Go away bugs!

It's just that time of year when the garden is blooming, and I want to be outside...

But the Mosquitos are terrible.. Lol. I even had to bring Fred in.. He's our only outside kitty- and he's more of a porch monkey than anything:)

Today he's a house cat... Sorry buddy. Your staying inside with us- your little butt is red!

I'm moving at a snails pace over here.. But I'm moving. I got a bad case of ADD. Do a little of this, go look for that, find something pretty, and onto the next project I go.. Forgetting why I ever came in that room to begin with... Ugg. 

I am on a mission. I would like to get these birdhouses done and outta my bed. I do a lot of work here.. I can watch movies and relax. ....... Until Otis or Rufus  or Cleo or u get the idea.. But if I'm sitting- one of them thinks my lap is where they belong. (Yes- Otis just sat down!) He doesn't relealize he's not staying today... I have things to do.. 

Like show you one last picture.. These got listed this morning.. I was gonna sell one and keep one but the I decided to sell them as a set. I hope you like them, too:)

So until next time... I got a kitty to run off:)

Birdhouses are Listed

Just wanted to let you know.. I've begun to list the birdhouses on Etsy. 

This pink one is one of my favorites, too. I just love those dainty little legs.. But I have a heck of of time finding them.. I had ordered some, but when they got here, they were fat and chunky... So I made this:

I think the fatter legs had more of a Halloween look to them. I listed this guy too, but it sold as soon as it was posted. But I still wanted to share it with ya:)

And for those of you who are interested.. I posted 2? Pictures of my finger on my other blog- I'd add a link- but I have no idea how to do that from my phone. Let me know if you can't find it and ill try to help you:)

Until Next Time:)

Coming soon..

In between everything else going on.. I have been working on two new lines of items for the store. One is a bit of a surprise for later... And the other is all kinds of Beach Themed items. 

I thought you'd like to see a bit of what I do. I put a lot of hand work into my birdhouses. Lol- you should of seen the look on my physical therapists face when I told her I do all of this kind of work with an exacto blade:) Danger! I had to explain to her I be more deadly with a machine, lol. 

You can see that I build these houses hollow in hopes that one day a small enough bird might actually come along and move in:) I don't use patterns, so no two end up the same, I measure and cut as I go. And each little house ends up with several layers of paint before its all over, to give it that perfectly aged look.. To make ten houses, it has taken me six separate days. That's why I charge a little bit more from them. And this set is smaller than the normal ones I make:)

All of them got their roofs last night, now I just have to age them again:)

But first, I gotta convince these two to let me get some work done!

...and Rufus

...until next time...
