Garden Case Display

It was sooooooo much fun putting this case together!!!  I almost couldn't stop, there were so many things I found to include!!!  Didn't spend a dime, had all the elements right here.........wicker suitcase held doll clothes in the basement, printables from the Graphics Fairy, garden books in the bookcase, tons of trinkets from my craft hoard..........so whadda ya think????

I wired this graphic to the lid of the case, and this one is so perfect because it is a Rochester based firm no longer in existence........part of our local history!!

My new dollar store garden gloves worked perfectly in here.......got 5 pair, I go through them so fast.....

A little pad and pencils for garden notes and reminders.......key to the garden gate and some saved seeds......

More seeds to be planted along with bulbs and a little reminder of Fall.....peat pots and new pine cones from my white pine that produces in the Spring......

Now that was such fun!!!  It'll be quite awhile before I can actually get out  in the garden to work, its still cold, rainy, and muddy, only some daffodils blooming and no leaves on the trees or bushes!!!  Maybe next week..........thanks for stopping by!!

Garden Case

Debra has inspired me to create a seed box.......but it has turned into a Garden Case!!!  Found this wicker suitcase in the basement filled with old doll clothes from my daughter..........that stuff is ready for the Good Will!!!   Then I continued to shop the basement and my studio........well, came up with a lot of stuff to incorporate into this new project!!!

Some elements.......

This will keep me busy for a few days, seeing as winter has returned and it is nasty!!!

Last week I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing some re-organizing in my studio, it was getting too crowded to work in there!!!  I removed 2 tables and brought in 2 bookcases, which work very well, and I am ordering a Martha Stewart sewing/craft table as soon as it goes on sale!!!  It has two drawers in it and will hold a lot of the supplies that are in baskets and cluttered.  Although, I work well with clutter!!!

See these cute tins???  Got them on clearance at the drug store after Christmas......$4.99 for the three, score!!  Now holding trims.   The bunny watercolor is from a gal on Etsy, will have to look for her name, she does really sweet paintings.....

Just keeping it real folks....this is as pretty as it gets!!!  This studio is a real workroom for all seasons!!!

Thanks for stopping by, hope someone out there is having a real Spring!!!

Dinner Tables

We enjoyed Easter Day dinner at my sister's home......she set a lovely table and cooked a marvelous meal.....what a great time we had!!!

I love her new table cloth and runner we found at Home Goods, just right for Spring!!!

On Wednesday we had dinner at my home, not as fancy but yummy good and fun too!!!  I went with yellow and green with a touch of pink for Spring, seeing as it was still snowing outside we needed that happy color!!!

They are calling for warmer weather for the weekend, we shall see!!!  Hope things are looking Springy by you!!!

Easter clips

Been so very busy, just like the rest of you, but wanted to share some snippets of Easter with you......

 

Having dinner at my sister's and hope to get some photos for you, she sets a gorgeous table!!!  This is a floral piece I made for my niece, its her birthday on Sunday......what a great day to celebrate!!

 

Remember the yarn wrapped eggs I had made?  Here they are all finished......

 Here are some of my marble egg collection.

 

As our precious Savior hung dying on the cross, the thief next to Him marveled and wondered why He was there, since He had done no wrong..............he said "You are He", and Jesus said, "Today you will be in Paradise with Me".

Just a simple statement of belief and faith from the thief, and he was blessed with eternal life!!!  This eternal life can be yours with accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior!!!

May the God of Abraham make His face to shine down upon you.........

 Easter blessings to you.....with love from Cleo
