Life with my 4 kids

This is what I woke up to this morning!! I couldnt figure out how the kitties get my birdies, I keep the ones Im working on under lock and key! The ones I have made I put on this shelf...that is where this one was...so when I came into the office this morning I found Whitie up on top of the bookcase...he scoots down and can land inside this shelf!!!! I WATCHED him!! but of course I had to get my camera ready...and he was inside before I could get a photo! Well, the LOVE pins!So they scoot the pin box off the desk until if falls off, and opens!! Looks a little bare on top! Yup, they have knocked everything down!
Look at the tail on this little one!!

Yesterday I had no time to myself...Stacey had to have help posting notices on all the doors at all of her complexes, then Laundry, then I helped her fix her dinner (she cant open a can or bottle), then there is my hubby, he was like a little boy starting his first day of school. He started his new job this morning and had to take a lunch...he hasnt had to take a lunch for years!! He had to make sure his clothes were laid out...it was pretty funny, I'm thinking "how old are you???" But, its nice and quiet around here this morning. aaaaaah. nice cup a Jo and a little time on the computer, what a nice way to start my day....after picking up after the kitties!! LOL. I feel like I have 4 kids...stacey, hubby and the 2 crazy kitties.

Birdies and Teacups for ebay

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQrdZ0QQsassZgstuff101

I couldnt have a TEA PARTY! All these Birdies flew into town and took over my cups!!lol

I've been busy...I have made a few birdies in teacups,this little cream colored bird was perfect for this tiny cup and saucer that just shouted out AUTUMN. The colors are so warm. I went through my stash of buttons and found this great old button and old velvet leaves. I added some vintage pearls and my sparkly topped pins.

The middle tea cup is trimmed in a pretty purple color. I added some vintage millinery flowers and spritzed it all with my glimmer mist.The top is a beautiful vintage cup and saucer that I added a soft pink bird that is joyously sing. I dyed the sprig of berrys to match the flowers on the cup. One of these days I will have to learn how to show a picture and have what it is under it. I thought I could do it, but no...I got all the pictures and then all the writing here at the bottom...can anyone help??? Natasha??? (she helps me with all my blogging issues!) Well, check these all out on my ebay you're interested. Thanks!!

Family Photo

Well, my babies are leaving their nest, it is an exciting time for me and them. I thought I would take a couple of family portraits before they fly off to California. Thanks to all of you that have left such kind comments and encourgement!! I love you all!!

Pearls of Wisdom

How charming did this turn out? I really struggled to get the right ribbon. If the tails were to long, you couldnt see the pearls so I made it so the tails went up. First I had a solid double sided satin pink ribbon, but it covered everything up. This is a special order from Stephanie, for her daughters wedding. Her wedding colors are Pink and Brown. Hope she likes it. Have you heard of Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels? I bought a bottle of Iridescent Gold, Pearl, Pink Bubblegum. I gave this little bird a spritz of the Pearl and it gives it hint of sparkle, not like glitter but more like a shimmer. I think I'll be buying more colors!

Pink, Mint Green Birds on spoon

I finally got this finished for Wendy over in Australia. I painted her a new paint can with a blue bird, roses and hydrangias, she wanted mint green and pink birdies on the "spoonful of sugar" pincushion which was made using vintage lace and old shell buttons. The postcard was made with white fabric that I stamped with a music stamp. I handpainted the little blue bird which is holding a sparkly thread to the heart. It also has vintage lace and buttons. I finished it off by doing a blanket stitch
