Canvas Art & A Glass House

I signed up for Donna Downey's Canvas Create class. It was really fun. Here is my canvas for January. Of course I copied what she did but since I am not a painter, I learned some techniques and had a great time making this. The picture really doesn't do the piece justice.

For my birthday in December I had ask for a container to put some of my handmade wool felt crowns in. Look what a fabulous glass house I received from two friends! I put it on my kitchen table for display.

 I decided it needed something in the bottom. So I shredded some music paper then put in the crowns.

I also included two birds, but you can hardly see them in this photo. One is cement color and the other is blue. There is a book box that one of the friends had made me along time ago, and I added it too.

New Items Added To My Etsy Shop

I had time to add two new items in my Etsy shop http://www.donnagoss.etsy.com today. It took me awhile to finish this scarf. I do not like to knit when it's warm and it has not been cold (until today LOL) so it took longer than usual for this one. it's great to wear casual or dressy.

This glass house is a Christmas theme one. It lights up with battery operated tea lights so there is not a fire hazard. Done in pink and green colors for a fun and whimsical style. The other end has a transparency in it of a girl sitting on Santa's lap. I do happen to know the little girl and she is not little anymore, but just as sweet. On one side of the roof I applied punched out reindeer. You only see them when the light is on though. Kind of a neat effect. There are more photos of the other sides on my site so go check it out.
