Fan Blade Recycle

I-Needa is a painting madwoman. I'm a little afraid to visit her now as she tends to paint anything standing still and in sight. It makes me fear, as don't want to wake up in the morning with pumpkins or sunflowers painted down my arms. Surely she isn't that bad yet! At some point, she may need an intervention.

I-Needa is obsessive compulsive... sorta. So am I. She comes by it honestly. We don't wade into new territory. No, we plunge in headfirst and go at things with reckless abandon. When that wears off, we are on to new frontiers.

Actually, I'm green with envy on this new endeavor. I've always wanted to get into this painting stuff. I-Needa is fortunate to have Mrs. Paints Beautifully two doors away. Some of the neighbors are getting together frequently to paint. I believe it all started with painting flower pots. For I-Needa, it has grown into a full time passion. (I can't wait to see what I get for Christmas! I'll bet it's a painted something.)

I do think this fan blade is cute. She put it by her front door, and it certainly welcomes in the fall season. It is just a happy little thing, and I know I-Needa is proud of her newest work of art.

The Craft Fairy Visit

This isn't the first time I've mentioned I-Needa's new passion. She is into craft painting... bigtime. Today she sent me an email with pictures of what happened when the Craft Fairy visited. Please note that this stash of fairy loot is spread all over 'my' guestroom bed. I guess I won't be visiting for awhile.

Also note the wonderful spiny thing and guess what it will be holding soon. Alas... I-Needa will have something to organize her paint bottles into. Of course, that will be in 'my' closet. The guestroom closet was taken over for crafts from the very beginning. It assures that no guest can bring many clothes. Just kidding.

I will add that I-Needa has always been a giving person. She really does love sharing things, and I think it is wonderful to see how others share with her as well. One Man's Trash truly is Another Man's Treasure.

In this case the saying should be: One crafters attempt to clean the closet is another crafters delight to receive. Oops.. I forgot this was about the Craft Fairy. To be quite honest here, the generous soul is a friend of Mrs. Paints Beautifully.

In the meantime, I-Needa has blessed me with using her CM shape makers as she is busy painting. We just trade our stuff around . It works for both of us at times.

More Painting

I-Needa is still in full tilt experimenting with painting. She has worked and worked on this and says it still needs something. She thinks she has figured out what she wants to do to 'fix' it, but I think she is doing really well for just starting... or even for just doing.

I think I might be safe in getting her a Christmas gift certificate to Hobby Lobby again this year. I'm sure paint, canvas, and frames are going to be in her future for awhile.
