Clock Face Crazy and Just Plain Busy

It's been a little clock face crazy here lately.



As you know, I've been painting clock faces.  Well, I've been finding them too.  In my last post, I shared some of my finds from this past weekend, which included clock faces.  This vintage clock face is another one.




A couple posts back, I shared a peek at a distressed clock face I was working on.




A dealer friend of mine asked if I could paint a clock face for her using a piece of wood she spotted the last time she was over.



You can see how much larger it is than my other clocks. I was contemplating adding more detail, but, she liked it the way it was.





My friend is Traci of Whimsy.  She has a beautiful shop in Morris, IL.





Not only did she buy the large clock, but, she drove away with every clock I had finished, and a bunch of other stuff.




BTW, my heavily distressed clock face was the number one favorite on Facebook, and here.




 However, I also have requests for this version.




Here's another one I painted on a salvaged piece of metal.  I wanted it to look like I discovered a clock face under layers of paint.




So, I've been making clock faces, cleaning up and selling some of my recent finds,




like this vintage scale.  It now lives with my friend, Sharon.




I've also started painting frames,




and, I have to get at a bunch of other projects.





I've just been busy in general.

I've been baking more than usual as well.  I'm blaming it on the chilly Fall weather we've been having.



See ya soon.

  4. That antique clock face is beautiful, Rosemary! You certainly are busy with your clocks. I'm planning on making pumpkin bread tomorrow. It has been so chilly here I put our blanket on the bed today.

  6. I love everything you've been making including that cake! We've been having cold weather lately too. It's so sudden! We went from shorts and sandals to long pants and light jackets overnight.
