Hope your weekend was nice. Mine was. It passed a little too fast for my taste but i'm feeling pretty refreshed and ready for whatever my busy week dishes out. Well, at least i think i am?
I usually show items i've made from fabric, i thought today would be a fine day to show a work in progress i painted over the weekend. Although i certainly feel more at ease with my foot on the sewing machine petal working with various textiles, i had a really nice fun time.
Having not pulled out my brushes in so long, I forgot how relaxing painting can be ~ sometimes it can get very tedious, but yet very relaxing. Also, if you mess up, you can just paint over it. I like that part.
In case you are curious, i used a creamy white paint named Wedding Cake by Martha Stewart Satin Acrylic Paint. I was introduced to her range of paint by sweet Pei Li. I am so pleased with the result especially with that sheen of satin glow!
Martha Stewart Satin Acrylic Paint has a whole range of soft shades ~ extremely beautiful with really cute names. I'm pleased as punch about finding them at a local art and craft shop. I became an impulsive shopper and bought me a couple of different shades in sweet pink, green, blue, white and beige. I hope someday i will be able to collect all of her beautiful colors.
Hope your Monday is off to a good start.
Have a beautiful week.
Love to you.
What a wonderful weekend project Jacqueline. I love the little display case, it's so gorgeous and you've painted it beautifully.
I'm in love with all those yummy paint shades you've chosen too!! Hugs ♥ Vicky ♥

I love Martha Stewart paint too, Jacqueline! I chose "Couscous" for the walls of Cupcake Cottage's kitchen. It glows from within--so bright and cheery! Your bread box looks yummy! xo Jennifer

Hello sweet Jacqueline! Our sweet friend, Koralee, shared a link to your blog with me and I am so happy she did! It is lovely to "meet" you sweetie! Your blog is beautiful and I love your darling girls! You did a wonderful job painting the tiny display case! I love all of those paint colors and will have to pick some up on my next trip into town. I am so glad you shared that her paints are good, as the paint I have used in the past seemed too thick. Cute names are a plus too! :)
I hope you have a happy week! Love to you! Paula
I am going to visit you on flickr too! So glad to find you there as well! xoxo
