I Adore Spring!!

I love a beautiful spring day when the early flowers are in bloom and the bushes and trees are all shouting Yay!! Here are a few photos of some of the beauty I've seen in my own yard in the last week! I'm including even a couple of other surprise beauties as well!!

This is a double daffodil! I love them! Wish I had a few more singles though!

This is a gorgeous purple hyacinth! To think I got these bulbs free!! So pretty!


These are the blooms of a flowering quince bush! They really brighten things up in the spring. But be careful of the thorns!! Quince has thorns!

This is my pride and joy!! They are the blooms on my weeping Cherry tree in my front yard! I love to see it bloom!!

And here we have a common tulip! Just south of here, Holland, MI, we have a tulip festival every year. They grow the most beautiful tulips you ever saw!


And here's my grandson Jonah, enjoying a smell of the tulip! Unfortunately, tulips don't have a smell!!


And last but certainly not least, here is my sweet little granddaughter Haley, enjoying the outdoors on this beautiful spring day!
Please enjoy the spring! It only happens once a year!!

Treasury East!!

I just discovered Treasury East! What fun! I had a little fun with some special finds lately and couldn't help but make treasuries based on poems! I love them and I hope you do too!

This one I call "The Owl And The Pusscat"

Wuglyees.....A Unique And Beautiful Etsy Shop

Today I'm doing something different. I want to tell you about this dear friend of mine, Deb Malloy, who has a gorgeous shop and does the most beautiful crocheting! Maybe you've never seen her shop before, but I guarantee, it's worth the look! I'm including some wonderful samples of her work, and I encourage you to see what else she has to offer. http://wuglyees.etsy.com/


Here are just a few samples: The item above is a sample of the necklaces she has in her store!


Here is a sample of the beautiful brooches she has in her store! I love this one!!


These are a pair of her wonderful earrings!! She does great work, don't your think?


And who could forget the fact that anyone who crochets makes beautiful scarves!! This one is for women.

And as you can see, this one is for a man!! So many items to choose from!!

And what crochet shop would be complete without hats! I had a hard time picking one for this sample, but those slouch hats are so popular and this one is gorgeous!!

She also carries bracelets! She calls them "Hand Sandals!" So unique!! And so beautiful!

And what about accessories??? This is one beautiful pillow! And it's done in Angel Hair! It would be such a romantic addition to any room, don't you think?

And we can't leave out the fact that Deb is also a poet! I've seen excerpts from this book, and I guarantee you will not have dry eyes when you are done reading it! Below is the dedication page of this book! Even that is touching!:

Guess Who!

This is my grandson Jonah! He's wearing his Uncle "Fox's" hat! A nickname he gave him a long time ago! The glasses are for fun too! There's no glass in them!

And this is our little granddaughter Haley! She's sitting in a tent and her hair (what little there is) is standing on end! Isn't she a cutie pie!!

I wanted to post some photos of my grandkids that I watch every other Friday. Love these kids!!

Spring Is In The Air

Spring is in the air and because of that I'm going through a bit of spring fever. It's causing me to have a creative block and because of that, I have not created anything new for a bit now. What I have done is re-make a few oldies! Some things really did need a makeover! I still have a few others that could use it too. Here are a few examples: (sorry I don't have all the"before" photos!)

This was just a "plain jane" before I re-made it. It was just the top beads threaded on a bead bar. It didn't have much appeal, but I think it just might now!!

Here we have a "before" picture. Another "plain jane!"

This is what it now looks like!! I REALLY like this one! I hope you do too!

These are some great little earrings! They were cute before, but now they are adorable!!
And lastly, below, are a pair of cute earrings that are so much cuter re-made, I can't believe I still have them!! These are only found in my web store:

Sweet Maudie's Necklace......UPDATE

I loved that necklace and so did a dear friend of mine who bought it from me today!! Yay! She loved the beads as much as me! If you are looking for beads, Maudies is the place to go!! I wish all of you many sales!! :)

Thank You Maudies

Wow! I couldn't believe I actually won these beautiful beads from www.maudies.etsy.com!! She makes beautiful handmade lampwork beads and gave away many of them so we could do our "thing" with them! This necklace is the results of my creating something with my beautiful orange beads!! I call it simply "Sweet Maudies Necklace!"
I'm afraid pictures do NOT do it justice! But, believe me, this one is an eye catcher!
I sure hope you love it! And please, be sure to check out Maudies store! You won't be sorry you did, I promise!!
