I was informed by my kiddos that I needed to offer options when it comes to Among Us.

Here’s a couple based on the player’s requests. Glitter and character color is also totally up to you!

Among us got jolly 🎅

Apparently “Among Us” is the latest and greatest 🤷‍♀️

Just a few customs that have been ordered the past week. If you are planning on ordering (even if just to hold your place), I’d do it sooner than later.

Each year, I close out the order window earlier and earlier.

We are officially in full swing with the sparkly balls!

Each ornament comes with its own gift box, too!!!

21/09/2020

Hey all, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here.
I’m back with this season’s sparkly balls.
As always, I am accepting custom work in addition to the designs that put a smile on many people’s faces.

I’m currently nailing down the glass ornament supplier. Once I have that set, I’ll be able to determine the finished ornament cost for you.

If you are not local to me and require shipping, please order no later than November 1, as shipping times have increased due to Rona. .....
2020, you have not been kind.
But, it’s time to add some sparkle and shine to this dumpster fire of a year.
Officially taking orders for this year’s sparkly balls!

18/07/2018

This measures 17” high and 20” wide and is available for $60 (shipping is additional).

We interrupt this ramp up to spring to remind you all that spring sports season is here!!!!

This piece is 12x24 and can be customized by team color and of course family name. Thinking ahead, this would be a great coach’s gift.
Baseball families...don’t worry, working on a version for you, too!

Sassy McSasserson gets a cute hat, Chaser gets a sign with a few of his favorite things 🤣😂🤣
What a wild ride we got for last night’s game. So grateful today for this amazing team that came together in faith and brotherhood to deliver a championship we’ve been dreaming about for years. Cannot wait to celebrate again on Thursday!!!

05/02/2018

Some people said it was bad luck to make Eagles hats before they won.
I call it faith and good planning.
See you at the parade...in style!
FLY 🦅 FLY
THANKS FOR THE BEST GAME EVER!!!

Hi Friends!
First, I want to thank each of you who have made Ely’s Easel what it is today. Without you, there would be less color in backyards, rooms and weddings. You see, most of the posts that have been coming your way all this time have been spear headed by friends who became clients and many clients that I am now blessed to call friends. Some projects have been crazy challenging or just make me smile and laugh like the “You’re my lobster” piece that was completed earlier this week.

With that being said, I need to make it perfectly clear that this is a business. Because of the lack of courtesy from some, of you are a new client, I will be asking for 50% deposit prior to any work commencing. I just can no longer pop on a new client’s FB, see that they are a mutual friend with someone that I know and trust and get to work. Within the past 2 months, I have completed a few projects based on messages only to have my returning message ignored. That’s time and material that I cannot get back.

For everyone that’s been my biggest cheerleaders, it’s business as usual!

Sorry to be Debbie Downer today, but us small business peeps gotta do what we gotta do.

And...if you love this piece, I can recreate it in time for you to gift it to your lobster. It measures about 8x10 and is made from reclaimed barn wood. Message me for the deets!

Fly Eagles Fly shotski, just in time for pregame shenanigans.
$45 and can be delivered to the 19001 and surrounding area by game day.

When a convo with a new friend goes from “wait, you make stuff?” to cricut labels to Young Living essential oils to shot skis, I knew I was going to have a great time with the latest project.

Friends, meet the SHOT SKI. The latest offering thanks to my pal MW.

I ❤️ how it turned out and can’t wait to deliver it tomorrow.

Guess what? I got two more waiting in the wings that are available for immediate personalizing. I’m thinking FLY EAGLES FLY would look fabulous, don’t you? $45 and will deliver to around the 19001 in time for the game on Sunday.

Happy New Years to everyone! I hope everyone had a fabulous holidays and are ready to take 2018 by the horns!
For us, we are setting our intentions to purging, cleaning, reorganizing and keeping ourselves above the wellness line!
The first project of the new year is in the books and we are so happy we broke the ice with getting the wellness keepers (our Young Living essential oils) organized and within reach for easy access.
With the exception of the hardware that was purchased to hang all the things, every single detail is repurposed. The shelves, thankful sign & Proverbs quote are reclaimed barn wood that Craig brought home from a remodel a few years ago. The snowman was a left over piece of wood from our basement. The wooden box, mason and apothecary bottles are salvaged from Craig’s Grandparent’s home.
With this mixture of old and new, we are putting our best forward for the year. We are excited for what’s to come and share what’s in store for the year!

07/12/2017

Happy Thursday everyone!
Lots of Sparkly Balls are complete and I will be sending out messages later this afternoon and this evening.
If you don’t get a message tonight, don’t fret, yours will be complete by Wednesday (or Thursday at the latest).
I’m also working on custom signs that have been ordered for holiday gift giving and special events coming up. I’m currently OBSESSED with this one and I know I’ll be making one for our living room in the new year.
Love it too? Let me know and I’ll make it happen in January!!

01/12/2017

Current situation! All unicorns will be complete by the time the Eagles 🦅 take the field on Sunday night!
Many other ornaments are getting there. If your order is complete, look out for a message from me!!!!!
In the meantime, saving my sanity with my trusty Young Living diffuser pumping out the most magical essential oils on the planet!

Friends! Every year I am blown away by the response I get from you all during this time of year!
Because of this love from you all, I am close to max capacity to accept new orders. The last day to place orders for Christmas delivery is this Friday, November 17.
I'm also posting what is now my most requested ornament ever. The mane can be pretty much any color and personalized with name and year.
If you already reserved your balls, please send me your info ASAP!
Orders will not go on the to do list by commenting. Please send me a message ❤️

🤙 Do what you love and you'll never "work" a day in your life.

There's been an explosion of orders this week and I'm close to hitting my max. If you want to secure your spot for Glitter and Glass 2017 message me! Orders will no longer be accepted through comments or posting on the page wall. Messages only!

05/10/2017

Well, friends, we are once upon our time to plan for the holidays and get our Sparkly selves together! I am officially opening up ordering for this year's custom orders for ornaments. Just like last year, they will range from $12-$17 each depending on the level of details you want on the ornament. I will have 2 types of ornaments this year, traditional round or disc (the disc will be about 3 inches in diameter). I will close out ordering for all ornaments on Wednesday, November 22. Orders will only be accepted through messaging Ely's Easel via messenger. Leaving a comment with your order will only be lost in the shuffle.

So, when you message me, this is what I will need from you:
Your name
Sphere or disc ornament
Color glitter
What you want painted on the ornament.
Please double check any spelling/year before you submit it as this is what I will be working off of for every order.
Once your order is received, I will let you know the price of each ornament and an approximate completion time.

With a change in the seasons, it is definitely time for a change and switch in gears.

My partner in crime/ hubby/ master co****le builder has been blessed with a windfall of opportunity with his business. With this blessing comes little or no time to craft co****le boards and enjoy life with our kiddos at the same time. So, for now, corn holes will be taking a back seat for Ely's Easel. We want to thank each and every one of you for allowing us to take your back yards and tailgating to a higher level!

As the seasons change, we do, too. I am going to continue to post projects that you, my personal cheering section, have come to expect. Something that will put a smile on your face and maybe give you inspiration for a project in your home or for a gift for a loved one. I truly appreciate this platform you have given me to start sharing another aspect of our home that we have been loving hard over the past year and a half. In this, we have grown in good health and emotional well being. We are sleeping better, ditching toxins and just making our little world a better place to live. Some of the posts will feature pieces that you have ordered and some will be something that I just felt needed to be created and will be available to you. Side by side, I will share something that may be new to you from Young Living. It may be a quick tip on how we clean up after an afternoon of painting or how we thrive through the school year when cooties are running amuck! I'm truly looking forward to the next chapter for Ely's Easel and I can't wait to share what I have up my sleeve!

29/08/2017

I cannot believe I'm posting this because I'm resisting all things pumpkin, but I am!
It's that time again to start thinking Sparkly Balls! I'm trying to gage my supplies, so if you know you will be placing an order, please comment here! The hand sparkled/hand painted ornaments will range from $13 to $20 based on the level of details.
The last 3 years I have sold out before Thanksgiving so if you don't want to miss the boat, comment below to secure your spot!!!!

Good morning friends! I hope this post finds you all well as we begin the last full week of July. Honestly, I can't' believe August is almost here. It's been a great summer so far with family and friends and we are looking forward to even more adventures before the kiddos head back to school.
I'm so excited to share the latest project, one that was months in the making. In seven weeks, a sleepaway camp in NY will be transformed into Camp Jasey where the bride and groom will be welcoming their loved ones for a fun filled wedding weekend. Guests will be welcomed each morning with a list of activities written on the 48x36 chalkboard and I'm sure there will be plenty of co****le tournaments thanks to the 3 sets that are adorned with a custom logo just for the wedding. Once it's reception time, guests will find their seat easily with placecards that will be hung with care. I cannot wait to see the end result once my friend A.C. Gets her creative hands on it.
I also want to extend a special thanks to A.C. & J.M. For being Absolutely fabulous to work with! Mazel Tov!!!!

Happy Summer one and all! Hope your days are full of sunshine! It's been quiet here on this page only because I'm balancing a number of things: the dynamic duo (my kiddos) are on break and are having the best summer with their friends, completing a huge wedding order and managing my growing Young Living business. I'm having a blast but miss sharing my projects!
Here are just 2 pieces for the wedding that are almost complete. All that's missing are the ribbons so they can hang on the bride and groom's chairs.

When you show up on your Instagram feed...but you didn't post it yourself. Goosebumps!!!!
Thank you to all the co****le peeps out there! You know who you are ;)

Friends! I hate to do this, but I have received the maximum number of orders we can deliver in a timely manner for now. Everyone who is confirmed has gotten confirmation via messenger.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your continued support!

After thousands and thousands of stitches and probably enough yarn to wind around the earth 🌏 and then some, I have decided to officially hang up the crochet hook for profit.
I realized about 1/2 way through this last project that the passion for it was no longer there. And that weighed heavy on my heart. You see, my Grandmom was a master with the hook and I learned the skill when I was expecting Chase, long after she passed. I was able to make a 'yockie" for him and then a "yaya" for my daughter. From there, I stumbled into a home based biz that allowed me to be home with my babies. I was able to balance crochet and painting and many opportunities opened up from there with local shops and then the Philly Home Shows. The scale has tipped to painting and I just need and want to give it the attention it deserves. I also want to still love doing crochet projects for the special people in my life and to also pay it forward.
To all of you out there who have worn one of my hats or wrapped yourself in a blanket, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Onto the next chapter!

It's official! Co****le building/painting is underway for the season and here are the first two sets!
My apologies for the less than stellar pics, but the backyard is not dry enough to set the sets out!
I have 2 sets of boards built, primed and ready for details.
