Still Here
I’m sorry for being so absent lately. My classes have ben eating up my time lately. I had two weeks of midterms for one class and finals and term papers in two others. I’m down to one class now, so I have a little more time on my hands, but the holidays are now bearing down on me. So much to do!
Even with all the chaos, I managed to finish this bookcase that I started in September.
I bought this bookcase at a thrift shop for $10. It was coming apart at the corners and had been badly stained, but the wood was solid and would be great with a little TLC.
I took the back off and set to work sanding and cleaning it up.
Here you can see the bad stain job on the backing.
With a little Gorilla Glue and some clamps I got the corners back to stable and it no longer wiggles from side to side.
A little more sanding after the glue set and it was ready for paint.
Ta Da!
I used plain semi-gloss white Valspar paint, two coats. I covered the back in a layer of batting and red and white fabric from my stash. It matches my fabric bucket that I made last spring. :)
I still love red and white. This shelf is going in my studio for some badly needed storage space!
Spa Gift Collection
Who doesn’t need a little relaxation during the holidays? Made a collection last night… Spa in a Basket. Check out these great handmade soaps, scrubbies, powders, and more!
Wash away the hustle and bustle, have a luxurious and relaxing holiday season with this collection of bath and body items. Buy them all and wrap them up in the beautiful basket.
Honey, are you listening? :)

Boobie Hat For Charity
I just finished up a Boobie Hat for Regrety’s Alchemy Fund Raiser, Holiday Regrets.
Over the years Regretsy and participating artisans have raised over $25,000.00 for charity, and I’m happy to be able to contribute something this year. I’m also donating the shipping costs, so that the full amount, less etsy fees, can be contributed to the Alchemy Fund.
The Holiday Regrets Etsy Shop open and stocking daily until December 15th. The shop will be open for purchases until the end of the year. All proceeds go to charitable organizations. If you are interested in contributing something to the shop, contact information can be found on the Holiday Regrets Facebook info page.
Happy Holidays.

Get it in Washington
There are some really wonderful artisans in Washington State. I put this little collection together…
Get it in Washington to showcase some of our local talent. :)

If you are starting to shop for the holidays, consider shopping on Artfire. They are launching their Shop Local feature soon to make it easier to find local artisans very soon.
