a little break from the break...

Last week I took a little "break" from my Break...I had told two girls a while ago that I would do a little painting for them...so I decided to do it now...This one was for the Travis Family...their little girl is getting her big girl room because she has a new baby sister on the way!
And this was for the Hill Family! It is very similar to the dresser I did a while back for the Tedesco's! I have had more people request something similar to that design than any other design! It was a fun blue color with harlequin sides and a fun floral/damask-ish top with lots of fun gold accents! I hope both families are enjoying their new furniture!

a little break..

I painted this little table (and another one that looks just like it) last week...I LOVE these tables! They were fun to paint...and I think they turned out really fun!
These were my last projects for a while! I am so blessed to have lots of business this year...But I really need to take a little time off to focus on my family!! I am already taking orders and booking jobs for April...but for now I am spending some fun time with these little cuties!!!

a few projects I have been working on...

I have been super busy lately filling stationery orders and painting.. here are just a few things that I have been working on lately!This little table sits in our entry way next to the "glue gun chair" ...we were iced in for a few days last week and I think I just got bored looking at the same stuff in the house for 3 days straight and I started painting!!! I need to still work on it a little bit...

A fun tray that I painted for my friend Leah!
A fun tray for that I painted for the Tee for the Soul sale last weekend!
I painted this little shelf for Jack's little friend Olivia! We love her so much! It has a little verse painted over the top window...so sweet!

I painted these little boxes for a sweet girl who heard about me from a friend!

Each side was a different pattern so here is another look....

These are a little out of order...I painted this chair for my friend Mandi...there will be a few more pics later! She has a darling little girl and their last name starts with a W so we did a little crown with a W on it!

I painted this little pillow for the Tee for the Soul sale too!

Jan Russell was the winner of the give away that I did a few months ago!!! and I just got it to her today! We went to Tulsa to see her...I didn't want to post it until she got to see it in person....her grandkids call her Nan so I did Nan in the center and all her grandkids around the edge!

This is a dresser that I painted for the Campbell family! They are expecting baby number 3 soon, a sweet little boy named Jett! His room is going to be done in a vintage airplane theme! so cute!! I did his little initials on the front....I know these initial are very special to this family and wanted to make it personal for them!

This is a little frame that I made for the boys bathroom...hard to see...but it says "buddies" on it! They are best buddies!!!

Here is the other pic of Mandi's high chair!

Some fun little frames that I painted for the TFTS sale....

another bowl that I painted similar to the one I did for Jan...another item for the sale last weekend!

I just painted this table last week for my friend Brittany Martin.

Brittany and I have been friends since we were little bitty girls! We met through dance at Kim Massey and have stayed in touch ever since!

She has two darling little girls and this is their Christmas gift...Brittany looked for lots of pictures of colors and ideas and sent me what she liked....

that always makes things so much easier!!!

Each chair had a different design with M's in different fonts....

The top was my favorite!

I hope Ellis and Audrey are lovin' their new table!

Whitlock's tray

My dear friend Bobbi just redecorated her whole house...it looks so cute!!! I helped her make some curtains and pillows and then I painted a few things for her too! This is a big tray for her to sit on her ottoman to make it more like a coffee table. We did a big W in the middle for their last name and then a verse around the edge...As for me and my house we will serve the Lord! Her fabric in the living room was a paisley pattern with lots of fun rich colors...so that is what we did all over the tray!

another table...

These little table and chairs are one of my favorite things to paint! This one belongs to the Duke Family! They have two of the cutest little girls! The circle with a "D" in the center has a little gold crown off the the left of it! That was Leah's idea and I loved the way that it turned out! I hope you sweet girls are enjoying your new table!! (i know jack and sammy enjoyed sitting at it while we had it at the house!)

A fun dresser

I painted this fun little dresser for our sweet friends Paige and Dusty!

I love the color! She picked a Robin's Egg blue color and then we did a fun paisley design on each side! I hope you're enjoying your new dresser! I can't wait to see it with everything else!

table and chairs

This table and chairs is one of my very favorite things that I have ever painted! The family is ADORABLE and their house is one of the cutest I've ever been in!

I painted the top black with a black and white checks around the edges...
Each chair was painted black with circles on the seat...each circle has a T in a different font...very fun! (Their last name is Trumbly)

The legs are my absolute favorite! Renee wanted each section of the legs to be different...polka dot, leapard, stripes...she has such a fun style!Hope you are enjoying your new table Trumbly Family!

stools

Here are a few pics of some stools I painted a while back...I have been

really bad about posting lately...and taking pictures! I will have more to post soon!

more painting!

My friend Jaime is definitely keeping me busy these days! She dropped off her kitchen table and chairs and a small kitchen hutch to be painted last night....here are a few pictures of some furniture that I painted for her twin girl's room a few weeks ago! This is a small armoire...Jaime loves harlequin and the girl's room is done in black and cream paisley/damask fabric, black and cream harlequin, black and cream polka dot, and accented with hot pink and lime green....When she sends pics of it all together I will share...I am sure that it is ADORABLE!!!

The armoire and the dresser together... I painted harlequin on the top of the dresser and on the doors of the armoire...the armoire had a fun paisley design all over the sides of it...so did the dresser....lots of fun to paint!!!!

This is by far one of my favorite pieces!!! Not really what I did to it or anything...just the dresser itself!!! I LOVE this dresser....Bob and I wanted to buy it from her and keep it for our house! It was such a pretty piece of furniture!!! It even looked pretty when she brought it to me all sanded down and bare!!! Perfect for a little girls room....or my room!!!!
Hope you are enjoying your new furniture Jaime!!!

A table for the Greene Family

This is a fun little project that I painted for my friend Nicole last week...it's a child's table with two chairs! She wanted a verse on the top, lots of color, and a G on each seat in two different fonts...this is what we came up with!

a scripty G in a fun blue color on one

and a typewriter style G in red on the other!

On the top of the table we put 1Timothy 4:12 in a fun font...the legs were checkered and the top was split up in four sections with leopard, stripes, paisley, and polka dots! It was lots of fun to paint! Hope you are enjoying your new table Houston, Cole and Ava!

1st Trip to the Zoo

We took the boys to the zoo on Wednesday! The boys had a great time and mom and I got a great workout pushing that huge stroller!! Here is Jack giving his little brother a big hug!

Jack carried this net around the zoo...when I was packing the bag he ran in and said "mom, don't forget this...I am going to catch a flyin' speckled frog!!"

MiMi with her two favorite boys!

Notice the shoe is off...this is the last picture that we have with the shoes on...we lost the shoes, a pair of sunglasses and the lens cap to my camera...all in one trip to the zoo!!!

The boys and MiMi eating our picnic lunch! MiMi told Jack the day before to make sure that mommy made the sandwiches in the shape of animals (she always did stuff like this for me when I was little!! on land run day one year I had little oklahoma shaped sandwiches!!! )....well, on Wednesday morning I realized I didn't have any animal cookie cutters....jack said "well mom, you better get out your scissors!" I finally found a butterfly cookie cutter...kinda girly, but it worked!

Painting

This is the big project that I was working on for my friend Amy...it's an armoire that is in their living room! The front has almost like a crest painted on it with a big S in the middle and a crown on top! Super fun!!! Her house is very fun and whimsical, so it looks darling with all her fun furniture and decorations!

The sides are painted black and white checked with flowers all over it! This is my favorite part of the whole thing!

This is another project that I did for her a while ago...Her girl's bathroom is so fun! A circus/carnival kind of theme...she wanted a pictue that looked like the little photo cut outs that they have for kids to put their heads through to take pictures...It was so cute how she put pics of the girls behind it!

Another pic of the finished project....
