In honor of spring...I painted this darling metal flowers. I just had to paint a few dew drops (or rain drops, in our case, living in Oregon) on the leaves and petals.
How sweet does she look sitting on top of this pincusion! Just put on my Ebay
This is a 4X5 inch little canvas that I textured. I then made Robins Egg Blue by mixing about 5 colors together.

Hi Laurie,
Congratulations on your article in Somerset Life - it's a wonderful write-up and it really shows off your bird pincushions.
I just adore your birds nest painting - it's gorgeous. Lucky gals to get those pictures.

Hi Laurie! It's great meeting you too!! We wish we had an easy answer to how we got that old barn wood as a backdrop on our blog...BUT, we needed a little professional help to get us started. Our initial blog-creating-frustration lead us first to procrastination, then to shelling out some "coins" to make it all happen. :o) We will definitely ask our designer about the steps he took to get it loaded onto our site.
We moved to the beautiful NW from Long Beach a little over two years ago. Don't miss much about Southern CA except, of course, the Pasadena Flea Market and Botanical Gardens. How long have you been here?

I am so happy to have found your blog! It's a blog jungle out there you know. :) I saw your cute little birdie avatar on a comment in Vicki C blog and clicked! The nest painting is glorious, and all your birdie pincushions make me smile. Happy Spring. ~Aimee
Thanks for the warm welcome...I am finding that I have much to learn; but, it's fun, and so nice to meet all of these great people.
It would be wonderful if you mentioned me in your next post. How exciting!
I was also wondering if you do special-order birdies? I think they would fit perfectly into the decor for my girlfriends baby shower that I am planning. I have made a diaper-cake and thought it would be the perfect perch, plus, I need a topper!!! Let me know what you think.
