I wish I had half as much creativity as you do! :-) My favorite is the yard sticks for trim. Great idea! You should go into decorating business! I enjoyed this post and thank you for sharing. Also, thank you for your kind words on my blog. Hope you have a fine week ahead!

The extension is a dream, and how wise you are, separating the messy from the clean activities. Your signs are brilliant - I adore the cow! They have a wonderful vintage look. Thank you for your visit to my blog, and I'm sorry you had a breakdown too - mine sounded minor by comparison, and we didn't have to be rescued from the far side of the zoo with a pickup truck for my buggy with its flat battery! With my hubby giving me a push up the hills, we managed to limp our way back to the entrance! I'm glad you got a grandstand view from high up on your way back, though! What an adventure.<br /><br />Shoshi xShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-85466764003428813302017-05-07T09:29:25.085-07:002017-05-07T09:29:25.085-07:00Thank you Melanie, you are a sweetheart.

I wish I could have a tour in person! I think a magazine should do a feature on you and your glorious art space. :-) How wonderful that you are going to sell your signs and quilts. With your talent, I don't think you'll have any problem doing so. Seems the painted signs are so popular now, too.

I like your idea about the once a month sale. It's certainly something to thing about. I was thinking more on the order of twice a year. Spring and Fall. You are such a sweet blogging sister and I appreciate your encouragement. I'm excited about trying this and at the same time very nervous.

I have to admit I'm somewhat jealous (well, more than "somewhat")!! I love signs too.. old wood signs and yours are just wonderful. I think you should have a once a month "sign sale" at your house out by the road for passersby to see it. Local people will soon realize that you'll be there once a month and will come and bring their friends! Are your "barn quilts" going to be fabric quilts or painted quilts? I think painted quilts or quilt blocks on wood, somewhat distressed, would be awesome.. or little mini quilts painted on old wood. You are so very talented and so happy that you have such a wonderful outlet for your creations. I can get lost in my craft room all day and come out at 5:00 or so and wonder where did the day go? Sounds like you are the same! Hubby probably enjoyed having you working along side of him building this addition! Hugs..

Then shut the door and go home. For many years my kitchen table was by creative space and we all know how hard that can be. Thank you for your encouragement and blogging friendship.
