Hand Painted Steeler Football Glass

Well once again I have fallen behind on my blogging, both for this blog and my homeschool blog. So many things to do, so little time. I have lots of things to share with my readers, just need to take the time to get them posted.

My husband is a huge Steeelers fan. I am not particularly fond of painting on glass, but I do it now and then. While at the Dollar Tree, the other day, looking for Christmas Eve boxes, my daughter found this plain football glass. It was the last one, and only a dollar, so of course I bought it. Then I painted the colors, symbol and name on the glass. I just have to seal it, and it will be a wonderful Christmas gift for my husband. I don't paint trademark symbols, unless they are gifts. This is not legal, and I don't do it.

Don't forget to check out my BOGO sale, in my Etsy store, and I am now auctioning off some items too on Ebay. I wish Etsy offered auction style listings, it would make things so much easier.

Some Updates For My Etsy Store and Ebay Auctions

I had another sale for my BOGO sale event, in my Etsy store.  That makes November a very successful month.  I have decided that for older inventory, and as the listings end on Etsy, I will be auctioning off some inventory on Ebay.  I wish Etsy offered an auction option, but alas they do not.  Plus, I realize that it is far less work to sell on Ebay, and some people do not want to buy on Etsy.  So, to visit either of my selling venues, click the links below.  One other update, my Etsy shop will no longer be offering free shipping after the first of the year.  I think it has been a whole year of free shipping, so it is time for that to end.

Swiss Blue Topaz Marquise Wire Wrapped Ring BOGO Etsy Sale

Did you know Blue Topaz is the top selling colored gemstone in the USA? For one thing it is affordable, as far as gemstones go, and it is blue. Blue Topaz can be used as a substitute birthstone for December babies, when Blue Zircon is too pricey, or hard to find. Over the years, I have made lots of jewelry. Sometimes I break the prongs, or the setting just isn't what it was supposed to be. I try not to throw away broken, or damaged jewelry, but instead to upcycle it into new and beautiful pieces of jewelry. That is what I did with this ring, and several others in my Etsy store. This one is a size 4, perfect for a pinky, or petite hand. To purchase, or see all my beautiful items, visit my Etsy store. Don't forget my BOGO sale is still going on, through January 1, 2016. Buy one item at full price, get a second item of your choice free of equal or lesser value. You can't beat that!

Item Number 2 Sold for My First Ever BOGO Sale

I had my second sale, this past weekend, for my first ever BOGO sales event.  BOGO stands for buy one get one free.  One of my Rhodochrosite rings, and the Green Quartz ring, are now sold.  Don't forget I also sell paintings, and crochet items.  Something for everyone!  I just drew out my next painting, and this one will be on canvas.  I love Snowmen, and it will be special, I hope.  I still have to draw out the next horse, for my next football color team item.  That one too will be on canvas.  I found the cutest, I don't think they are ceramic, but very heavy, Santa praying over Baby Jesus figurines, at a local flea market.  They are completely unfinished, and will make adorable bookends, or table decor when I am finished.  I also started a new crochet nurse doll, that I hope will have a special touch when done.  The cap will be the hardest, and making eyes, but I could use buttons or beads.  Will see.  So visit my Etsy shop, and get two gifts for the price of one.  The sale goes all the way until January 1, 2016. 

Football Colors Abstract Horse Painting Silver Red and Navy Blue Patriots BOGO Sale

The silver in my picture doesn't look like silver, but it is. The Patriots are still undefeated, so I picked their colors for my next horse painting. This one is definitely an abstract painting. I hand draw the horse first, then paint it however I see fit. This one is the colors for the Patriots, or any team that has these colors, silver, navy blue, and red. It is signed, dated and available in my Etsy shop. All my items, even my new ones, are part of my Buy one get one free sale, until January 1, 2016. My next two will be on canvas. I only tried canvas one other time, and I was not crazy about it for several reasons. But now with a little more experience under my belt, I will try it again. If I don't find it works for me this time, I will stick with what I am already doing. Visit my store, I have something for everyone, from Art to Jewelry and Crochet items. I just finished a hooded blanket, that I think would make an adorable baby bunting. I will have to decide how I want to finish it.

New Christmas Horse Painting Abstract Zen Tangle Doodle Mixed Media Art

Brand new, just finished last night. I think I love the horses more than the peacocks. I did a horse in team colors last night, too. I will share that one later. This one has a Christmas theme with Poinsettia tangle doodle flowers, ribbons in green, pink and red, plus a few snowflakes. Even my new items are included in my BOGO, buy one get one free sale, so be sure to stop over to my Etsy shop, and check it out. The details are all on my store front. I have jewelry, crochet items, and art. So, something for everyone. Lots of Christmas ornaments too, which make great gifts.
