A Little Setback? ..

Hello my dear friends,

we all have these I am sure when we are creating ... little setbacks!

Right now I am having one of those with the large bottle brush trees I bought last week. I used one of my afternoons to bleach some more little bottle brush trees and thought I might as well start with the large ones too and to my dismay ... they won't bleach!!!! I had one tree sitting in my bleach solution for almost an hour and ... nothing happened whilst all my other trees now are a lovely cream color! It didn't even go a tiny shade lighter in color. So now I am thinking what I could do to give the tree a different look. I am not sure if I should spray paint it off-white or maybe just cover it in lots and lots of glitter ... I really don't know right now. I am just wondering ... is it a setback or just a new little challenge for me to figure out? Right now I am still working on the answer to that but I will let you know once I have found out.

 

To give you a little update on our basement project ... we are hoping that everything that our contractor will be finished on Dec 6th ~ fingers crossed! (to tell you the truth I can't see it happening as of right now)

 

Otherwise I am very busy. I seem to have several ideas that are floating around in my head and I am actualy taking the time to create them! I will be sharing them with you very soon.

 

 

 

  Just a little photo to share with you that I took a few days ago.

A few tiny pine cones, a bit of fir tree and a vintage old tart tin ~ a little Christmas delight.

 

And finally ... 

 

 

I am still working on my Christmas cards for the swap with Jillayne and I am very close to completing them now so I thought I would share a little part of them with you today again.

I have been busy in my studio and already have a few new creations lined up to share with you so why not stop by and take a look again soon.


I hope you are well and life is treating you kind my dear friends.

Have a peaceful and creative day,


Karen B.
