In the Workroom Recap : Week 278

Hey guys! Only two weeks until the One of a Kind Show! I promise I'll stop talking about it once it's over but until then - I am all OOAK all the time!

I've been slowly chipping away at the to-do list and getting excited to get the show started. It doesn't feel quite yet like Spring is close and show season is starting but I think a couple more weeks and a little less slush on the ground will help.

This week started with finishing up the Owl Baby pins.



And getting the last coat on to the display trunk as I waited for the lining to arrive in the mail.



I was also pretty excited to see the photos One of a Kind took of my dolls and even more excited to find them on the press release for the new Etsy section.




"Distinctly different" is a pretty awesome compliment I think! I hope to finish another doll or two before the show but we'll see!

But first I have to finish stocking up on everything else! I finished stuffing the Owl Mamas and started on a batch of kitties!



After the paint on the trunk was all dried, I finally figured out a way to hang the dolls in it. 



Then the lining arrived! Best mail day!



I was a bit nervous to cut in to it but after finishing up the kitties...I cut the lining pieces and finished the trunk finally!





Finished! This was my first sort of furniture refinishing project and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Having to get together a new show display with a deadline was just the motivation I needed to do it. 

Then I got to work on a big stack of little owls which I will be finishing up this week!



I will see you next week with hopefully a bunch more finished work! Bye for now, friends!
