The Shed Gallery




My shed is a mess. My plan was to clean it out today. I’m reminding myself of my daughter, Jamie, when sent to her room to clean. I constantly find her sitting in the middle of the room tinkering with something she found, not cleaning. That’s me today. The contents of my shed are everywhere but in the shed at this point and we have dinner plans in an hour.
So before I load it all back into the shed in a semi-organized fashion, for fun I thought I’d stage a gallery of some of my past paintings that I had buried. There’s family portrait (before we painted the house and adopted Sarah), folk-art style, our 10 year wedding anniversary quilt painting, some Southern Living at Home Gail Pittman dishes (that I love collecting) with fruit a couple of landscapes and a few misc. others that I used for greeting cards back when.

Ok, that’s out of my system, now back to work.

A Face without a Name Contest Winner

I’m not the biggest contest holder, but it was fun while it lasted and I thought 24 hours was enough. So….

The winner of the most creative name and story for my $3.oo painting is…

Katja Muggli of Munich, Germany for her entry: Valentina, a 17 year old farmer daughter from Perugia. Very cool entry. She wins the Just Something I Made MOST CREATIVE AWARD certificate (sent via e-mail) and matching blog gadget. So nice work and thank you all for entering. And as always, thank you for visiting my blog!

A Face Without A Name (or A Story)


This is not just something I made. This is something I just bought 20 minutes ago at the recycle area of our county dump. Are you ready for this? Three dollars.

The signature reads either H. Elling or H. Ellina.

Now all she needs is a name and a story. Leave your idea in the comments and I will choose my favorite. If yours is chosen, I will promise to update this post with your blog info and email you something super fun to use on your blog. (Be sure to leave your contact information.)
Please note that I moderate all comments, so please keep it nice.
