Taking Painting to a New Level

I am trying to take my painting to a higher level than it has been, and this box is my first attempt. I am not putting it on Etsy just yet because it isn't lined. I put it here so that my daughter could see it.

Small Hexagon Box

I made this small hexagon box early last Spring and thought I would try listing it on Etsy. If it interests you, go to my Etsy Shop and check it out.

New Etsy Listings

Here are two boxes that I just posted in my Etsy Shop. The one on the left is the green version of the one I mentioned below. The one on the right is a Folksy Style box that I thought I would try just to see what happens. Let me know what you think of them.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile

I want to welcome people coming to my blog from my daughter's blog Pumpkin Patch Quilter. It is really nice of you all to come here. I haven't been keeping up with Etsy like I should have. I have been busy selling lawn furniture I make. ( I had one fellow order four Adirondack Chairs from me and that kept me busy for awhile making them.) I made the box pictured above about a week ago and thought I would post it here for you to see. I did a similar one in green. I will most likely sell it at a Craft Fair, but if you are interested in it just send me an email and I will quickly post it on Etsy. (I do all my sales here through Etsy, even though I'm not listing anything at present. One nice thing is you can buy with Paypal on Etsy.) I will try to keep my listings up to date both on here and Etsy, but if I fall a bit behind please forgive me.

Something Different . . .

This box was inspired by my daughter who loves to quilt. I put Irises on the top and tried to make it look like a quilt. My sister says it looks American Indian, but I don't think so. Anyway for more photos of it go to my Etsy Shop where I posted it yesterday.

Kind of a Dutch Feeling Box . . .

This is my latest addition to my Etsy Shop. It is a box that I think has kind of a Dutch feel to it. My daughter has been too busy lately to come visit my blog, so if you are new here, I will be glad to hear your comments. I really enjoyed making this box and am happy with the way it turned out.

Two More Boxes added to Etsy Shop

I just posted these two boxes on Etsy. I am trying to get good photos of the boxes, but it isn't easy. I am taking a class next week in Digital Photography and hopefully I will learn some ways to take better pictures. I put these photos on my blog to keep my daughter and friends informed. But my daughter is so busy raising two small children (with a third on the way) that she doesn't get much time to go on the computer and visit my blog. So, I hope whoever reads this will comment and let me know what you think.
