Tussie Mussie


I just finished this American cone. I will be putting it on my Etsy board.


A close up of the top.

Altered Bottle

This is my newest altered bottle. It is on my Etsy board. The bottle is old and I spray painted it to look like mercury glass. It has a lot of different embellishments on it. I thought it turned out good.

My Gardens


A bumblebee on my milk weed. I have lots of this growing for the Monarch butterfly.


I am so pleased with all the colors my hydrangea bush has this year.

This is a picture of my purple clematis climbing up the front of my porch. I'm not sure how I got this off center. But I did.

I picked a bunch of my hydrangea's from the garden. I also did the vase.


This is a updated picture of my one vignette by my shed. I can't believe how it grew. But we have been having a lot of rain and hot weather.


A picture of my garden taken from the street. The wheelbarrow is doing great also. In front of it is my bee balm.


I have three birdbaths in the gardens for the birds, but in this one I have vintage rose petunias, planted.


I just love hollyhock's, and this one is beautiful. So this is an updated  post of my gardens. As you can tell, I love gardening. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Baby Birds


A Robin built a nest in my firethorn bush, right out side my living room window. So I had a birds eye view of her building the nest, laying the eggs and hatching the babies and feeding them until they left the nest. This is when they first hatched.


A few days later.


The day before they left the nest. They left before they should have.


This was from a different nest, but it followed me every where I went. So I got my camera and told it to pose, and it looked right at me. It was so cute.
