When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive. I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff. There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings. Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting. I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah! Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind. Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday. It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once. This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages. There are two finished so only ten to go!
This is the finished chair for the Parrot head auction in March. Typically any where from 225.00 - 350.00 is raised from the auction for the chairs that I paint. It is a great way to use my talents to help others without a monetary donation because I am not always able to give money. I generally don't have much extra after the bills are paid but doing this makes me feel good and gives others enjoyment. Here are a few views of the chair. Here you can see the gecko design that inspired my painting. The places listed on the seat are either in Jimmy Buffett songs or locations that are associated with him and his music. St. Minnesomeplace is the Minnesota club that I do all of my painting for. The website with more information about the club and the causes it supports is: st-minnesomeplace.com.
