Now to each and all you are invited to a some fun in the country, remember that little place I call a treasure in the county...Marta's Room yeap on FM 439

Marta is planning a little fun, a Holiday Open House!!!!! So if you are wanting to find some pretty's, some vintage,some treasures....we hope to see you  on  December 8th- this Saturday, from 10-6 at Marta's Room located on FM 439. This road is between Belton and Killeen ... speaking of Belton you need to make a plan to shop Market Days, this Saturday the 8th. Also a Parade to celebrate the holidays will occur in Belton...so a little fun in the city of Belton. So for a fun day you are invited to Downtown Belton for Market Days, and to see a Parade to Celebrate the Holidays...and then stop by 6th Street Antiques, to check out what Mark and Lori are up to. A new shop full of fun and funky junk...then head out to Marta's Room on FM 439. Plus Blora is open for evening lights. Yeap lots to see, so all vintage, antique and a  little  junk ...we invite you.

So I did say Burlap Love, yes again. I have made another Miss Mustard Seed inspired ruffled tree skirt. I did this with two tones...I really like the light and dark. Need to trim the fray's (got to love burlap) Hair spray helps, the sticky slows down the fraying. 

Do you ever look at crochet work, and think of the talented hands that created these detailed beauties...This one has the addition of a few of the talents of my grandmother. Grandma Hazel was a very talented and I will always remember her as fun and feisty. 

Fun playing with music sheets, bits and pieces.  Modpodge and some craft paint. So I took some sorry ornaments, you know the ones that get little holes, or loose their hanging piece...so I took some music sheet bits and pieces, some burlap and played...my finger nails will never be pretty. But the world will have some pretties...for holiday...

So do you see the star, OK use your imagination it represents a star. I found these springs...and looped them together...and sprayed a little glitter on them. 

Yeap this is a Burlap,Music sheets heavy post... I made a Oval music sheet wreath, my last wreaths all sold, the star I made sold..ect...so had to replace...and these little pumpkins are really cute, and I think holiday in silver and beads...only 12.oo so why have they not sold...

So do you like my latest old dress form remake, I think she is kinda cute. A little skirt of Burlap, reminds me a touch of a Ice Skater..some vintage crochet,cupcake roses,pearl pins,Graphic Fairy images,music sheets and lots of Mod podge then some hot glue...a few()&*%^*( my burnt fingers and then make it look like a snowy day and you have a little piece for your Boudoir



Hope you like some of my latest fun stuff, Do you want to come and help me clean my garage, closet and back room of all my unfinished projects...So are you in the same predicament....to many projects and not enough hours.

Yes this is the start. I was a broken up body form, so I found a old floor lamp and a-fixed it to the form and used tape, that good stuff  for fiber glass. So now you know how I started out...not so pretty

Really not pretty, so what have you been up to lately and I want to show you what 

we did over Thanksgiving.....
