My little helper


 I am having a wonderful vacation so far! We have my niece here for a visit for a few days, and I thought it would be a lot of fun for her to make her very own tea party set! She's 2 and a half and she loves tea parties! What little girl (or big girl) don't! :-) So I got her all of her own supplies.
 
She just couldn't wait to get started!!
 
 
She picked all her colors and did everything herself! When she was done, she just had to add Pixie dust... which you may call glitter paint... :-)
 
 
The set is adorable! However, it's in the oven right now, so I can't share the finished project... but, when its done, I will definitely include the photo next time! We had so much fun! She even hums while she paints! Cutest thing ever!! I may have to hire her soon...

Summer Vacation

  I am finally on summer vacation!! Well, I work summer school, but still... I get two weeks off, and I'm thrilled about that! I have some big plans for the next two weeks! Lets see if I can accomplish at least half of them...

  I have just a couple orders to fill from my Etsy shop, those are almost done... hopefully I get more soon :-) I am also working on a couple new designs... a nautical themed glass and a peacock feather glass. I have made a peacock one in the past but I'm changing my design a bit...

  It's so hard sometimes to come up with new ideas, and I want to keep expanding my shop! So I have had a thought... upcycling! I see a lot of cool ideas around, and I though... I can do that! Every two weeks I participate in an online auction and that's where I find a lot of my vintage treasures. And, sometime I get lot boxes that... to be honest, are not what I expect. So, I had the thought to try some upcycling.. maybe start with some jewelry trays, snack plates, dessert stands... I don't know.. I guess Ill see where it takes me :-) Stay tuned!!
