All Things Crafty

Here's a few different projects I put together -- really different.
Enjoy the variety!
The first one is covered styrofoam cones with yarn and a spray of different shaped mini beads. I got this idea from
Just a Girl. I think she used cardboard cones if I remember. Whatever works
for you. It would be cute with mini shamrocks or mini Easter eggs, too. Thin cork coasters work well for the base.




I saw something similar at one of the craft stores and tried to duplicate it. Very much Fall.



My favorite little family. Cute, huh ?



Good old Hobby Lobby. Love that place.



I'm taking this out for spring (you remember that, don't you ?) and found this wall hanging vase. Also, I just love the color red.

Home Sweet Home

I happen to live in a townhouse and we have certain restriction on what we can and can't do on the exterior of our homes.
These pictures are so lovely and I would give anything for a few gallons of paint, some beautiful lamps and decorations for the
door. So, I guess I will just enjoy these lovelies from afar.



This one happens to be my favorite.



... and this one



Oh, yes, and this one



Can't forget this house



Oh, heaven's, I just love them all. Don't you ?

For Bird Lovers

Don't you just love to get pictures in the mail ? know I do, especially from a friend in Australia. Here are some for you that I just got in the mail yesterday and posted them for you to see and enjoy the glorious color of the birds. They are called King Parrot's. I never knew. I don't remember having seen such glorious color ever around my area.








Now the big Wallaby, I don't know just how friendly he is not living there every day. if I saw him near my mailbox, I think I would just take the easy way out and faint.
It's all in getting familiar with the harmless ones, I guess. Me, personally I like dogs ! Birds are fun to watch, too.

It's such a different way of living and one that I am so fascinated with. It's been fun learning how others live with their different animals. Enjoy the colors !




ps Thanks for sending these !

I Love Houses

I'm not a downtown girl much, but there are times I do have to go there. My reason is that I do not enjoy driving with all the speedy drivers on the road, but that's for another day. It's not a long drive, but a pretty one, especially if I don't take the expressway.
Here are a few homes in one area that I just love to drive by and dream. I think you could find one to love............








This front and side yards are completely filled with flowers.







The flowers look great under the large window.


Now I'm close to downtown so the camera goes back in my bag.

My Next Project

On my other blog, I posted some pictures of a Homearama near here. I took pictures of living rooms, kitchens, and dining rooms. Here is one of the laundry. I just love the crispness of the colors. It' a happy room that you would love to be in while folding, etc




The second one is a computer room. Tell me, if you were in the buying mode, would you like your computer room near the entrance ? I love the way it is decorated. I don't know about you but I have papers all over the place and I never could keep it
this neat. To me, this is perfection !
