#vinylallthethings

I've been such a "cut-up" lately...

I had been wanting to make a giant canvas for a long time. A little re-decorating of the front room plant shelf was my impetus.

This is Psalm 100 on a 24" x 36" canvas from the HobLob.

My friends are relocating their antique shop to downtown Glendale and asked me to make a few signs.

I usually spend way more time designing than the cutter takes to cut the vinyl! 


And then my friend found stashed (& forgotten) stocking-stuffers from 2 years ago. I tried a little stretch vinyl on them. 

I also made the hubs a shirt he'd been asking for since the one he special ordered at a shop (who knew tall men need longer t-shirts?!?) has started to wear.

I've also got a few more projects in the planning/designing stage...

catching up: Spinning Wheel Antiques

My dear friends Sara & Bob decided to open a little antique shop in Glendale’s Historic District. Spinning Wheel Antiques is the realization of a long-time dream for them. They had a few booths in various antique “malls” but those venues were hard hit by the economic downturn so closed their doors.

20150509_100606Bob & Sara looked around town for a place to open their own shop, and found this adorable 1942 bungalow available in Catlin Court.

I have had the joy of being able to help out now & then. I love the way Sara merchandises their collection of vintage finds. opening (10)

Bob has “man stuff” in one of the rooms opening (24)and vintage tools in the mudroom off the kitchen. opening (52)He’s also allowed to display his “kitschy” items in the closet. Smileopening (31)

The kitchen overflows with beautiful wooden dry sinks, cast iron utensils & hand-carved rolling pins.opening (49)

My favorites are the glass displays in the dining room.11143314_678927365566808_99171551425070010_n

and this Edwardian mourning suit always catches me off guard: “How can I help you, ma’am?”20150509_100138

So, come see them anytime you are in Glendale. Well, not anytime, because they’re only open Saturdays until Sara retires from teaching school…10360605_10206521569506769_2150798339843090186_n
