Blast From The Past Frame!

I always look forward to my turn on the Pinque Peacock Blog and plan out my project, but it doesn't always work out!  I have several projects always going at once as I'm sure all crafters do, but the last month or so they're not turning out like I envisioned them in my head!

So after my project for today's blog post was a bust, I did another quick project so as not to let our awesome followers down (or you may be let down when you see it)!

So here is my quick and easy frame.  I used a Burlap Fabric Splendid Swirl and a 3/4 inch Fabric Covered Button that ca be found at the Pinque Peacock Shop.

 The photo is of my son back in 1979 making his silly face, he was 2.

Hopefully the projects I'm still working on will turn out better than the last few!  I've been trying to be more creative and use different mediums, but I guess it just takes some practice.  I always expect to be good at everything and be able to just jump right in without practice, but it's just not the case!!  So I've been experimenting and seeing what works out best for me and have a big mess everywhere (shocking I know).  If it was all neat and tidy then I wouldn't be trying right?

So I am hoping to be posting a few new projects in the next few weeks if all goes well.

We are about to finish up some outside projects on the house and the biggie is painting.  UGH, I hate painting!!  The guys did build a new garage door and it looks so nice and will look better once it's painted.  But the outside is looking good or better anyways.  I do need to power wash yet, but have to borrow it from my wonderful brother.

So have a great rest of the week!

Framed Art!

I love it when it's my turn to post on the Pinque Peacock Blog!  I haven't had time lately to do much in my craft room, but I know that when it's my turn to post that I get to play!  hehehe

I made this Angel Wings canvas in June for my last Pinquette post, but wasn't sure what to do with it when I got it done.  A couple years ago my hubby made me 3 different frames using chicken wire and 2 of them were hanging on the wall in the hallway with nothing in them.  Not thrilled with the one that I do have stuff in, so I am going to undo it and now I have an idea on what to do for all 3.

This is the 1 frame that I did this morning and will be working on the other 2 now.  This is one of the end ones, the one in the middle is the biggest.

I put a picture hanger on the back of the canvas and used the fabric splendid swirl and beaded stick pin on the left corner and the layered garden beauty in the right corner.  I do love these frames, gotta love Pinterest!!  lol

I just love these soft rose fabric splendid swirls, I've used them on quite a few projects!  The beaded stick pin is gorgeous too!!

This is an odd angle, but was having issued taking the photos.  The layered garden beauty is so pretty and is also in the soft rose pattern.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and come back often to see the other 2 frames when they're done!  I know me well enough to know that things may also get added to this one once ideas get flowing!
