SPRING!?! MISS YOU!!

Okay, okay, you can fuss at me.  I know it's been a long time since my last post.  Been hibernating and creating, getting ready for a local spring craft show. At least the weather cooperated that weekend, it was "warmer".   Just praying for spring to finally arrive temperature wise.  I mean, who knows how to dress for this kind of up and down weather?  If you are like me, it's been a long winter!  Love my fireplace and all but really, it's time to not have to use it.  This post will be brief word wise because I want you to see all the new things I've done.   Some will be on my Etsy store and some will not, as they already sold or I just don't want to ship them due to their being fragile.  But, if you see something you like, and it is not in my Etsy store, email me and we can figure out how to get it to you.  I really had fun creating this past couple of months.  If you hear of any craft shows please email me, acornhillhome@gmail.com.    On to the photos!!  They will tell the story of my hibernation.  Warning, this is a long blog--stay with me!

Had this tri-fold screen for years and finally decided to decoupage it for the grandkids room.  Bonus, on the other side is canvas so I can use it at my craft shows.  Not for sale.

For my Mom's birthday--Gluten Free cupcakes, Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, Flourless Chocolate with Mint Frosting and Flourless Chocolate with Buttercream.  YUM!

Not for sale---ALL GONE!

 

This is Guardian Angel.  I spent almost 3 weeks just getting her right.  I love her.  This is a custom sculpture using my handmade paper pulp and take two weeks to make before I can ship.  You can order on Etsy or email me.

 One of my favorites, this wreath is made of Bible & Hymnal pages and has a paper pulp cross on the ribbon.

 

Love my Easter Egg Wreath.  The eggs are of my handmade paper pulp.  I left them the natural color and added the color with strips of fabric.

Salt Dough Easter Egg Ornaments.

Rabbits and a cross using my handmade paper pulp.  Have I told you how much I love working with that medium?  It's fun!  The possibilities are endless.

Peter Rabbit Molded Ornament.  He is 8" tall.

 

Another spring wreath using my fabric flowers and bird.

Paper Roses anyone?  Remember that song?  These roses are individually handmade from a Bible Commentary and made into a topiary on a glass base.  Keep out of direct sun.

 

Cross from wood disks and other natural materials.  Has thorns.  Sold out but I can make one for you.

Giant Easter Egg from a Bible Literature book with pulp bird. A library which shall remain nameless for now donated a lot of books to me because they have seen my work. I will be making things for them to use in the future also.

Egg wreath, without fabric colors and a flower wreath from hymnal pages.

The paper crosses from Bible pages and Hymnal pages were my biggest seller for a recent craft show.  I have orders for more.

More wreaths and a tree from donated book.

Spring Fabric Flowers!! 

 

Below, new aprons just listed on Etsy today.

Mother/Daughter aprons.

 

Homemade Easter Tree, i.e., colored tomato cages. Katie made the tissue flowers for the top and there were pastel lights in the middle.  Worked well for the ornaments.

 

Last photo--my recent craft show display.  Katie and I had fun!

 

I will not be so long in writing in my blog. There are so many unfinished projects going on right now it's hard to know what to do first.  All this bending of my neck to sew and work on paper has sent me to the chiropractor.  Pray for me and I'll pray for all you folks!
