Sorry I have been MIA on this blog lately but I have been gone two weekends in a row vending at shows again. I have a retreat that I am teaching at this weekend and then another show the next weekend.
I did find some time this morning to take a picture of the guest bathroom wall that I finally decorated. The bathroom is so tiny that I thought it would be easier to take the picture from the reflection in the mirror.
The spot where the pumpkin wall hanging is right now will have a small penny rug taking it's place. As soon as I make it! The pennys are finished but they need to be attached to the background.
I just love the pictures that I redid to fit in the space. I scanned in some of my favorite family photos and changed them to sepia, printed them out on regular copy paper and put into some old, cheap frames that I had painted black and antiqued.
Here is a better look at them individually . . . . . .

Below the picture of the bumblebee (AKA Computer Geek) will be some iron or metal black stars when I find the ones that will fit the space. The tin candle lamp was a castoff from one of my cousins. It was originally the silver tin color that I spray painted with black matte paint.
Hope you enjoyed!

Cathi, I love your photos. What a great idea to print them in sepia and just use regular copy paper - a very inexpensive new grouping! ~Ann
Well, you have been busy. Show us later what you taught at the retreat, please!
I see your tiny quilt hanging. Looks great and those photos are so sweet done in sepia.
Love sepia photos . . . planning a sepia photo project here soon.
