"Take the Tractor Another round, Another Round"

Yes, I have spent the last week or so taking the tractor another round or two or three...

so many rounds, I lost count.

We were short on hay crew workers.....(my 3 boys) so I had to fill in.

Very boring....very monotonous!

My oldest son was stacking while I baled on this field....least I had company!

But today, It rained in the afternoon and we are out of the hay business for a few days!

Flocking to America

This Vintage Kerosene Can has some character with it's dents and dings, but looks so cute with the prim sheep "Flocking to America" in their own parade.

This wonderful design comes from Kathryn Wrona who also has her own Etsy shop called CoveredBridgePrim

She has some beautiful things to offer.

Be sure to check it out!

I met Kathryn through Etsy when she saw another design of hers I had painted for my winter shows last year listed in my Etsy shop.

Kathryn was so kind to send me a copy of the "Flocking to America" pattern that was published in the August 2004 Create & Decorate magazine

I just love the little sheep!

Before and Afters

First let me show you the Patriotic minnow bucket I finished.

This is a variation of a DJ Williams design.

It has a few dents and dings!

The wording around the top is America...America God shed his grace on thee.

It has a 20 strand of battery operated LED lights inside to make it glow as lantern.

I will be listing this in my etsy shop today.

Here is the other chair that I needed to paint with turquoise, blue and green flowers.

Not as happy with the way this one turned out.

Hope my customer likes it, she is picking everything up today.

This is another custom order from same customer.

She wanted me to paint this for her grand daughter, Dagny.

Isn't that a cute name?

These are variations of Laurie Speltz designs.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Must get back to painting!!!!!

A 'Nit Pickin' Thing.....

Do you know those little "Nit Pickin" projects that you have every intention of doing, but never seem to get around to getting them done?

Well, I finally finished one of them ...I needed to freshen up the white paint and change the web address to my etsy shop on the wagon out by the road.

Looks much better now.

So while I was out snapping pictures, I came across some lovely flowers to show you.

My Iris are finally blooming!

Columbines

And, last Friday I made a quick trip to my favorite antique dealer in Cheyenne, Wyoming and came home with a real gem.......

Here is the top of it.....

I cut the top tier shelf out and put in a potter with wave petunias...soon they will be pouring out of it.

I say that with such confidence!

More Lovely flowers!

And......TA DA.....

Check out this huge pigeon coop bird house.

I am not sure this is the location for this wonderful specimen of "old and chippy", but I have all summer to decide.

Have a wonderful day~
