It’s doing it again!
Overnight we had a ton of snow followed by icy sleet. Lovely.
I had 2 snow days.
I had a lot of admin to work on, and also got a chance to finish off some projects.
I’ve got my new year decor done with a nod to Valentine’s Day.
I love putting Christmas decorations up, with the exception of the tree which I hate doing. But I am SO ready to take it down again and this year the snowy weather gave me the chance to stay home and get it all done on New Years Day.
I am particularly smitten with my mantle. It came together pretty nicely and a new addition is a beautiful “friendship ball” from my cousin Debbie in England.
I got a few hours down in my workshop and got some new pieces started, and actually finished.
This would certainly fall into the “Secret Garden” category.
This is a container thingie I found in my thrifting rounds. It was just an empty cylinder when I started and it’s now taken on a life of its own. It’s marked The Bombay Company and I have searched online to see what it might have been but to no avail. Never mind what it USED to be I’m quite taken with it in it’s current iteration.
A couple of old frames found new life too:
I was pleased with how this shadow box came out. I was watching “All Eyez on Me” (the Tupac story) while I was making this so I am kind of surprised how zen it turned out, considering the ambiance at the time.
I haven’t decided where they’re going yet – I am running out of wall space. But since the weather is so disgusting again today I am about to go and finish off a couple of other bits and bobs.
