With Moms in Mind--A Garden Full of Memories

Hi Everyone~

As you can see, I have been busy creating Mother's Day pieces for my Etsy shop. The latest is this "Shabby Cottage Garden."

I design for Shabby Cottage Studio and the wooden shrine that it was created with is one of their products from their awesome on-line store!

Lots of shabby goodness here in addition to a nest and eggs--perfect for someone who enjoys their garden and would like to bring "the outside" in!

Here is a mixed-media, silver-toned bezeled bracelet from my shop...It was created with images from Madame Tussaud's Museum Collection.

This one of a kind piece is like wearing a virtual garden on your wrist! This is the only bezeled bracelet left in my shop.

So many of our moms inspire us--so, I wanted to create this piece with an image from Dezinaworld where I am on the Design Team. The image of the girl is from their Spring collection. The background is theirs, as well.

I have a question for you~Do you have any special memories from your childhood of your mom in her garden?

As for me, I remember when it rained, my mom would break off little pieces of bread and put them on the fence around our house so that the birds would not go hungry because of inclement weather. That was such a sweet thing to do!

A special blog event is starting on Sunday--so, please come back and take a look!

A "Pink" Surprise!

Hi Everyone~

Many of you know Beverly at How Sweet the Sound who hosts Pink Saturday. Well...I wanted to surprise her with some goodies as a "thank you" for all she does...First, I created this pink birdhouse...

I design for Shabby Cottage Studio. I used one of their images in Photoshop and personalized it for Beverly.

Then, it was time to create this tag using the image and other embellishments...If you click on the picture, you can see all the details of this virtual garden.

So much fun to make!

And then, finally a little metal pail with the same graphic all glittered.

A Faerie Garden of Delights

Hi Everyone~

I created this piece for "Faerie Week" here on my blog...

and I had no sooner completed her than she went on her

way to my friend Sonya's house....

And she became a part of her beautiful vignette!

(This picture is from Sonya's blog. Notice the

precious nest.)

Sonya's blog is Counting My Blessings and I hope you'll

visit her to see all of her amazing creations.

The faerie image is from Shabby Cottage Studio!

And today I have been busy creating this collection of

tags that I entitled "The Garden Variety."

They've got birds and eggs and flowers and all kinds

of springtime joy!

To see more details, just click on any picture.

And I made holders for them to be nestled in...and

guess what I made the holders out of? I made them

out of coffee filters...and then decorated those

with my designs cut from my new Cricut machine.

(But, I must tell you that I have not figured out

how to use it yet...My husband cut them out for

me--my hero!)

I hope you are having a beautiful day and have time to explore

your garden path. May your dreams take flight as if on the

wings of faeries!
