A Sampling of Isa Creations at the Pink Attic Cat

I can't believe another week has come and gone.  I worked with Kindergarten and 4th grade this past week when I worked as a substitute teacher on Monday and Wednesday.  I am scheduled to work next Monday, in my son's 4th grade class.  This will be a first for both of us.

My 16 year old daughter has been driving herself to school for the past 2 weeks, soon after she got her driver's license.   Although part of me is still getting use to the very idea of her driving herself to and from school, I have to admit it has been nice to not have to pick her up from school after Tennis practice.  However, on days like today where the wet icy snow keeps falling.... I worry.

My son Alex's artwork was selected to represent his 4th grade class (a boy and girl is selected per grade).  The open house at a local college is tonight.  Both of my kids are creative, however, more recently I see more of it in Alex.  Laura is too busy with high school AP classes and Tennis.

I was at the Pink Attic Cat on Tuesday.  I love how Amy always transforms her shop to reflect the seasons.  Although it is snowing as I write this, we have had a small peak into Spring.

Yeah!  Spring is on it's way, even if we are in a pattern of Snow, Sunshine, Snow again!!

Anyway, here are a few pictures of a sampling of Isa Creations handcrafted items at the Pink Attic Cat located at  2555 W. Alamo, Littleton, CO 80123.  Visit the Pink Attic Cat's Facebook page here.

Vintage Inspired Easter Baskets

On Tuesday, I planned on going over to the Checkered Corner house on downtown Littleton to paint the bedroom upstairs...future home of Isa Creations for the next year.  The weather forecast, light snow...expect very little.  Ha!  If you live in Colorado, you learn the weather forecast is not as dependable as one would like.

As I was gathering all my painting supplies, the ladder....  well, I asked myself  why?  Why deal with the snow when I really don't have to.  The snowfall was  much heavier and lasted most of the day.  I am so glad I switched plans.  I stayed home and finished my Vintage Inspired Easter Baskets.

It was a messy project, glitter and paper shred everywhere!  I printed lots of vintage Easter graphic cards, several  different sizes.

I  decoupaged paper mache and some plastic eggs using a French Dictionary paper with German Glass Glitter on one end of the egg.  I folded sewing pattern paper and gift wrap tissue then created a shredded edge with scissors.  I created  ruffled crepe paper using my sewing machine.  On some of the peat pots, I decoupaged French Dictionary paper.   I added glitter to little clothespins.

This project was similar to a recipe.  Create key ingredients, then mix them all in to create unique little Easter baskets.   I will have these available at Sugar Plum Bazaar on March 9th and 10 and also at the grand opening of Checkered Corner on March 15, 16 & 17, 2013. For more information on Sugar Plum Bazaar go here and Checkered Corner here.
