Finished this cedar waxwing last night and will take a break from CQJP to reorganize and get other projects underway.. upcoming birds will be hummingbird, robin on nest, barn owl and swallow.
Hit the thrift shops yesterday and found a few treasures including another revolving shoe rack...What wonderful space savers and organizers they are. This one is much nicer than the other one I used for thread and ribbon. I will fix this one for paint bottles. Who would ever use it for shoes??????
Love the gold and "white theme". The cedar waxing is great!
ReplyDeleteThose birds just keep getting better and better ..... as to the "shoe/paint" rack .... the Thrift Store Queen strikes again!!!
ReplyDeleteThe waxwing is just delightful. A shoe rack would definitely be wasted on me. I have one pair of "good" shoes that I've had for probably 10 years and a couple of pair of runners. We don't go out an about much and I'd rather spend my money on cq things - especially if I can get them at the thrift store. Sometimes that is not such a good thing - I got a skein of Soie Cristale there last year and just used the first precious strands - now I'll just have to save up to get some more :)
ReplyDeletea beautiful block. Look forward to seeing the shoe rack adapted for your paints
ReplyDeleteBeautiful waxwing! I'm looking forward to the owl too - they're one of my favourites. I must say I've never seen one of those shoe racks - never would have guessed that was what it was for.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Gerry. A breath of fresh air visiting for a few minutes this morning. Glad to see you are well and creating. I am off to Dad's this morning as I do every day now. Will try to post tomorrow myself since my brother will be there until 3. Love love you, susan
