practice


"Practice is the best of all instructors." ~ Publilius Syrus

That quote is so true. I get a wee bit better and learn something new each time I practice. Here are some of my latest pieces. You might recognize the one in the upper left corner. It was one of the first pieces I made about a year ago (photo here). Like my bathroom (see last blog post), I decided it needed a revamp {smile}. 


Here's to enjoying your practice!

bathroom revamp

It took longer than I expected, due to some unforeseen life events, but the bathroom is now redone and I'm loving it! The shower curtain is the star attraction and drove all the decorating decisions. What eye candy that curtain is! It's one of Megan Aroon Duncan's artworks put on a shower curtain by DENY Designs. Don't you just love Megan's work?! Here are the before and after photos: 



I'd planned to revamp the spare bedroom next, but hubby mentioned he might be up for doing the kitchen, which we've dreamed about since moving here 14 years ago, so I'm seizing that opportunity! Look for kitchen photos yet this year (and hopefully some crafting photos in the interim).

Hello, visitors & followers! I hope you're all happy and healthy & 2012 is getting off to a grand start for you! I'm still alive and doing great - just haven't created anything lately so haven't had anything to share with you. I did start some new pendants last weekend, but decided a smaller soldering tip is needed so am waiting for that to arrive. In the meantime, I'm planning a bathroom remodel. I haven't made any improvements on the home-front for a few years and with both hubby & I starting new jobs recently, now feels like the right time. Decorating is a form of expressing creativity, so it's all good, right? Yes [grinI'll try to remember to take before & after pictures to share with you. 

While my life has been full and great, I do miss blogging (both sharing here and visiting many of you on your blogs), and am working on ways to fit it back into my life. 

Believe,
