How does your garden grow?

How is your garden growing?

My garden is a little sparse during the winter but I do have a little color in the flower beds.

Some of my lavendar is shooting up and blooming so I cut a few sprigs and placed them around the yard.

A pretty mix of geranium's are showing their true colors.

I placed my over-sized birds nest on the front bench hoping for Spring to come sooner then later.

My silly little gnome kicking back with out a care in the world.

Button, Button who's got the button?

This quote has been stuck in my head for quite awhile! Ha-Ha

I bought this pretty pillow at a flea market a few months ago and the button went missing right away.

Now a new hunt was on to find a replacement button for the pillow. I looked in button jars I had on hand and kept my eyes open while shopping but I couldn't find anything I liked.

Last night while helping my Mom get ready for her next trade show it hit me...

Forget the button, my Mom has a big stack of miniature doilies! 

A fun and creative idea I wanted to share with you all today.  

I stacked three treasured books and added a blue book on the bottom to draw your eye towards the sofa.

A little pop of color in the purple glass door knob and pretty pink blooming primroses combined add a simple artful change to the setting.

Here's an instragram photo below of what I was designing last night for Jodees Inc 

Whimsical burlap sling bags using Sealah no sew adhesive tape.

Finding creativity in the details...

Have a wonderful week,

Love of Aprons

My love of aprons began as a child...

I am so pleased to announce I have been published in Stampington & Company: Apron-ology!

This apron I designed was inspired by a tea towel made by sweet Jenny from Orange House Gardens.

Of course, I had so much fun adding each element with Sealah No Sew Tape  to the apron.

Thank you so much to the very talented editor Beth Livesay for selecting my story and project for your artful inspiring magazine!

If you would enjoy reading more about my fond childhood memories and creative apron details...
