doll's valentines day
I did great little doll tea sets for valentines day with flowers on one side and hearts on the other. I also made some great bedspreads for the doll beds that were so popular at Christmas. They have great heart patterns. I am into sewing alot lately. I want to make some bunnies for Easter.
Getting ready for Valentines Day
I have been doing a few small things for Valentines Day. I love the puffed heart ornaments. I have to start back painting more furniture. That is my first priority. I do love doing the hearts and angels though.

desk for school
I found this great old desk at my son's school. They had no more use for it and had thrown it away. I had the idea that I would redo it and donate it back as a prize for an upcoming fundraiser. I think it came out great. We found a chair from the same time frame that paired up great with it. I hope they earn some money from it.

Valentines Day
Getting ready for Valentines Day. A little behind schedule. Did these pretty plaques. I am hooked on painting angels lately. I also made some bedspreads with a heart pattern for the doll beds. Believe it or not, Spring and painting bunnies is coming up fast for me.
cedar chest and trunk
I did these great two old trunks. One was a terrific cedar chest that needed a little help. The customer wanted scroll work on the trunk. She was going to put it in her bedroom and she had blue walls and brown bedding. She gave me a sample of the scroll pattern that she wanted. I love how it looks. The other trunk was for a customer that already had purchased a bed and wanted this trunk painted to match to sit at the foot of the bed. I love the shade of purple. I would like to do more things in this color.

Prayer plaques
I did these prayer plaques for a catholic school tricky tray. I love the angel one. I think I will do more of that one.
I also did a prayer plaque (no picture) of my own favorite (and made up) prayer:
Dear Lord:
Please put your arm around my shoulder
and your hand across my mouth.
Amen
That is my personal mantra. www.handpaintedbycookie.com
