happy easter, bock bock!

This is a jello mold that I upcycled into a cute little Easter decoration.

Gettin' the rust off

Yea, yea yea...it's been awhile, but I've got my reasons and they are all legit. One being about this tall, bald and some sweet, sweet cheeks!

Just wanted to share with you one of my favorite cards from last year. I am fresh out at the moment, but the juices are flowing and as soon as my table and supplies are unpacked in my new space, you can bet there are more to come!!

Anywho, I'm gettin' my groove back. Starting with my new craft room. Oh yes, it is now under way. I am going to get the before's on here soon and keep you posted with the work in progress. The walls are mud and taped and ready to be primed. I am using the new collection from Orla Kiely for Target for my color inspiration.



I am loving the mod colors of this line.

Sing for Spring!

Spring is Here!!!!!

I love this photo. I took it on a trip to central California a few years ago! It always makes me think of spring! It is so warm and sunny here today! Unlike the 3 previous days of constant rain we have had. I love it when the weather warms up, the grass starts turning green and the first flowers pop up!

Vermicomposting??

This is a far cry from artists and etsy, but I am curious.....Anyone tried this?

You can read more of the in's and out's here. It is very simple, a few worms and a lot of scraps equal some really good stuff to add to your dirt! I really want to start doing this. It only makes sense. We have so many vegetable and fruit scraps that would make great worm food. But, the greatest reward would be a rich place for my future flowers to grow.

I may have mentioned before that my soil is all but missing. I have rock and clay. Yuck. So, I started thinking about this last fall and I think I am going to start it now. I am going to go get some red earthworms and a large container. Then as I get the compost I can start putting it where I want my flower beds. The plan is, by this time next year, I will have some place for my flowers to grow. I also think I am going to bring in some fine mulch an till it under and let it decompose over the long hot summer.

Any experts out there have an opinion on vermicomposting? I love any advice along the way. I will keep everyone updated on my worm journey!

Sometimes you feel like a NUT!

Keeping with the Jimmy Buffet and beach theme, I thought it was only right to find some interesting finds on my favorite place. That's right, etsy and I went on a hunt for coconuts today! So let's take a look at some of the coconuts I found and they can be yours too!

These coconut milk bath bombs are from magic hands on etsy. Check out her shop for some amazing bath and body products! These would be great on a summer evening when you want to be on the beach but are stuck in the middle of the Midwest. Give them a try and let me know what you think! There is a perfect bar of lime margarita salt soap that would be a great match with the bath bomb. If I had these two, I might never leave the shower!



This gorgeous pendant is from crescent moon creations . She also has a awesome shop on etsy, where you will find beautiful jewelry. This pendant is make from coconut wood and I thought it was very cool! Best of all, she has sooooo many beads for the bargain price of $1.50!! Run over and check out her store.
