Another Year Older!

I just wanted to stop in and say hi. I feel so guilty for not blogging,

 but I know I will find the time to be more creative soon. Lilly is eighteen months and to be honest I am really just enjoying watching her grow and adjusting to my ever changing routine. I do find a few moments here and there for the creative side of life, but they are few. I can already tell Lilly has a creative spirit, she is starting to color with crayons. She loves color and the brighter the better. A little Sea Gypsy for sure!

Simple Pleasures

While sitting at my computer this morning and looking around at the warm glow that surrounded me, my thoughts were about simple pleasures. I enjoy sitting at my computer and reading my favorite blogs. I look forward to this time of the morning. Simple Pleasures!

This is my Autumn display that sits next to my computer. Its time to change out the pumpkins and dig into those many Christmas decorations I adore or maybe make something new. Simple Pleasures!

A Little Tikes Swing goes Boho

I Just love granny squares! We had lots of wind as Sandy passed, but everything stayed in place. 

Hi! It has been a long time since my last post. I am still creating when I can find the time. What is taking up my time you ask? My granddaughter Sea Gypsy Lilly!

I had so many crafty ideas to share this Halloween, but it will have to wait until next year. Lilly just turned one a few weeks ago. The bottles are gone and a sippy cup takes its place. She is walking, really good may I add. She is my little miracle and blessing sent from heaven. 

God decided at the age of fifty, I needed another job, raising Lilly. The last few years have really been hard. I really do not want to get into details about why I am raising my granddaughter, I am just so thankful. She is mending broken hearts and fills the house with her laughter.

How to make!

You might be surprised that the little flower sprig all started with the leaves. It started out with just wanting a vine of leaves for the fairy house I am working on. One thing leads to another and this is the end result.

                                                                                                                                                                                          

Making my own flowers for fairy houses

What I am doing in the studio you ask. I know, you did not ask, but I will tell you anyway. I am so proud of myself because I was in the studio by five-thirty each morning this week. I am making little fairy houses and furniture. I needed some flowers to go on the little houses, so I decided to make them myself. I am having to be a little more thrifty these days. I try to stay out of the craft stores as much as possible, because I want every thing I see! I will go in for one thing and will come out with way more than I intended on buying.




My next post will be a tutorial on how I did it. I really like how it turned out, but the next one I would like to be a little more dainty, so in order to achieve that, smaller gauge wire for a smaller stem.
