my own horn...

Have you seen the new flower pins in the shop? I love making them, the wee bits of fabric slowly turning into ruffled shapes, choosing the right color of beads to finish them off... It's nice to know there's something so pretty to do with my fabric scraps! This batch is all bobby pins, but I have done them with brooch pins before as well, but the bobby pins always get the most attention when people see them in person, so I've stuck with that for now. I do hope you like them!


I always get compliments on mine when I wear one, I bet you'll have the same luck! They're just so nice pinned up in one's hair. Simple and sweet.

I wish I could have gotten a shot of me wearing one for you, but it JUST wouldn't work out today, soon though, promise!

Thar She Blooms!

One of my favorites.



And since they need ants' help to open and bloom, it does make me appreciate the little buggers a whole lot more! (did you notice the one in the first photo?)
I planted a few more in the front yard, and will have to move this one in the fall, I think she's not getting enough light, there's only this bloom, and no other buds to speak of.

And look what I got this weekend!

Next month, the workshop! Hooray for learning new things! I can't wait to share this new project!

Hooray Hooray Huzzah!

A new experiment

Oof, tried to post these photos this morning before work but the photos would not load up as lickity-splickity as I needed them too. So here's what I was thinking about this morning.

I wish you were here to see the sun on these yourself, it is stunning.


mmmm... green.
