Hey! I made some MORE wreaths!

I'm seriously running out of doors to display my creations. So I've started selling some. So sad to see them go, but so happy other people can enjoy them!

Some of these were client orders, some were just created for fun. Most are for sale. If you want to copy my design and make one yourself, go right ahead! Have fun crafting, and thanks for checking out my blog! Please go and "like" my page on Facebook....https://www.facebook.com/TheCraftyApple :)

St. Louis Cardinals

"Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd... buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don't care if I ever get back .... so let's root, root, root for the CARDINALS.... if they don't win it's a shame, for it's ONE, TWO, THREE strikes you're OUT at the old, ball, game!"

Oh yeah, you know that's right.

Favorite baseball team deserves an awesome, one of a kind wreath! Never seen one like this... I created it myself. :)

This is a 24" wreath, with a 12"x12" hand painted logo suspended in the middle. Looks so awesome in person!!

Contact me if you want one! I can make ANY team for ANY sport. Just give me the specifics!

(Although we all know that the 1st wreath like this I made was for the #1 team in MLB....)

4th of July Wreaths

Here are some of my newest wreaths. I made all three this week, and am seriously running out of doors to hang them on. ;) I'm sure that won't stop me from making even more!

LARGE door hanging

When I say LARGE, I mean large. Well, for a normal 36", 32" or 28" interior door. Most bedroom doors are the latter, right? Anyway, I had a friend ask me if I could paint one, and after seeing an example of what she wanted, I bought the supplies I needed, and finished in just a couple of days! Would have been sooner, but I have to drive 45 minutes to the closest Hobby Lobby..... anyway, here are the pictures! It turned out great, if I do say so myself. ;-) It matches the little girls' bedding and room theme. Yay!

Woo Pig Sooie!

For those of you visiting the blog from the other 49 states (or countries! Woo! I'm international, baby!).... there is a saying down here in Arkansas.....that is ingrained in every Arkansan, natural or transfer. They stop you at the state border and teach you how to call the Hogs, you know? ;-) Anyway, this famous saying is how to root for the Razorbacks. "Wooooooooo.....PIG SOOIE! Woooooooo......PIG SOOIE! Wooooooooooo......PIG SOOIE! RAZORBACKS!" That's how it's done. While I've only lived in the Natural State for 5 years, I've quickly picked up on the hype that is the Razorbacks. Those frightening hogs are displayed all over this state! I've started crafting Razorback stuff, and will be venturing into some painting of the spiked hogs soon.

These were all client orders or gifts that I gave. I am not a graduate of the University of Arkansas, or any (Arkansas) state college for that matter..... I'm a proud graduate of (now) Missouri State University (then Southwest Missouri State University) and then Webster University for my master's. Although with my master's, I didn't attend any sporting events. Just did my work, attended class, made my As, and got outta there! I will say however, those Razorback fans are something special... they make everyone feel welcome! WPS!

Christmas Ornaments

Last Christmas I found an ornament on Pinterest that I fell in love with. So I made my own. Then I got inspired to venture out and try new ornaments, and I made these little cuties:

I ended up making quite a few of these... personalized with everything from gymnastics to weather! Of course lots of little ballerinas wanted one... it was fun! I wonder what I'll find to make this year?!?!

Happy 1st Birthday Kase!

I was recently contacted by a woman here in town and asked if I'd create the decorations for her son's first birthday party. I was given a couple different blogs to look at for ideas, but she told me the exact colors she wanted, which differed from the items in these blogs. The theme? Sock Monkey. But none of those "grey-blue" colored sock monkeys. LOL! So while these actual sign sayings aren't my originals, the actual products are. I created and hand-painted everything here! :)

The party has come and gone. I can't wait to see the pictures and how the decorations complemented the party! Happy Birthday Kase!

Yep, I did it again!

I started another blog. Just for my crafty creations.

So I'm in the crafting business. I'm in the crafting business. Um, I'M IN THE CRAFTING BUSINESS!!!! My hobby has turned profitable! (Well, kind of.) :) I'm pretty proud of these creations. Don't worry, I have plenty of duds too. I won't post pictures of those. At least not right now. :) Please bear with me as I get take the time to get my pictures uploaded, it takes time, and my spare time is pretty full right now....crafting, of course!
