Well, I was in bed by 7:30 tonight, socked out with a nasty cold. For those of you who read my blog regularly, you know I am a busy girl and I like using every minute of my day. When I'm in bed during my prime work time, you know I don't feel well. So, I thought I would share some results of my new toy, my mat cutter. I've wanted one for years and I finally asked for the Logan Intermediate 450 for Christmas this year. I have a box full of old family photos that I've wanted to frame, but it would cost a fortune to have them all custom framed. Since they are old, they are unusual sizes, so store bought mats and frames generally wouldn't work.
So, with my new mat cutter, I can find old frames when I'm out and about and cut my own mats. Over the last few days, I framed a couple of my favorite family pictures in some antique frames I found in my grandparent's attic.
This is a picture of my grandmother as a little girl. So sweet. I can't wait to get more of them framed. It's very rewarding.
I also had a custom order for a hand painted German Grain Sack. I finished it yesterday and my client was very happy with the results. These will be going in my Etsy store, but until then, let me know if you're interested in purchasing one.
I just took a Nyquil, so here's to a better looking tomorrow.
