Here's the latest photo of the art I've been working on. I changed up the lettering a little to make it a bit more colorful!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and an even better Memorial Day weekend!

A custom order from Etsy!

2009-05-18T00:28:00.004-05:00

Here's my latest project...it's a custom order from Etsy! I am making this one to coordinate with a little boy's bedroom. I just love the plaid! This is my largest canvas I've done so far...it's a 15x30, and it's been a lot of fun to work on!

I still have some finishing touches I need to do to the plaid, and I'm still finishing up the lettering. But, I'll be sure to post a picture of the final product! Hope everyone has a great Monday!

a-r-t!

2009-05-03T22:24:00.007-05:00

So, here is the final product...

I know I've already said this...but I just love that this little girl's initials spell art!

Oh, and this week I got my second custom order via Etsy! I am really excited about it...and it's going to be 15x30! So, I'll be sure to post some photos along the way!

I can't believe that the weekend is already over!! Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Under the sea!

2009-04-29T21:29:00.007-05:00

Okay, so it's been way too long! I finally have a little sneak peek of my latest little project to share! This is one of three 6x6 canvases, all with a coral reef theme.

Hopefully my version of coral doesn't look too much like a tree! I do like the color combo, and what's even better is...that the initials will spell out a-r-t!

I hope everyone is having a great week...and I'll have more updates soon! Oh, and don't forget to check out my Etsy Shop! I try to add new stuff as much as I can!

Finally an update!

2009-04-07T23:07:00.007-05:00

Hi everyone! It's been awhile! So here's a quick little peek of my latest canvas I've been working on...

This is my first custom order I've done through my Etsy Store, so I am pretty excited about that! I've still got a little more work to do on it and some touch ups...but it'll be ready to be shipped pretty soon.

I received lots of great comments about the post I did on making your own floral topiary...so if anyone got to make one, I'd LOVE to post some photos of how they turned out! I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Congrats to the Giveaway winner!!

2009-03-28T21:11:00.002-05:00

The winner is...Sklnurse, and she said...

"You are so talented and I love your color choices. My favorite is the bloom and I would put it in my kitchen if I won. Thanks for the contest."

I just wanted to say thanks for all the entries, great ideas for new items, and the extremely kind comments!! I'll be posting some photos of some new art soon! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

How exciting!

2009-03-24T23:43:00.004-05:00

Wow! I didn't even realize my little topiary was being featured on Tip Junkie! How cool! I hope you guys get a chance to make one. They were so fun and easy to make...and nowadays, decorations like topiaries can be kind of pricy. So, why buy them when you can have so much more fun making them yourself?! Click here to go to my little post that should give you the instructions you need to make a spring floral topiary! If anyone gets a chance to make one, I'd love to post some photos up on my blog to show how they turned out! Happy crafting!

New stuff...and don't forget the giveaway!

2009-03-24T23:00:00.006-05:00

I wanted to share some new items I'll be adding to my Etsy Shop soon! I made some of these last fall...so here they are! Hanging Doorstops! You can hang them on the doorknob when you aren't using them and they can double as a little door decor! These could be great for college gals...because I remember how everyone loved to prop their doors open when living in the dorms. The photos here all show different sororities, but I also made a lot of them for the Christmas holidays with different festive phrases or words. They can also be made-to-order to match any room or home decor!

Don't forget! Everything in my Etsy Shop is 10% off until March 27th...custom orders included!! And you can enter the giveaway hosted by Jamie over at Saving In Style! Up for grabs is your choice of Bloom, Sprout, or Grow in the 6x6 size. Good luck and I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

2009-03-17T22:49:00.007-05:00

Happy St. Patty's Day! I hope everyone wore green! I got my first blogging award today from Tanielle over at The Polka Dot Daisy! It was pretty exciting! Now I must pass it on...but first things first, I must share 10 facts about me before I do...so here we go!

1. I am originally from Florida...and I absolutely love Disney World! Anyone who knows me, knows that I try to make at least 2 visits to the Happiest Place on Earth every year! Some people may think I am too old for Disney, but ever since my first visit when I was 4 years old, I have never stopped loving it!

2. I have played golf all my life, and got to play in college. Nowadays, I wish that I had more time for it, and sometimes I find myself daydreaming of what it would be like trying to play professionally...if only I liked to practice more!! ;)

3. I LOVE almost all movies from the 1950's and 1960's. My favorites are Gidget Goes Hawaiian and Pillow Talk. I wish I could go back in time and be Doris Day. Who doesn't love her clothes??! When my best friend and I go shopping, we search for things that are "SO Doris Day!" Basically if Doris Day would wear it, I love it!

4. I have a beagle named Annie and I probably treat her more like my child than a dog! She's just too cute!

5. This will definitely show my age, but I was (and still am) the biggest NSYNC fan ever...and of course, I LOVE Justin Timberlake!

6. Some shows I try never to miss are: American Idol ( I really like Danny and Matt this year!), Brothers and Sisters, Private Practice, Gray's Anatomy, and both The Hills and The City (yes, I admit it!)

7. I am an intern Interior Designer...and I'll be taking my exam to become registered this fall! Wish me luck!

8. My favorite stores are: TJ Maxx, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, and of course Target! Ann Taylor Loft has some of the best clearance and sale stuff...if you can wait just a couple of weeks after an item has been introduced to the store...it'll probably be on sale! I love to search through clearance and sale racks...it's like a treasure hunt! I would almost consider myself a shopaholic...maybe that's why I love the Shopaholic Books so much!

9. I can't go to the movies without getting a bucket of popcorn and large coke!

10. And finally, I love painting and crafting. After a day at work, I always look forward coming home and and creating something...it's just a great way to wind down...and it gives me something to do while I enjoy my tv shows!

Whew! I know that was a long list, so I hope I didn't bore you! So now I am passing on this award to some fellow bloggers! Drumroll please...

BopBopDesigns - She does fantastic work and also spotlights lots of great Etsy Stores! What a great combination!

This Is The Year - She has tons of crafty ideas and did a really cute post on some Modge Podge projects for spring!

Simply Happy, Simply Everything - She has a really great Etsy Store and also shares some great finds on Etsy as well!

I hope everyone had a great St. Patty's Day! Tomorrow's Wednesday...we're almost half way to the weekend!

Planes (or Boats!) Trains, and Automobiles

2009-03-15T22:56:00.007-05:00

Here it is! I've finished the last canvas in the transportation series! This one should be listed in my Etsy Shop soon.

I'll be offering these as a set of three and each one separately. Don't forget, I can always do a custom order if you'd like them in a different size!

My next project is a set of three 6x6 canvases for a little girl's nursery. These will have a coral reef/ocean theme, so I am sure these will be colorful and fun to make! Each canvas will have the little girl's initials on them...and what i think is cute, is that her initials spell A-R-T! How cute! I'll be sure to post some photos as I go...so keep an eye out for them! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Easy Spring Decor!

2009-03-15T01:16:00.004-05:00

Okay, so I thought I'd share with you guys a blast from the past! A couple of years ago, my best friend and I decided we wanted to make some floral topiaries...with a personalized touch of course! It was so simple and easy...so I know you'll enjoying making one of these!

Here's what you'll need to get started...everything you need can be found at your local craft store:
1. Styrofoam Topiary - You can usually find these wherever they sell floral wire, moss, wreaths, etc.
2. Little Clay Pot - Make sure that it will easily house the base of the topiary.
3. Bag of Moss - This will be used to cover the styrofoam base of the topiary.
4. Fake Flowers - I picked out a little bushel that had plenty of little flowers on it. You'll probably need two bushels, and depending on the size of the topiary you are making, you may need more. Also, make sure the flowers you choose can easily be plucked off of the plastic stems.
5. Acrylic Craft Paint - This is if you are want to paint the clay pot.
6. Hot Glue Gun
7. Ribbon
8. Wood Initial

And here's how to make it:
1. Paint the clay pot and your little wood initial.
2. Place the topiary in the clay pot. You may want to secure it to the bottom of the pot with a little bit of hot glue.
3. Pull the flowers off of the stems, and start hot gluing them to the topiary. I just glued them in different spots, and then filled in where I had any gaps.
4. Put some hot glue on the styrofoam base of the topiary and quickly place the moss on it. Just make sure you use enough to cover the entire base.
5. Now tie your ribbon around the clay pot, and hot glue your initial to it!
6. Your finished!

Now you have a great little topiary with a personalized touch perfect for Spring...or any time of the year! You can always make topiaries for other seasons as well...just change up the color scheme and type of flowers you use!

Setting Sail

2009-03-15T00:56:00.007-05:00

I've finished the second canvas in the transportation theme series...so here it is! I hope you like it! The last canvas will be of a train...so I bet you can guess what that one will say!

You can find both the "beep! beep!" and "toot! toot!" canvases in my Etsy Shop! I'll be offering each canvas on its own, and all three as a set. Hope everyone had a great Saturday!

One down...two to go!

2009-03-12T23:53:00.003-05:00

Here's the finished "Beep! Beep!" painting...and it'll be listed on my Etsy Store soon! I'll be offering this little guy in the set of three I am working on and I think I'll be listing it by itself as well. It's almost Friday! I don't know about you...but I am ready for the weekend!

After I finish the little transportation themed set, I have an order for a coral reef/ocean themed set! I think these will be fun to create, so I am looking forward to getting started on those! So, I'll be sure to post some photos!

Have a great Friday everyone!

A Work In Progress

2009-03-12T00:11:00.004-05:00

Alrighty...so here's a preview of the first in a series of three (all 8x8 canvases with a transportation theme) that I've been working on! I haven't painted many things lately that are geared towards boys, so I am really enjoying working on these!

I've still got some more work to do on this one...but I think it'll be kind of cute when I finish (or at least I hope so!!) I'll keep you updated on how they are coming along!

I also spruced up my Etsy Shop with a custom new banner and other graphics...all thanks to Kimma over at Grits 'N Glamour Designs! She also made me some really cute "Thank You!"..."Custom Order"...and "Reserved" graphics to use!

Only two days until the weekend! Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

It's Amazing What You Find....

2009-03-08T19:21:00.003-05:00

When you clean your room! I was cleaning out my old plastic storage containers, and I found all sorts of jewelry that I forgot I even owned! So, in honor of all the re-discovered accessories, I went searching for something to display them in. So, I was at TJ Maxx today (one of my all time favorite stores) and found this bird cage-candle holder-looking thing. And I thought...this would be perfect to hold some of my accessories! And I got this idea from reading an article the other day that said, if you are looking for a quick way to spruce up your room...you can decorate it using some of your favorite jewels! So, for less that $10, I have a spot for my jewelry, and now maybe I'll remember that I have more than just one or two pairs of earrings to choose from!

And speaking up sprucing up...my little Etsy shop is getting a makeover! So, I'll soon have a new banner and graphics! I am pretty excited about it! Happy Sunday everyone!

P.S. I am getting together my sketches and ideas for a set kind of like the "Sprout, Grow, Bloom" Series...but a little more boy friendly!

A quick update!

2009-03-04T01:01:00.006-06:00

Alrighty...I've completed my little "springy" set! So, here are some photos! I hope you like these, because they were a lot of fun to make!

So, after thinking, and discussing with my best friend (who always has great artsy and craft advice!)...I decided to keep these pretty simple. I decided to paint the edges dark brown to match the lettering just to add a little bit of something extra to them...but still keeping it simple. I just can't wait for spring! (Can't you tell?!) It's my favorite season...Basically, I think what it all boils down to is...I just love springy and summery clothes better! I walked in to Ann Taylor Loft the other day, and I just wanted to buy the whole store! It was so bright and cheery...with a little bit of a vintage-y edge to it! Anywayyy...I hope everyone has a great Thursday! Only a few more days to go, and it's the weekend!

I'm ready for spring!

2009-03-02T23:22:00.006-06:00

Well, I loved the snowy weather yesterday...but I am definitely ready for spring! So, in the hopes of spring coming soon...here's a little photo update on my latest series!

There will be three canvases total in this set...so I'll leave the last one a suprise for now! I think I'll be adding a few more touches to these canvases, but so far...I really like them!

And on a completely different note...did anyone see the BACHELOR FINALE?!?! I just couldn't believe what I was watching! So shocked! See, my pick from early on was Jillian, but she didn't even make it to the final two! Oh well...I guess we'll have to wait and see if Molly and Jason make it!

Alabama...snow?!?!

2009-03-01T14:11:00.004-06:00

I woke up this morning to this!!

So before it melted, I made a miniature snow-woman!

I'm working on some new stuff...so I'll keep you posted! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!

A-B-C...it on Etsy!

2009-02-25T23:35:00.006-06:00

1-2-3! Here's my latest classic canvas in the 8x8 size. I've listed it on my Etsy Store...so check it out! I like the color combo on this one...I think it could work for a girl's or boy's nursery/bedroom. Don't forget, I can always create a custom order for you!

So, last night I tried my hand at creating an Alchemy Request on Etsy...and I have to tell you...this could become an addiction! If you ever are having trouble thinking of gifts for anybody...just go to Etsy and fill out a request. I have had so many responses with such great ideas! I am going to have a hard time deciding! The request I made was for a birthday gift for my mom...so if any of you fellow Etsians happen to stumble upon my blog, please click here and send me your ideas! I'd love to see them!

As Dorothy Says...

2009-02-23T23:03:00.006-06:00

There's no place like home! So here's it is...I hope you like it! It was fun to make...and hopefully it will help raise some money for the Birmingham Children's Theater. I think I'll be working on some St. Patrick's day stuff next..so keep an eye out for some new art!

A little glimpse...

2009-02-23T00:03:00.005-06:00

Okay, here are a couple of photos to give you a tiny glimpse of my latest painting! This one is a little different than what I usually do...which made it a lot of fun to create! I am donating it to the Birmingham Children's Theater, and the theme of the event is "A Night in Oz." So I tried to incorporate a little bit of the theme into the painting. Can't wait to show you all the rest tomorrow!

My name is Kelly, and I am a Shopaholic!

2009-02-20T00:00:00.013-06:00

It's been a while! Well, I made a deal with my very best friend that we wouldn't see Confessions of a Shopaholic unless we went together. We both read all the books, and scarily enough, we could completely relate! So, of course I had to a pay her a visit. We saw it, and LOVED it! (Of course, I really didn't think there was much of a chance that I wasn't going to love it!) It's a great girly movie, and I highly recommend it!

Here are some photos of the Hand Painted Wooden Letters...you can find more examples in my Etsy shop, so be sure to check them out! If you would like to order 3 or more letters, I offer a discounted rate. So please, don't hesitate to ask! All letters are made to order, so if you have a color scheme or design in mind just let me know. (Sorry, the photos aren't that great!)

I am also finishing up a painting that's being donated to the Birmingham Children's Theater, so I'll be sure to post some photos soon! I decided to go with the "there's no place like home theme," since the fundraiser's theme is "A Night in Oz." Can't wait to show you!

Flower Swap!

2009-02-12T21:13:00.006-06:00

Today I went to my first ever Flower Swap! This event takes place every year around Valentine's Day, and the purpose is to come home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I just had a blast! I brought yellow tulips to the flower swap, and came home with something completely different. So here is the result...I'm no florist...but I think they turned out pretty good for a first time bouquet maker!

So, if you are looking for ideas for a fun get together with your friends for Valentine's Day, a Flower Swap is a great idea! Everyone gets to create their very own bouquet!

I just love...

2009-02-10T22:46:00.006-06:00

Etsy! I just can't believe that I didn't know about this website until a few months ago! I've been missing out on entire world of fabulous things! So, I wanted to share a photo of my latest purchase...because I just really love it! It's this great chunky charm bracelet by JenJewelry. Love it!

Well, I am about to begin a painting to donate to the Birmingham Children's Theater. They are having a fundraiser at the end of this month, and I was really excited that a fellow Etsian asked if I would be willing to donate a piece of art! The theme of the fundraiser is "A Night in Oz" so I was thinking of incorporating something from the Wizard of Oz into my painting. Well, I am a little stuck on a quote or phrase I'd like to use. But, the first idea I had was "There's No Place Like Home"....so if anyone has any great ideas, I'd love to hear them!

I'm also working on a new painting right now...and hopefully I will have some photos to share tomorrow! I'll be in the Etsy Children's Showcase this Sunday...so keep an eye out for me!

L-O-V-E

My latest project...

2009-02-08T00:55:00.004-06:00

Here are a few pictures of my latest project! After making the "Love" set of 4x4 canvases, I decided to make a little 6x6 Valentine's Day classic canvas! I just love painting these little guys. I just haven't decided what word I am going to paint on it yet..so I guess I am going to have to sleep on it! (I didn't realize how late it was!) Time flies when you're having fun! I think this one will be ready for me to list on my Etsy Store by tomorrow!

Oh, and before I forget...I'll be in the Main Showcase Monday on Etsy! See keep an eye out for me! :) I am trying to create one more piece in time...but we shall see!

"LOVE" It!

So here it is...the "Love" Valentine's Day gift set! It's up for sale on my Etsy store: www.initialee.etsy.com! Hurry, because there will probably only be a couple sets available! These can either sit on your shelf for display, or I'll be happy to add coordinating ribbon to each canvas for hanging. I just "Love" this little set! :)

Almost finished...
