And idea I saw in a magazine..



Well.... I did manage to do something for myself the other day.... I went to the thrift store:) Hey- For anyone who knows me this is a treat. I do plan on doing a blog post soon about the books I picked up- Yes! I am addicted to books.... Even managed to run into the bookstore yesterday to buy ONE magazine and bought a cat book too, because of another blog post that will come in time. A little while ago I decided (with myself) that this was and still needs to be my HAPPY place.... so. This year I am going to try and keep it that way. OK.....

So... I did buy a magazine called Flea Market Gardens- Something that is Right up my alley... but while I was there- I scanned through a few others and saw something like this: and well.... You know how that goes... I had to come home and put the pieces together myself:)


I really wish I knew where I saw it so I could give credit where credit is due... But I love the idea:)



I still have several urns around here that I never got around to listing and I do believe there is one doll head in Etsy?



But this little fella is going in the glass house..... that one day, too will get finished:)

Hello Out There...

Thought I'd stop by and let everyone know I'm still around.... Just been caught up in the real world. When I know more about that, I'll let you know....but tonight...

Tonight! I wanted to drop off these 2 pictures...
We will call these my Valentine's Day Birdhouses.... Yes! Because they're Pink!
I found these chair legs at the dollhouse store and knew I needed to make some girlie birdhouses with them. I should have them listed by tomorrow in Etsy...maybe.....but you know me...always a day late...

I really love how these turned out and am wishing it was the summer time and that I had more flowers in the garden to take pictures with.....

I have one more pink one that has a faucet, but I can't seem to find my gesso to age the faucet.... Story of my life. I wish I had a 'find it' person here- It really would save me a lot of time- I swear they could spend all day just looking for things I've misplaced....


I have a pile of little birdhouses here, too. First it was Christmas Birdhouses- those still need to be finished.... Then I made some for Valentine's- those got finished, but not listed.... Can I get a person to go behind me and make me finish things, too.... lol. And then I need someone else to just spend the day listing all the stray items I have around here- from the bags of handmade polymer clay beads down to the last sign I have..... I am so behind.... And then... as someone asked me today- what about me?

I haven't done anything for myself lately.... Sometimes I'll make things and fall in love and not want to part with them- like I am the with the pink Valentine's Birdhouses.... but No.. right now... I'm not working on anything for me..... Other than working on me. But we'll talk about that later, lol.




So Until Next Time.....
