Blue Bird~ Pincushion

Back by popular demand...Ta da da....
It's been a while...I finally finished another sweet little birdie on a spoon. The pincushion is covered in vintage laces. I added vintage velvet pink flowers and old buttons. Glittered Pin tops.
Pat Winters hand dyed the beautiful silk ribbon. For Valentines I added a beautiful flowered heart. This is listed on Ebay . If interested please click HERE

Bluebird & Blackberries

I thought I would share this watercolor painting with you. It is on very heavy watercolor paper.

I had a "moment" this week. We got a new bed, our bed was on a wooden platform. I thought it might be nice to have it put on a metal frame, (so I could stash more lace and buttons!) Well, while I in the bedroom my husband kindly brought in the metal frame and sat it on the floor in front of the bedroom door. Right then the cat chose to make an exit outside (he is strictly an indoor cat). We keep a can of cat food in the kitchen for when this happens. So, my husband hollars...GET THE CAN OF CAT FOOD!! So I run out of the bedroom, stub my toe on the metal frame and down I went...I hurt my left arm pretty bad and 3 days later I am soooo sore!! Well, the new bed is on the platform...forget that metal frame!! LOL Laurie
