soo when you were a little girl (or boy…who knows) did y’all ever play with those neon colored panty hose material pony tail holders…totally do not know the name of them. but i played with them and did all sorts of fun finger knitting designs and patterns. well i did the same thing but with a continuous piece of yarn….and about 2 hours later…tada!
what to do with all this yarn? i used it for garland decoration during the holidays, but it’s too fun to just put away. so i used it for my studio corner. we are in an apt and are about to move (maybe) so we didn’t paint the walls (otherwise they would be all sorts of colors!!) sooo a tree will do instead. with some birdie friends. :)
ha. it looks better in person. trust me. oh and the branches are real! lol
i got the fun bird idea from disney over at ruffles and stuff. she is FULL of amazing ideas.
stopping bye to say hello!! hope everyone had a fabulous monday! off to drink some coffee and chat with some of my girlfriends.be blessed.
peace and love

so besides the fact that i might have only gotten an hour of sleep last night, today was amazing. my allergies have been acting up like it’s their job and for some reason i have a hard time breathing through my mouth when i sleep. so long story short, i went through lots of tissues, sneezed myself awake several times, and have chapped lips. lol. but like i said today was awesome.
worship, kid’s church (in the new room!), lunch, hanging with hubby, more church with friends, dinner with friends and family. thought i’d share. :) here’s a new addition to my studio i’d like to share with ya. (ps….i’m calling it my studio even though it’s just a corner and part of a wall at the moment….not much space at the moment, but i am definitely thankful for what i got)
i love my lil pom pom flowers.
not the best lighting, but they make me smile. (maybe tomorrow during the day i can get a better pic)
another thing i love. my lil succulent plant i got last year. this baby was about 4 inches in diameter when i first got it at a local festival. and nooooow it’s about a foot in diameter!!! i am not the best “gardener” but i sure am proud of this plant. she’s blossomed so nicely.
i had a name for her when i first got her. yes, i name my plants. but i forgot. ugh, bad mom. what should i call her?!?! :)
oooone more thing i’d like to share. my molly panda just turned 13!!! ooh man. old lady to the max. but she is still going strong. acts like she’s still a puppy. we are going to have a lil celebration for her. ha
i did get here this super cute doggie pillow. it’s purple…the best part. she’s never had a pillow like this soooo clearly she’s not on the pillow right here because she doesn’t know what to think of it. :) but you can definitely teach an old dog new tricks. she’s a smart one. sooo next pic of her…she will be on it. (hopefully)
that’s all for now. had a great time tonight. looking forward to being with my nieces tomorrow and then my mocha monday girls. busy day. i’m going to post my tree creation that i put up last night. it’s kind of funny. have a great night!!!
peace and love

this room is my fav in the book. love, love, love the colors!!
another vintage hand me down that my grannie made…
lovely matching pot holders!
check out another hand made beauty, tea pot cover, made by my grannie…my mom and her side of the fam are from england. they drink lots of tea. i’m more of a coffee drinker, but i love tea too. plus…i just got this awesome PINK tea pot for only $8!!!
the cover fits perfectly over the pot. motivation to drink more tea. it even whistles. hehe

busy week. i love my work. i don’t really consider it work, although it is, but i love it. :) i have been slacking on some blog love. so here’s a fun one! i had several picture frames and nothing in them. they used to be silver, but for this project i painted them gold. annnnnd threw in some color and a little glitter and bam! fun christmas present to my bestie! we all deserve a chance to fly…..to dream. good mottos. :) love you lady!!! here’s some pics….although i think they look better in person! oooh and i must give some credit to my hubby. he helped with the clouds. :)
loves it! can’t wait til she hangs them up! i want to do one too…hmmm what ever so motivating word should i choose?? what would you choose?? well here’s to a great rest of the week and weekend. excited for the days to come. i have so much to do. starting with cleaning the studio. it’s a mess.
ps. molly was posing for me yesterday….she wanted to show everyone her ball.
she loves that thing. and i love her.
