Sewing tea

I’ve been busy sewing again. This time making more greeting cards.While running a few errands this morning I stopped at the co-op for a few essentials and a little indulgence. I really love this fermented tea and since it’s going to be really warm again today, it seemed like a good choice.

Stop by Kimmies blog, art in red wagons, for the other Tea Tuesday posts.

Also just a little teaser…tomorrow I’m doing something special for Breast Cancer awareness month. My mom is a 43 year survivor. I hope it turns out like the picture in my head. I’ll be sure to take a picture when its done.

Flags and a garden update

So I go out to check the side garden this morning and the deer have eaten the tops off my green beans and snow pea plants. Wasn’t that nice of them…pesky things. So I decided that maybe some flags would scare them…create some movement…and generally get in the way of their snacking. Bonus…I think they look cute. We’ll see what happens.

The garden box is also doing very well. There are tons of little green tomatoes on the plants.

Check it out …

Nature is funny at times.

Inspired by Jill

As I was starting to clean up my art zone…again…it never gets completed… but I digress….

I was totally inspired by the greeting card that came with my prize from Jill Ruth.

Missed it by that much…

I missed Tea Tuesday yesterday…
I was busy getting a root canal. Oh, Joy.

So the cups remained in the cupboard…they looked pretty while waiting though.

I’ve also spent an enormous amount of time in waiting rooms lately so I’ve brought stuff with to keep me busy and make the time pass more quickly.

Fabric collage

My friend Patty let me know she got my package so, as promised, here is the full view of the fabric collage I created a while back.

I’ve been so inspired by others fabric collages in blogland but hadn’t ever attempted or even felt the inclination to attempt one until now.

I just kept layering pieces until I felt happy with it. The tree book page and the rust colored fabric were my starting point. I knew I wanted something dimensional so I searched through my jewelry stash and found this berry piece. I think it may have been a clip to dress-up a shoe in its former life.
