Work in Progress

Hellooooooooo

Lots going on in and out of the studio. Thought I'd share something I'm working on today

If you can't tell due to the mess, it's a mirror :-) I'm hoping to finish it up this week....fingers crossed.

Hope all is good and creative in your world!

xoxo!

Love,

A boost of color

I've been looking around the house lately and thinking of painting.....again :-)

This past summer I painted the laundry room and the master bedroom and bathroom.

Laundry room:

Master Bedroom: (I'll add some better pics of this room once I have it decorated the way I want) (Mosaic headboard coming soon!)

Today:

The pantry door:

Before:

After:

The door still needs waxing which I will do tomorrow.

Do you see a color theme here?? LOL!!

Yeah, I'm a bit addicted to Aqua....just a bit. :-)

I find myself craving a lot of color lately. Okay, more than usual. I have ideas for some other places in the house which I hope to be tackling soon. Paint just makes me plain happy :-)

Have you added any pops of color to your home lately?

Don't be scared. If you don't like it, you can alway paint over it :-)

Now go add some happy to your house!

Love,

Michelle

 

Clean up time

My studio is a DISASTER! Especially after my thrift shopping excursion the other day.....where I scored some pretty cool plates and doo-dads :-) When I returned home, I dumped my load into the studio and walked away. My studio was already a disaster before the dumping, due to the orders that went out right before the holidays. Oye

Here are a few pics to show you what I was looking at yesterday

One of the counters:

Thrift shopping dumpage. I did some serious shopping!

One of the other counters:

I spent the entire day yesterday cleaning this mess up....mostly. I have more to clean today, as well as, catch up on some icky paperwork. blech 

I will be so happy when everything is done, as the anticipation for new projects is burning like a fire in my gut. The dreams in my head feel like they are going to crack my head open if I don't get them out soon. Oh the EXCITEMENT!!!!!!! Oh geez, I'm losing my breath just writing this! 

I feel like 2013 is going to be FABULOUS!!!

Which means I had better get my booty off this computer and get in that studio and Get-R-Done! 

See you soon!

Love,

Michelle

Happy New Year!

AND,

May you plant a garden

AND,

Have Much LOVE!

A Day in the Garden

Ever have those days when unnecessary drama is weighing you down?? 

Well, I've been having a couple of weeks of that. Blech

The best thing for me to do when I'm experiencing such "ick" is to get out in the garden and dig. I mean really work hard. And that is exactly what I did today. My body feels like someone ran me over with a truck, but my mind is clear. Being out in the garden and breaking a sweat really helps me put thoughts in my head into perspective. It just seems to bring order to my life. 

To see my yard, some might wonder if I've had a lot of thoughts to ponder in the past.

The answer is YES :-)

This was a tiny stick transplant of Basil I planted in the Spring. Look how huge it is! The bees love it.

The sun was starting to set and really my body could not take anymore today, so I decided to stop and just snap a pic of my view. I LOVE it!

Now go do something in nature. See if it clears your mind. :-)

Additions to my Etsy shop

Hey Peeps!

I've added some whimsical mosaic monsta's (monsters) to my Etsy shop www.mosaiccottage.etsy.com

Monsters seem to be all the rage these days and these lil' guys look awesome hanging on a wall. Put a brightly colored frame around them and they even look better. If you have a cool artsy house, these are the perfect addition. They would look cool in a kid's room too. These guys are the last of several I made this year. So if you like them, get them now. :-)

I hope to also get some jewelry posted this weekend. So keep a look-out for that :-)

Here's wishing you the happiest of holidays!!!

xoxo!!
