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!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Ice and snow made for a great start today, but things got better. I had some odd customers at work, but also some very nice and that is what made today good. Any time that you can smile is good and I was able to do that quite often today. 
On my recent trip to the thrift store I bought this wooden apple container. It was too good to pass up and was only $2.80. The before looks a bit rough because of the tape and chipped paint but it was quick and easy to remedy. I painted the inside a pretty shade of green and then added a fun decorative design. The outside was painted in red but I cannot take the credit for the pattern. The flower and butterfly design was already there, I just accented it with the black paint. The only thing left to do is to paint on a glossy finish. This was a case of someones trash being turned into a cute treasure. I don't know what to use it for yet but who cares it looks nice sitting on my table.
