Crafty Me

When we bought this table, it came with a glass top...
that only lasted until it was about half way out of the box!
To replace the glass would have been $500...!?
So, for $100, we bought another table!
Billy cut a piece of plywood to fit the original
and we've been looking at that for several years,
until now!
I decided to take my boredom out on it and gave it a new look!

PS If your interested in doing mosaic, 
I can tell you everything you don't want to do!
Amazingly enough, I didn't loose a single piece during the grouting process!
(I couldn't be happier to be done!)



I'm starting to run out of room for my (very organized) shell collection...
and since the outdoor bathroom needed a mirror, and the theme is beachy...
I did this:

Also, a shell wind chime and a bird house:

And finally:
A QUILT!
My first in Panama!!
Well, it was actually something I had in the works before we moved down.
I'm not fond of it much, but everything was already cut!
Anyhow, to pull it all together, I made some pillow covers.


Well, there you have it.
Now I am without a project and going crazy.
I spent some time at the beach today collecting some shells,
trying to get inspired,
with no luck!

I guess I'll get caught up on blogging...;)



One more thing...

Before I close out 2011, I have to add these:



His 2 favorite Christmas presents!
Video game, from Grandma Barbara
and a hand made gun rack, from dad.
(I put the finishing touches on it, but that was about all!)



Below, a couple pics from one of the parties we went to.



All in all, it was a quiet but nice Christmas.
OK, maybe a bit lonely.
 I wish it wasn't so damn cold in Florida this time of year!
Christmas in July anyone...?!

Holiday Boat Trip

 To celebrate the holidays we went out to Isla Secas!
We did a little fishing...

and little beaching!

As you can see it was a beautiful day!

Hope you all had a happy holiday season!!
