"A Trick With Music"

I love this painting by Brian Kershisnik, and have been thinking of it daily since I came across it a few weeks ago.

Acorns

2011-09-08T01:22:00.000-07:00

I hate the oak tree in my backyard. The mass of acorns every year brings a mass of squirrels and a massive mess. These acorns are felted, but they are making me want to go outside and start searching for acorns right now. I don't know how to felt, but what if I were to paint them?

Hand Drawn Frames

How cool is this?! I love it and wish the walls in my basement were smooth (instead of faux wood paneling with a groove every 2 inches) so I could do something like this downstairs.
But it would also be really neat in a kids room. Hmm, the girls room is desperate for a redo. . .

Ice Cream Parlor

Saw this, loved it, made it for Sable. Cost me all of about $2 cause I already had the plastic waffle cups. She LUVS it and has a ball custom making all our ice cream orders.

Oh how I love this and wish that I had the skills, the tools, the materials, or even just the ingenuity that this gal has.

Yes, Yes I Do

Moss Terrarium

I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for glass lidded jars. I feel a pressing NEED to make at least one of these mini worlds.

Wouldn't this make a fabulous temple dress? If only I trusted myself to sew clothes.

How to Find Flower Fairies

I'd love to transform our basement playroom to resemble the pages of this amazing book.

Capri is getting Kit Kittridge for her birthday, hence the American Girl party.

She knows she's getting her.

Kit's already been ordered, received, and is hanging out in my basement gift/craft closet.

Capri knows this too.

She's being awfully patient.

I can't wait to see the two of them together.

In this?

Please?

Ya know, for church.

This is SERIOUSLY making me wish that Sable's birthday was in the wintertime instead of sweltering August.

Mushroom Table & Toadstool Chairs

Now if I only had four HUNDRED dollars.

I'm drooling.

Pom-Poms

2009-05-19T19:43:00.000-07:00

Martha always knows what's up. I'm envisioning making these in black and red for Sable's party - A Ladybug Picnic. Then reusing the red and adding some light blue and maybe yellow or pink to match the Hello Betty by Moda fabric Layer Cake (which I love OH SO much) I'll be using to make some banners for Capri's American Girl Party.

I think I'm getting more excited about these parties then the girlies are.

I've got em on the brain. Two parties coming up in August, and little girlie parties always get me thinking in overdrive. Now how can I replicate this cake topper? Hmmmm. . .
