired together

I added some tiny heart buttons to the top of her

painted dress

she is holding an adorable litlle bunny box I've painted and filled

with sweet annie and lavender

I painted the word

SIMPLIFY

on her box

I added a small coffee stained tag

that says

herbs for sale

here she is holding her bunny box

She has the

SWEETEST

OF FACES

Oh My........!!!!!!

Her ears are made from muslin

I stiffened them using a mixture of

H2O and Elmers Glue

I added a coffee stained bow

made from cheesecloth

I then pinned on a rusty pin

her

"whiskers"

are rusty wire

and here she is all

"put together"

I always sign and date my pieces

on the back of her foot I painted a small carrot

then signed and dated her!

Isn't she "simply"

a breath of spring!!!!

Happy Painting!

Thyme to SIMPLIFY

Now that the holidays are over

I'm trying to

organize

 and

simplify

I know many of you are doing the same

I've painted this bunny on a

childs antique ironing board

              

the tag on her basket says

SIMPLIFY

such a sweet face she has

and 

look at all those darling little sheep

 and wreaths on the bottom of her dress

 This is a
Terrye French design
called
Simplify Bunny

Happy Painting!

Thyme for some SWEET little jewelry boxes

Here are some
SWEET

little boxes I've painted

these sheep are just too cute!

They are a 

Terrye French design

I didn't like the hinge on the larger box

so I took it off

drilled holes and

strung a ribbon thru for closure

These make wonderful hostess of keepsake boxes!

Happy Painting!

Hugs,
Lynn

Thyme for a little sweetness

Here are some

sweet

little heart boxes

I've painted

the heart boxes are painted an antique white

the flowers are painted in various

shades of periwinkle, lilac and purple

I added a periwinkle bow

I painted the insides periwinkle

and

painted a vine around the outside edges

I paint these every year

for

Valentines Day

They are nice to give as gifts

especially with jewelry inside!!!!

A few years ago I painted

75

of these for bridal shower favors!

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

Every thyme I think my to do list is getting shorter.............another item is added to it

I'm feeling rather BAH - Humbug today

I'll spare you all the details of how

what can go wrong will go wrong

but

yesterday was just one of those days......

Remember all the baking I did this weekend for gifts?

I put cookies in this beautiful tree jar

and 

wrapped them with a beautiful bow

for my aunt and uncle

well

My Mom and I set on on a bitter cold day

to deliver gifts

I had put the cookie jar in a box

just for travel

we made several stops including lunch

we got back in the car

and as I turned the car on I heard 2 very loud

POPS

My Mom and I looked at each other and said

"whats that?"

then we heard

SHATTERING GLASS

THE COOKIE JAR COMPLETELY SHATTERED

I don't know if it was the cold or what

I just wanted to cry

sooooooooo

I owe my aunt & uncle

more cookies after

Christmas

I came home to my kitchen counter looking like this

remember the

SANTA
hats I made for the backs of my chairs?

I was able to put the greens I wanted in them

it remains to be seen if I get to do the little gifts for each guest I had wanted to do...

I LOVE how they look

this is a beautiful arrangement that

Nancy

at

Country Plus

made for me

Nancy also did the brush trees on my table by the window

the Buyers Choice

Mr. and Mrs. Claus

were my mother- in -laws

I found them in a box at her house

she had never even opened the box and used them

also on the table with

Mr. and Mrs. Claus

of course

are the reinder

waiting for

the

BIG NIGHT

the

BEAUTIFUL

POINTSETTA

you also see on the table

my dear husband brought home!!!

and so..........

after what seemed like a day

of

what can go wrong

ALL IS CALM

AND

ALL IS BRIGHT

HERE

Hugs,

Lynn
