New hobby

Thanks to my great friend Britt, I have learned a new hobby!  I know Jeremy is just super excited for me to have more projects.  What can I say, I like to be creative.  Anyways.  Britt, the master glazer and furniture re-doer gave me a lesson in glazing.  Thanks so much for your help!

I found this ugly frame at goodwill for $6.99!

…and after Jeremy’s help taking it apart into this…

…painted, glazed and turned it into this! Sorry about the picture quality – misplaced the good camera in the preparing to move madness.

and gave it to Karissa for an early first year anniversary gift.  It’s a dry erase monthly calendar she can use to keep track of their crazy schedules. 

Oh and she loved it! – Always a good thing when the recipient likes the gift!

I liked the purple so much I’m trying to think of something and somewhere I can put something purple in my house.  I hope there will be many glazing projects to come! Anyone have access to old five panel wood doors and windows???
