Random this and that

It seems that as soon as a new year begins, I find myself in the first few months, nesting. Nesting as in moving furniture around, changing up displays throughout the house, cleaning out a junk drawer or two and so on. As is my nature, I have a few of these projects going on at the same time.  Here is one that is actually finished and it started with a Christmas present I received from daughter #4. She thought it was a crazy present request, but I really wanted it and I really love it.

Here it is. A ceiling medallion.

 

I wanted it for my kitchen chandelier which is above my kitchen table. I painted it the same color as my kitchen island (above).

 

After painting it, I decided that the chandelier needed some jewelry and color.

 

 

I really love how it turned out! Now I need to get the vacuum cleaner out and get after those cob webs I spied above my curtains. :-/

Here is a couple of pics of my garden right now. I thought it might add some cheer to those of you in the wintery parts of the country. :-)

 

Here is my lovely purple vine that I can't remember the name of.

 

That's all for now. I'm busy working in the studio................more to share soon!

Hugs!
