Red Shed Girl Iced In and goin a bit crazy.....

We don't get frozen into our homes in Texas very often, but this week is an exception! Our streets are solid ice and it has been so cold, it hasn't melted at all. School has been canceled all week, and I have been going just a bit stir crazy. So what does a Red Shed Girl do besides catching up on the blog-o-sphere? My choices were somewhat limited because it's too cold to paint in my garage, and I left my jewelry making supplies at the shop. So I am working with what I've got here....I am afraid I will soon be trying to figure out how to craft with cat hair.

Michele handed me a vintage velvet candy box the other day and said "do something with this"... So here we go... All vintage French papers and cards, including French love letters and angel graphics. Edged with vintage chenille..

This cross is dripping with vintage pearls & jewelry. I added more chenille on the edge and antique French book pages on the back...

I added about 10 items (including those above, since we can't get into the shop) to our ETSY Store : OhPardonMyFrench

Altered a couple of little candles with French love letters (getting the idea of what I have at home? paper & chenille...)

Made some Paris tags for a project, unfortunately the rest of the pieces are iced in at the shop..

and dozens of burlap roses for a project to be determined later...a perfect cold day activity, except my kitchen, computer, and person are now covered in burlap dust and threads.........

To be continued.................
