Progress Update! And more popsicle stick goodness!

Okay, Little Duckies, I think I've bitten off more than I can chew this time. Rather, I think I've started too many projects at once. I've been concentrating most of my efforts on finishing the "renewal" of an old jewelry box. I've covered it in popsicle sticks (I can't seem to get enough of those) and I've given it a white base coat. It has taken more time to finish than I planned (and the project has taken out many eyeballs-- flying popsicle sticks!) and I hate to say it, but I'm a little burned out for the time being. Here are some sneak peaks of my progress thus far:

The jewelry box had a few scuffs, a few knicks, and a few knacks. But I still loved it. It had a certain.... Je ne sais quoi!

After some careful plotting (meaning I was just playing with the wood scraps given to me by Mrs. Sonja) I arranged the little wooden gems into a design on the top of the box. 

And now, in the dim twilight, I have given my creation its first coat of paint. If I am, by chance, so enamored with the white paint, the box may stay that way. 

I know you are waiting with baited breath for the results. I know I am! But for now, this little snippet post will have to do. Until we meet again, I leave you with some yarn wine bottle appreciation (courtesy of my coworkers and manager).
