CRAFT/STUDIO PART THREE

I know this is getting old, hearing about this shed project.

But it did take a couple of month's to get finished. Because we had had wait for stuff to dry and wait for the weather sometimes it rained and with it being outside sometimes it took longer for the mud to dry and then we couldn't sand it. 

Right after it was finished

HOW I GOT MY NEW CREATIVE SPACE "AKA" MY CRAFT STUDIO/SHED

PART ONE : I never really had an actual space to work on my craft's. For year's I would just sit at the kitchen table or dining room table. That was when I used to paint I love to paint ceramic's or plaster craft's. We have a whole "SLEW" of Christmas decorative plaster crafts. I would paint the ornament's for my  Christmas tree. 

Crafts every where!

This was my "quiet" time that I would be off all by myself after my son would go to sleep. My hubby would fall asleep in his chair and I would sneak off to my little corner of the house, but I was not alone I had my two furbabies laying under my feet!
I eventually stopped painting don't really know why, but I then started doing latch hook rugs and then paint by numbers but I had to stop that because it started to get really hard to see those numbers, (I am sure alot of you know what I mean) LOL.

Totes of flowers

But about two year's ago my son moved out and I was feeling that "EMPTY NEST" so I suggested to my hubby that I would like to start a wreath business online because on our local news that had talked about ETSY. Tom (my hubby) told me to go for it and he would help out in any way that he could.

So much stuff

 We just happened to have an "EMPTY" room so I decided to fill it up with all my craft stuff and I hung wreaths all over the walls as I finished them. My mom is also involved with the making of the wreath's. We get together a couple times a week or a month and we "CRAFT" and talk and just have a wonderful time together. These are the moment's that I will alway's treasure!
So anyway's my son decided that he wanted to go to school and he would not be able to do that and live out on his own, so he came back home which was really great except for the fact that now I had to figure out what to do with all this stuff! As you can see there was alot!
Well I moved it all downstairs to my dining room and it looked like I belonged in that show "THE HOARDERS" and it was kinda swallowing my hubby up because that is where he has his computer.

Stuff

Work area

Well we lived with that for about a month and we were out at the store and walked by one of those really nice sheds made out of wood and had planter boxes and I jokingly said oh look "Kellie's Craft Shack" ha! ha!. And Tom's eyes lit up and said oh yeah that is a great idea. I was only joking when I said it. So we decided to buy one and it didn't get installed until late August. We painted the outside of it to kinda match our house so it would not look to out of place in our yard, because it is not a big yard.We had a lot of work ahead of us. Picture #1 is what it looked like after we painted it on the outside.These pictures  are of the inside before we drywalled and insulated the inside.Which that was a big job and it was so hot in there with the sun beating down I felt like I was melting because I have not liked the heat for a few years now. So when the drywall was up we then painted it a bright and cheery yellow.

ROUGH WALLS!

 This is the end of part one of this post..........

Busy Trying to create this blog....

I have been busy trying to create this blog. For the longest time I kept putting off blogging because I figured who would want to know what I 'am doing and also I 'am not really sure I can actually write a blog!

But everyone kept saying that blogging was what you need to do, to advertise. I don't know what do you think? Good idea? or Bad idea?

I have been checking out other blog's to see how to create and set one up. I hope I have done a good job so far. It would be really helpful if I could get some input on what I'am doing "wrong" or what I'am doing "right"

so please feel free to "critique" me!

It was very easy to work with.
But I'am not really pleased with the way it turned out.
What do you think about it?

TREASURED MOMENTS

Just wanted to let you know that I don't make all this stuff alone.

My mom and I make all this stuff.

This is our special time that we have sitting around laughing talking and "crafting" these are moments that I will alway's treasure in my heart.

She is my best friend and I love her with all my heart. I know that I don't say that enough to her, but I hope she know's that.

And just remember that all the thing's that we make are handmade with "LOVE".

This is me and my two "LITTLE" Lap Dog's (NOT)

Sable and Gus

Hello, My name is Kellie and this is my "NEW" Blog and when I say new I mean really new!
Please be patient with me while I try and develop some writing skills for this new adventure.

Precious and Sable 2000

Up in that picture on my left side is Sable she will be 11 year's old in October. She is a full blooded German Shepard, she is such a good dog, she was trained by my other dog Precious (who was a real GEM of a dog) RIP Precious! Precious used to go and sit by the door like she wanted to go out and when we opened the door she would go lay down and Sable would go out and she taught her what she should do and what NOT to do in Mommy's house.They were best friend's and always side by side. I can't find any picture's of one of them just by themselves. they loved each other so much that when in 2006 Precious had an operation and then passed away in recovery. Sable did not understand where did her best friend go and why? Well I also asked myself that everyday because you see she was my best friend too! It was so quiet in my house without my FATTY PATTY that was my nickname for her because she loved to eat and it showed. The Doctor's at the Vets said they never knew a 100 pound dog named Precious. LOL. So after two weeks of Sable not eating and constantly going and sitting up looking out the window we decided to look for another buddy for her.

Gus on his first day home

I got on the computer and looked for a new friend and I found Gus he was just the cutest little thing and we drove two hours away to go and get him from a shelter.

Sable and Gus December 2010

Painting that My hubby and son got me for xmas in 2006

He got car sick and still to this day he can not go more than five minutes away without getting sick! Well Sable did not appreciate us bringing her home a new friend at all! But they did adjust to each other the friendship is not the same at all. And Gus is my problem pup he is afraid of everything "wind, trucks, rain. thunder, fireworks, etc," and he has separation anxiety which he takes two prozacs every morning and when he is really upset he also takes a zanx. But I deal with it even if I'am up all night long with him on those stormy nights.They might not be like Precious and her were but I guess they are getting closer as they age. Just thought I would give a back story on my puppies they are a big part of my life just like my son and hubby are.

Exhaustion Sets in

I can never fall asleep, I'am up all hour's of the night. Which is okay if I don't have to get up and go to work. Which I had to do today all I do is yawn all day and could fall asleep right now. But when it come's time to go to bed I will be wide awake!
I have plan's for tonight. I want to make my boss a present for her new baby that is coming very soon. Her last day will be this Saturday. After I give it to her I will post a picture of it. I wouldn't want her to see this and then the present will be spoiled!

Just some pictures of my work
