Owen's Art Display

Well, I fixed the clock and made an art display for my sweet boy's paintings. This took a little bit longer than expected (2 1/2 hours) to cut and fit the paintings and drawings.

From Start....

....To Finished!

That makes two projects from my 2012 Creative Overdrive List that are finished. Only 10 to go!

Fix it or Trash it: Project #3

Okay, I can't tell you how many I've crammed this hat from box to box. 7 + years. Somewhere around that amount of time, anyhow. I purchased it at a yard sale (as usual), with the intentions of "fixing it" (again, as usual). 

This was a project on my 2012: Creative Overdrive is On list to be done. Here's what it looked like in the beginning and then, my finished product:

Plain Old BORING Sunhat

FABULOUS Dark Blue Sunhat with White Pearls

Much better, I think! I feel like Miss Daisy in it! You think Andy will chauffeur me around?!?! Yeah, I know....my imagination gets carried away with me on a regular basis! 

2012: Creative Overdrive is On!

I've decided to set some creative goals for myself this year. I always tend to put off creative accomplishments. It's time to kick "it" in gear. Me being "it". I've got tons of unfinished projects waiting on me!!! They've been waiting for a while... I've got a whole year to finish these. 

Here goes:

• "Fix it or trash it" hat project (dyed, just needs pizzazz) 1/7/12
• Hannah's Headbands (pink and purple)
• Owl Purse
• Finish off-white Summer dress with brown, green and pink (dress almost sewn; need to add pizzazz)
• Bandanna Dress
• Finish at least 10 Welding Caps (patterns cut) 2015 I started a business  January 2015.
• Use the awesome red/yellow fabric that I picked up at Wal-Mart in Salisbury over the holidays (50's style dress?)
• Finish Ceramic Bowl (painted black; needs pattern painted and decoupage) 2/3/12 
  
• Finish Bird Bath (painted; needs to be grinded and attached) 3/23/15 
• Learn to knit (have the knitting needles; JUST NEED TO READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!!) 2013 (can't remember when but I did it & didn't like it)
• Upcycle broken Clock 1/14/12
• Find a creative use for all the CDs I need to get rid of!!!!

Wow, that's not so much! Only 12 things on my list, so that means, I could average one thing a month and be finished! 

I CAN DO THIS!

Time to get started! Wish me luck :)
