Renegade Craft Fair: Holiday Austin

It is so so busy around the house these days - mostly because we are getting ready for the Austin Holiday Renegade Craft Fair.  Yahoo!  This will be our 3rd Renegade Craft Fair and I love, love, love. It. The first time, I nearly cried at all of the wonderfulness there was to see.  It is free and so worth it!  Please come and find us in booth #67, across from Stella the Airstream trailer (aka Wondercraft).

Here is one of our hot items you can find at the show...

Back to work!

Owls Coloring Page: Day 7 of 7

Free coloring pages every day for a week!  That was REALLY fun! <3

Here is the final page: an assortment of my owls.  These would be fun to print on sticker paper or printable shrink plastic.

For those of you who are really into owls, I just made a new set of owl Christmas cards.

And because I love owls myself, I have a bazillion other owl themed goodies in my shop, including this fun owl collage notebook.

Free Coloring Page Day 6: Abstract

My mom used to draw these coloring pages for me.  It's easy to do it yourself.  Just draw a bunch of wavy lines.

Here is an example of one I colored in a while back.  This a great excuse to try out new supplies and to experiment with color combinations.

Here is number 1 of a week of Coloring Pages. Enjoy!

Paint Sample Butterflies

While looking for more ways to use up scraps of paint samples left over from various projects, I decided to try this:


All you need is paper and a few supplies: scoring tool, ruler and paper punch. I used a butterfly punch from ek success because it has the antennae.


Here's the project I did with the cards initially: coasters.


Photographing the butterflies is as much fun as making them!






This is a fun and SUPER simple craft. Glue them on cards, magnets... lots of possibilities.

Paint Sample Christmas Tree Card

I have lots of paint sample scraps left over from different projects.



This was a fun way to use a few to make a holiday card. All you need is a circle hole punch (I used 3/4"), glue, and paint sample cards.

Making paint sample coasters continues to be a fun way for me to experiment with different color combinations and to participate in Etsy's regular color specific features.


Yay for paint samples!
