Happy Mother's Day

Wishing everyone a happy Mother's Day!

Waiting to be Painted

I love a good make over. It could be on a person, a room or in this case a three tier flower holder. I am not sure what to call it and I have not had my coffee yet. Maybe something will come to me later. I found this in my parents backyard. My father has so many things in the yard it is like a visit to a small flea market. I always seem to come home with something. Remember the iron headboard? This was my Grandfather's. I took the picture yesterday and planned on painting it today. However it is raining and this will have to wait until the weekend.

It is all about Me

Quick post, since today is all about me. It is my birthday. The sun is out and it seems like it will be a nice spring day. I think I am going out for lunch and maybe a little shopping. I do know that I intend to sit on my swing and enjoy an iced coffee and maybe read a magazine. Have a nice day everyone.

Cell phone Holder

Still working on things for the Etsy shop. At the rate I am going it should be open by the end of the month. It is funny how housework and errands and life can get in the way of sewing and paper crafting. I wish that I could go away for a weekend and just be creative. I am thinking maybe a tropical location. Well, that would be another post. This is a cell phone holder that I made. I made a few of these last summer and gave them to friends. I love making the yo yos and adding the buttons. Okay, I am easily amused. Off to finish the dishes, have lunch and run errands. Sewing, will have to wait until later this evening.

Lovely to look At

It is funny how during the spring you wait for all your plants and trees to show signs of blooming. Sometimes the blooms are gone before they can even be appreciated. We planted the bush and tree about 22 years ago. Others were not so lucky and had to be removed last fall. I am looking forward to a few new plants in the front beds. After a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia in 1984 and loving all the brick walks, my husband and I layed the bricks for our front walk. Talk about not knowing what you were doing. But 24 years later they are still in place.

Have a nice Weekend

I have been very busy making things. I am trying to build up some inventory before I set up my Etsy site. I like to add yo yo's to some of the things I make. I like to sew them when I am watching television at night. Well these must be sewn on to the tissue holders. Have a nice weekend.

I have been tagged

6. I am very unorganized and see no change in that, no matter how hard I try
