Me:
Skirt and belt: handmade
Plaid blouse and bracelet: Dots
Pin and purse: vintage

Just a Few Things


 I have had a slow summer when it comes to thrifting,
but I did find a great vintage Avon crewel kit
for just 69 cents!


Have I reached my quota for cute bunny photos?


Or cute kitty photos....
Smoke thinks this chair is his!

Bye for now!

Everlasting Bouquet


I wanted to put some flowers in this little pitcher,
but didn't want to worry about my kitty getting into them,
and I wanted something that would last.
So I added chenille stems to some crocheted flowers
I'd made, and plopped them in. 
I think I love it!
Might add a few more when I get a chance.
 
Bye for now!

On My Work Table


 Just some pix of my work table this week,
always messy, but in a colorful way.


Also making tiny figures for my next chalet pin,
can you guess what they are for?
I draw them out on fabric 
and carefully cut them out.
 

Bye for now!

Is It a Good Day for a Tea Party?


My latest creation is another fairy tale design, 
this time Alice in Wonderland!
It was a natural to use Alice and the White Rabbit
for a weather house pin,
because you need to know if the weather
will be suitable for a Mad Tea Party!
 

Look for it in my shop!
Bye for now!

Natural Beauty


 Sometimes I forget how pretty hostas can be 
when they bloom!

 I was so thrilled to see this pretty goldfinch
on my clothes line,
let alone get a pic of him!


 And lastly, a shot of the young bunny 
on a cold rainy day.


Bye till Monday!

Sketches of the Week

Still in a Christmas and winter mood with my art, and still working on my technique with gouache. It's a much trickier medium than I ...
