<br />
I had recently purchased some die cuts from another Etsy Seller and when I started playing with them, came up with some fun ornaments. Among those is this Pink Beauty. It checks all the boxes for me. It's pink and white! It has some of my roses on it! And, there is glitter! How much more could you want, right?<br />

I just finished these thumbtacks (pushpins) and listed them on Etsy for sale. I think they would make a great addition to a shabby chic kitchen note board or home office.<br />

Without insulation it just heats up. Don't get me wrong, that's not always a bad thing. It make the room usable for a good 3 seasons and even when it is steamy hot, it's actually feels really good after coming in from the pool.</div>

The layers of glaze give them a smooth finish that enhances all the details. Sometimes I make baskets of roses, sometimes just groupings. Recently I've been making Tussy Mussies. Some I think will have a nice felt background and ribbon to created a very unique shabby chic ornament.<br />

Adding a little bunch of roses here and there can brighten your day, I hope you order one just to see how sweet they are.~Renee CreatingCottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14599014225580657740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813634366604653629.post-66778145167219565452016-03-29T14:25:00.002-04:002016-03-29T14:25:47.134-04:00<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Making</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is selling your work the point of making it? I really don't think so and I'll tell you why. I love to make them, regardless. Yes, I would hope all my pieces were sold so that they were shared and enjoyed by many but I don't think it would stop me from wanting to make clay roses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now, as I just finished work (I work from home) and decided to jump onto my blog, my mind is spinning on what I want to make next. I admit there are times when I think I really have to get rid of all these things I've made. But it's not because it's only important that my work sell but to mentally make room for more ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm one of those people who would be happy to make one of each idea I have - crazy right?! But that's the way it goes sometimes. I get an idea and then once I get it out, formed into clay, baked and painted ......Yay, I'm done and I can move onto the next idea. But, should I be more regimented and make 20 of them, see how they change, evolve and become something new just be recreating them. Yes, I probably should do that, but most often I find I don't! It's more about realizing something that's been floating around in my head for a while and I just need to create it to see it in real life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I guess to answer my own question - No. Selling my work is not goal for me (but boy wouldn't I like to support myself with my clay) but in all honesty I really don't have the ability to stop making things. I guess for some of us, like me, it's the making and not the recognition that is the point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

HAPPY MAKING</div>

This is an 8.5" tall sculpture that I made recently inspired by one of <span class="st"><a href="http://christierepasy.com/BigPictures.asp?catalogid=436" target="_blank">Christie Repasy's works of art</a><i>. </i></span><br />
<span class="st"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="st">I just love her style of painting and haven't done a large piece in a long time. The weather was still pretty 'yucky' when I did this, so it seemed fitting to sit by the fire, gather my clay, put on a movie or 6 (who's counting right?) and just sculpted roses. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">Although this is not technically a furniture applique since I plan to frame it, it really would be a stunning one of a kind on a large piece of furniture.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="st">If you have any interest, please feel free to visit me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CreatingCottage" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and I'd love to talk to you about making something inspired by you! </span><br />

3.5/5 I did enjoy the book although sometimes the time period slang would get annoying. Set during prohibition with a fantasy twist it's a fun read and I did like the characters. The ending wasn't an ending at all, but a set up for a next book........Yes, I'll probably read that next book:) ~Renee CreatingCottagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14599014225580657740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4813634366604653629.post-51537818784690833642014-08-06T12:53:00.000-04:002014-08-06T12:53:01.793-04:00All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr<br />

Based in WWII, seen through the eyes of the Germans and the French. The backgrounds and character details are remarkable.

I hate pre-sanding and have gone way out of my way to to find a great way not to have to do it! It's all about the primer. Gripper. I don't care what you're painting or how shiny the surface, if you start with a light layer or two of Gripper, you can paint it.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhWM7HHbpLPO-8LX8KlyVeo1rT9yEIG1HHEBexBhIvCPnbWf2wIoQ_fDw-wCdfnRJP6RcRT_7uiAjXunSnNrR1CYYXXEv-tqN8-NVwh6NqYM4jH84Lou5tboxWwWBcjAzlKcmrIt2ques/s1600/Painted+Hutch3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

This piece came from my husbands Grandmother's house. The glass had been long before we got it, but for my purposes it wasn't a problem. I needed it as a shove spot more than anything (I can never have enough of those......so many craft things). <br />

The blue and white toile fabric was a round tablecloth I found on deep discount and used thumbtacks to attach to the back. I tacked up the whole piece first and lined up the center to have it lay strait. Then I cut it mainly to shape, folded in the edges to make it clean in the back and re-tacked. Worked great.<br />

I've recently been adding new pins to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/creatingcottage" target="_blank">Etsy Shoppe</a>. I made one that has roses in a Tussy Mussy Cone, groups of roses with handmade clay ribbons, on beds of leaves, in baskets and on hearts. I also did a cute little Bluebird of Happiness sitting on a nest that I hand embroidered. For that piece I secured the branch with embroidery and I used some of my favorite glue - <a href="http://www.createforless.com/Dritz-Home-Unique-Stitch-Fabric-Glue-1.25-oz/pid130656.aspx" target="_blank">Unique Stitch, that you can find at CreateForLess.</a> <br />

It seems like I've said this a lot lately, but its true...........Pink Shabby Chic Rose Ornaments really aren't just for Christmas, they look lovely anytime of year!<br />

I hope you agree<br />
