A New Obsession

Hello my name is Heather and I am addicted to outdoor lighting and Mason jars. Even more so if the two are combined. (sighs) There is no end to the possibilities, and Pinterest is only feeding this obsession. Pictures to follow.

 I have iPhoto once again. Time to start blogging again!

Another owl headband, but with more of a plume than a tuft of pink feathers. This will be in my Etsy shop soon.

Speaking of feathered beings, we had some birds living by our front patio for a little while. They're very young mourning doves, Berty and Gerty.





 This is all for now. I need to upload some more pictures soon.

I've Returned

 My Mac has been returned to me. However, I have no iPhoto. Ugh!

s(MAC)king my forehead

 (M)y once (A)wesome (C)omputer (cough cough Macbook cough cough) is gone for the next few weeks. After attempting to install an update, an "error" occurred and I haven't been able to use it since. I called Mac first, but was outraged when they demanded $50 dollars for phone tech-support. $50! For a product which should be under warrantee! So I took it to Best Buy. The Geek Squad did all they could, but in the end I left with a broken heart and an external hard-drive. So now my Mac is away to be fixed and when it comes back, it will have an all new hard-drive.

 In other news, three days before this happened, I opened my Etsy shop. HeatherDoodle Designs has one item listed. I haven't been able to list anything else.

More Blooms

Watermelon flower

Another baby hat with flower as modeled by Benjamin A. Bunny. He's so patient. :-D

Fourth of July bloom!

Breezy Summer Hats

Here's Emmy modeling her new hat, complete with detachable flower.

Flower shot!







Then I made a few more...

This one is infant sized...

As modeled by Benjamin A. Bunny. Of course, it looks different on a child.











This little cat is, in fact, a hat!

As modeled by me. :-D

Picture Perfect

 My most recent little project. I started with a cheap-o frame from Michael's (It was $0.66!), and spray painted it gold-ish. However, I noticed some air bubbles, so I sanded it a little and pulled out some good old metallic Plaid Acrylic paint in Champagne. I painted about 6 layers of paint, following the wood grain. After I was content with the paint, I decorated with scrapbooking stickers I bought for $1.00 per sheet. To finish it off I sprayed it down with some matte sealer and let it dry. The last thing I needed to do was add a picture and ... ta-da! Although I do need to either go out and buy some glass for it, or even perhaps a little mirror. We'll see.
