Working

I have been working on getting some swaps out of the way and there is a wedding and graduation comming up. So I have been a buisy little beaver. I will post more pictures as time allows.

Play day

I have just been playing with my newest Wizard dies and making all kinds of strange paper dolls. This one is called Tiki Time.

The weather is great. Nice and windy here. We have all been spending alot of time on the back porch, just vegin out. The kitties all join in the relaxation. The bad news is the carpenter bees are back. Not as many as there were last year though. We had Orkin come out and spray them and plug up the holes. They came out about 3 times. They decided not to do the evil fat bees any more. We tried filling the holes this year and the durned things ate threw the stuff we used. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Help!

Bunny Box

I just listed a cute bunny box and the other day I listed a metal curio.

I am hoping that they will sell. Both are higher in price than most of my items but they took alot of time to complete.

Patinad Copper

This is a piece that I have been working on using copper tooling tecniques and than a pitana added with amonia and salt.

A snowy day in april

Last week was so nice outside. Carole and I went to work getting the yard ready for the warm weather to come. We moved some plants to new homes and planted some seeds by the mailbox in hopes that someday something would actually grow there. I made a little garden spot out there 7 years ago and the only thing that comes back besides the weeds is a lemon balm plant. Everything else has died. Nothing will grow around the mailbox. Is it so wrong to want a pretty plant to grow in that spot? This years trial is some snapdragon seeds someone gave me. A huge bag of em. Hope against hope they will grow. I also was given 2 well started pampas grass plants. I put them by the bird bath. The ones I planted by the mail box several years ago died. Ok, so I am bad about watering, but there are plants that grow well with little care. Most everything in our yard grows without any attendance. It is just the things I actually want to grow that have bad attitudes.

So, now that we have planted and moved plants it has started snowing. Yup, it has been snowing all day. The lilacks have bloomed. The trees have all bloomed and budded and now it is snowing. The open windows have been closed. The heat has been turned back on. The poor plants that we moved haven't even had a chance to settle in. Poor things.
