FINI!!!

Finished!  I truly can't believe it and I've vowed to NOT let the Studio become a "dumping ground" again!
 It went from this....

to this....

Here are some close-ups you might enjoy ~ organized and "neated up"....

bags, boxes, bubble wrap, and chemicals

stamps, inks, pens, paper wrap

seam binding, books, embellies

sewing center

ribbons, lace, and trims

collection of swaps and bling drawers

cutters, dies, chipboard, inks and stamps

inks and stuff

glitter centrtal!

my work station

more paper, boxes, bottles, jars, china 

So, I'm one happy girl!

But, I wasn't the only one busy at work last week....sweet Schotzie had a week's vacation and this little dynamo earned a new title ~ Queen of the Chalk Paint!"

She made her own chalk paint, which was okay, but she decided it wasn't worth it when compared to using Annie Sloan chalk paint.  Here's a peek at some of her work...The white is homemade and the grey is Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen.

this is her bed BEFORE

Here's the AFTER

and some more...

There was another console table, but I didn't get a pix of that.  What do you think?  Doesn't she deserve the crown?!!

If you're not familiar with chalk paint let me just say IT'S THE BOMB!!  No sanding or priming!  A side note....this little chest of drawers at my sewing station (picture #6) was also painted with the AS French Linen.


There's more to last week, especially last Saturday, but I'm saving that for next week's blog!

A quick shout-out to my upcoming show at Unique Boutique.  For those of you in town, an important note...the location has been changed from Gridley MS to SECRIST MS.  Here's some more info...

I hope your week was grand and that this new week ~ Happy October! ~ is even grander!!  Thank you so much for your visit and I hope to see you again next Monday.
