Thanks, Thanks, and ever Thanks

Most of the painted china is spoken for, I now have room to paint more, we'll have to make this an annual experience. Monday is the mailing day, so look for your china choices next week.


I finished a table topper this week, I enjoyed my fall table so much I decided I needed one for Christmas - who knows Spring may find me at the machine once again.

Here is the un-finished version, Log cabin blocks are so easy and you can do so much with them. This pattern calls for a bow and berries and also calls for hanging it on the wall however -----



I wanted it on the table, here it is 2 days later quilted and bound. Looks festive on my table, and adds to the little Christmas decorations I do.




This might be a better picture, but the darker one looks richer. Anyway a fun project to fill my retired days. Did I mention? I love being retired!!!!




One last picture, Jeamu, in her Christmas finery, I promised I would post her picture in her Christmas outfit, because she didn't get to wear her Halloween costume this year. I wonder how long she'll wear this dress???

HEADS UP!!!


Hello Family and Friends; I have often mentioned that I have too much painted china and I need to disperse some of it. I have listed many pieces and I hope you will browse the pictures and let me know which one(s) you want. If you don't choose, I will have to choose for you.
First one wins! So get busy and let me know what you want. Send me an e-mail with description, or post a comment, remember shipping is free!
This dish is not quite finished, it needs gold on the rim. it is about 4" square with holly and berries inside.



"Mini" cup and saucer with daffodils. 2008 found me painting all kinds of cups and saucers. Can you find a home for this?




"Mini" cup and saucer with poinsettias.






"Mini" cup and saucer with pink roses, I do have "rose days" once in a while.







Tray with Pansy's, I painted a lot of pansies lately, one of these days I'll get it right. Not a large tray about 6" across I think.


Butterflies inside this candy dish, with gold on the rim and luster all over.
3-4 inches across.

Pedestal box with pink-ish, I can't remember what color I used, roses on top. They are 3 dimensional roses glued on top. 3-4inches across, I didn't measure

Another Pedestal box, like the one above, but with pansies, I warned you.


Small box with blue bow, it's about 2" by 1&1/2, maybe good for rings or teeth, not not a tooth fairy box.





Heart shaped candy dish with pink wild roses in the bottom.



This little picture is about 4 inches tall, it has a little worm on the handle and lady bugs scattered among butterflies and cob webs.


An Easter Plate, 8 inches, I think. the bunny is praying, a fun gift with Easter goodies for a friend.

Right, I don't expect you to keep these forever, enjoy them and pass it on. Or throw them up against your own brick wall.



Clements and butterfly, the butterfly is a monarch the background is green, the flowers are light pink. Vase is about 8" tall.


This is a tray about 8 inches across, there is a snow scene on it and the poinsettias at the bottom, The snow scene is a small house among the trees, with a bridge across a stream can you see it yet? Where is your imagination??
