How to install a bathroom cabinet and tile it on the top.
Now that I've taken care of the plumbing problem, one would think the installation would be a joy. But the old cabinet was stuck in its' ways and didn't want to compromise so I showed it who was boss by crowing about it with my pry bar until it began to loosen up. Then I found that once I got into the whole process rolling, new ideas and ways on how make this job more fun and easy just came to me effortlessly and then I finished off my installation by working on the top. I do love my work.

How to make an inexpensive mirror frame
A well hung frame is a great reflection on you and you don't have to spend a lot of money to have it. And because size does matter here, I show you how to get the exact size you're looking for without seeking a professional. Also, this might be your first time and most likely don't want a permanent bond with this reflection but you do want it well hung, so just watch as I show you how to have it hung securely up against the wall but yet easily removable in case you want to replace with a newer model.

Mounting it in the bath
A Vessel Sink and Faucet Installation
I found that plumbing seems to be nothing more than a lesson in human anatomy or maybe a lesson on male and female relationships. All you have to do is stick a male part into a female part and you have a working connection where the energy flows. Often times it's important to use thin coating over the male part before the attachment is consummated just to insure there's no leakage and I found if you want the connection to really last it does require a bonding agent that acts like glue.

I'm doing this again but I'm not sure for how long.
This has been a lovely but quiet summer. With the economy as it is I've had fewer faux painting contracts but that has given me the opportunity to spend more time with my dogs and create my Handy Goddess Show.. Doing these productions takes way more time and energy than most would imagine but I do enjoy the process and I find it a pleasure to be creative with video. I'm rather blessed in that I get to flow back and forth from painting to video, I can't imagine a life without my creative projects.
Over the years I've invested most of my time and energy in faux painting and video leaving my fine art always last. It's strange because the fine art was the one thing I wanted to pursue in my life but making a living took precedence. At first it was my decorative painting business along with my faux painting instructional videos and now its' doing my decorative painting business when I can get it and creating and promoting my Handy Goddess show.
But in between all that I do take time to paint my fine art canvases which are typically quite large and range form realistic figurative work to more abstract decorative flower paintings. And this October 14th I'm thrilled to announce I'm be part of a show here in Irvine with Gallery 212.com at the Back Bay Center in Irvine. I'll be showing some of my smaller works created on panel and framed in steel.

I am a one woman production company so it's difficult to get the word out about my show all on my own. So I'm asking if you know anyone who needs a smile then please by all means share my videos. I'm happy to be uplifting with my humor.
I've used countless screwdrivers over the years but the attraction never seems to last. No matter how many different ways or times you do the screwing it some how falls out of place and then you loose what you had in the beginning. So that's why I thought it was important to have me and my special guest, Michael James Brown, show you two different ways on how to create a magnetic attraction that holds the connection.

I'm always up for the challenge especially if the framework is strong. This dresser was left along the road without a home and then was adopted by a lovely couple. They saw the dressers potential and thought of me. So I took the furniture under my wing and gave it a fresh face makeover. Now it matches its new home perfectly.
