UFO's How many do you have lurking in your cupboards?

 In a previous post I mentioned I had a few UFO's  (un finished objects) and someone  commented about  their UFO's.  I thought it might be a bit of fun to find out how many of us have UFO's lurking in our closets, garages, kitchen tables Yes, there are some of us who have spread out to every spare space of our houses! hehe...  





  Until this year, when I started making wedding invitations for my son and his fiance', I have managed to keep most of my UFO's hidden from the DH (Dear Hubby).  Well, ALMOST. 
 
  We are like 2 migratory birds that flit from one place to another. So, we move every few years.  Most often due to either my work commitments or DH's.  EVERY time we move I get sprung with my UFO's big time!!! On moving day or when we are unpacking the "Craft room" boxes multiply like tribbles! (Only a Trekky would know what a Tribble is lol). Every time one of those "tribbles" appears my DH grumbles under his breath...."More UFO's".  After many hours of back breaking work the inevitable comment comes out of DH mouth .... "Just how many UFO's do you have, you seem to have more every we move (insert exasperation!)"

  My current former UFO is a place mat I want to paint with a Vintage style floral image in the center.  I want to sell this at the markets. Vintage and vintage looking items seem to be all the rage, so hopefully this will be a hit at the markets.  I have a bit more work to do on it.  Hoping I get time this weekend.  I have an Ebay class I am teaching on Tues. and I need to prepare the notes for it before I can have a play and finish this piece.
 


  So, what UFO's do you have lurking around?  Have you finished any UFO's lately??

    We have SO many UFOs in our house that the list could in all seriousness go on for about 3 pages. Really! One current UFO is a big box of bookmarks that the kids and I started a few months ago to restock in our Etsy shop...We did finished about 10 [out of the 40]. There's still so much work to be done!

      Haha. I think it is a trait of a creative person...I remember a few years ago there was an email going around with the caption "I'm not messy....just creative" Thanks for stopping by.

First Love, What inspires me

  Have you ever been somewhere, done something that make you say "Ahhh" and feel like spreading your arms out wide and dance a little happy dance?      I decided to take Saturday, last week, off from making all the Mother's day cards I have to make for a womens group I belong to.  I belong to a women's breakfast club and every year I make at least 20 Mother's day cards to sell to the group.  Some Mother's Day Cards I have been making         This past weekend, my husband and I went on our usual market scouting.  We went to Red Hill, Market,  Melbourne's, "Grand Dame"  of markets.  I have always liked to visit the craft markets to get creative ideas and to ensure what I am making is unique.  Of course I love to do my "grandma shopping" at the markets.  I think by buying handmade items at the markets I am supporting other artist  and I also like buying one of a kind items.  ...

Why The World Would End Without Art Communities

  Thanks to my husband's constant encouragement, we happened upon a new exciting project in, Yackandandah, Victoria.  We went there by accident,  in April 2014,  while on one of our many trips exploring the Alpine area.  Yackandandah, Victoria is an arts paradise with cozy cafe's, Art Gallery's, Antique shops and a main street with vintage style architecture.     While having a coffee in one of the cafe's in Yackandandah ,Victoria, my husband saw a flyer advertising the Yack Station creative space.  Yack Station is just on the edge of Yakandanda.  It is a work and gallery space for Artists and Craftspersons.    Yack Station Website  As I am frequently looking for creative spaces, I thought I would have a look at this space and artists are always keen to have you admire and maybe purchase their work.  So, we went for a visit to the Yack Station.    Original " Yackandand...
