    Inspired by Pinterest

    April 9, 2012 - By 

    In the weeks leading up to Easter I saw a few ideas on Pinterest that I thought…
    “I could totally do that!”
     
    I made this wreath for my mom’s apartment door. 
    And these cute little deviled egg chicks for Easter.

    Of course, today I went to link to the original pin and share the link to the owner of the photo…no luck. 
    It says “original pin deleted”. 
    All I have is the photo in Pinterest. 
    I’m not about to post someone else’s photo on my blog without being able to give a photo credit. 
    Yet another reason that I’m now labeling my photos.

    Longing for Summer

    April 7, 2012 - By 
     
    After a few glorious days in March that made us here in MN forget that we should still have snow on the ground…our weather has turned. It’s cold again. 
    It’s has me “Longing for Summer”…

    I used lots of yummy texture. 
    Honestly…the background is my favorite part of this piece. 
    It was just too plain to leave on it’s own but I wanted lots of it to show.

    40 Tea Tuesday

    April 3, 2012 - By 
    My BFF turns the big 4-0 tomorrow. Since she’s across the country from me I decided to SPAM her snail mail box this past week. I’m sure she’ll get me back next month when I going the club but its all in good fun. Neither of us are freaking out about 40…it just doesn’t seem possible. I feel like I’m 20 something. 
    I sliced open the side of a water bottle and filled it  with a packet of flowers seeds, a knit dishcloth, crochet scrubbie, a wine cork, confetti, a few fortunes and a note.

    The note explained the contents… 
    In summary it said:
    If I were there I’d give her flowers, instead she’ll have to plant her own. 
    If I were there I’d help her clean her house, instead she’ll have to have her family to do it for her. 
    If I were there I’d share a bottle of wine but sorry I drank it.

    I also made a series of postcards with little snarky remarks all in jest of course. 
    I realize this post doesn’t really have anything to do with tea… other than the fact that Sandy and I often have a cup of tea and a chat over the phone.
