In Memory Of....

There is no explanation as to why the tragic event in Boston happened today.  My prayers go out to all who experienced that tragedy.

God is so much bigger than anything we can imagine and HE knew this was going to happen.  Our human side is always trying to figure out why stuff like this happens and why God allows it to happen.  All I can say is who am I to question.  I am but a small tiny human among God's creation.  The reality is that HE allows things to happen for HIS glory no matter what we think!  Christians, keep seeking HIM a midst the storms!

These finds are inspired by those hurting.

April Showers Bring May Flowers - Right?

Out where I am in the Pacific NW, we are experiencing the rain before the beauty!  Things are wanting to come out and bloom but the rain and gray is still here.  This is totally expected but sometimes can make your day a gloomy one so it is for this reason that I post these colorful finds for your enjoyment!  I need the enjoyment of color as I look forward to the beauty of Spring at my own home!


This is a 24" wreath, made from lime green and Hot pink deco mesh. There are pink, lime green and yellow Gerber daisies tucked in with some white filler flowers near to add to the beauty. greenery is also added to this Spring wreath as well as a beautiful pink butterfly and a glittery hot pink lady bug at the bottom. There is a lot going on in this wreath. It would make a beautiful door or wall wreath from Spring through Summer!



Cross Stitch Blank Cards, Spring Themed Cards, Easter Cards, Handstitched Cards -Set of 3

All cards are ready for giving as is but purposely left blank so that you can add further embellishments such as stamped greetings, buttons, bows, corner cuts, etc. All designs are hand stitched on 14 ct. cotton Aida. I have frayed the edges to frame the design. 

Bright colors for this season's trends - this bracelet was made to complement your Spring and Summer wardrobe! 

I featured three of the colors from the Spring 2013 Pantone Color Palette - Red Coral, Tender Shoots (light green) and Lemon Zest. The colors are bright and fresh and are reflected in the crystals, as well as the acrylic leaves that dangle from the bracelet.

Sweet handmade flower hair clip and brooch.

Made of cotton fabric，simple and beautiful.






A little bit retro, a little bit now -- this bright, happy print called "Sunny Daze" is a winner for spring and summer. Shades of blue, turquoise, and lime blend with white for a refreshing mix of colors that will bring a smile to the face of all who see it. Three outer pockets hold all the stuff you need in a hurry -- cell phone, keys, etc. -- while three inner pockets and a roomy center section hold all the rest. Bright lime lining also trims the outer pockets and the button flower at center front. A magnetic snap keeps it all closed up.







This ornate Easter Egg measures 4 1/2" x 3"! It can add a little color to any plant, lamp, wall, window or garden! Made from a beautiful Iridescent Pink Wispy, Purple Pink Iridescent Wispy, Sea Green Wispy and a Turquoise Iridescent Wispy. Swarovski Crystals and embellishments have been added to give this Egg wonderful swirls and design. A curved hanger is added for hanging with a beautiful corresponding ribbon.

The Tiffany method was used on this piece, meaning it was foiled and hand leaded by me. All items are polished and protected with a finishing compound before shipping.

Happy April Fool's Day

The origin of April Fool's day has many fooled!  In other words, there really isn't one origin that can be given the credit for this day.  What many believe is that it began from from foolery back in the 12th century.  In the long run, it really doesn't matter what the origin.

Have you been the victim of April Fool's?

While you think about that I hope you enjoy these finds!

This birdfeeder is handcrafted out of pine and hand painted with acrylic paints. 

Steve builds the feeder and then I take it and carve the roof to look like shingles. Then we putty it and sand it to make sure the seams are as finished as possible. Our next step is Steve spraying the bird feeder with a clear coat to seal it.Then I take it to my studio and prime it with a primer. Next, I get to paint it any way I want and I have fun with it. The last step is to take it back out to our shop and Steve gives it another six coats of clear coat so that it can be put outside and used by the birds.

Many people have questioned whether the birds would use it if there are so many colors on the feeder. I now have proof, my brother-in-law showed us a picture of a little nut hatch eating out of his.

Feminine Flower Necklace in Pink with Crystal Accents and Rose Alexandrite

I adore flowers and, when I saw these flower beads created by BeeTreeByMe, I just knew I had to have them so I could create something wonderful with them. It took several attempts to find just the right way to present the beautiful pink and ivory flower that is the centerpiece of this necklace. Finally, I woke up one morning with an idea of just the perfect design.

As I mentioned before, the polymer clay flower and matching beads are the creation o fBeeTreebyMe.etsy.com. To create the remainder of the necklace, I used Rose Alexandrite beads, two large pink faceted crystal twist beads, and pink and white glass seed beads.
