Some of My Creations

Here is my most recent creation. She is my little faery. Very sparkly. She is filled with faery dust for a little magic. The girls had this barbie dress that was going to Am-vets, til I had the idea of making a faery. Her arms are made out of sticks and her face is a rock. Her body is a glass bottle filled with glitter and sand. Glitter is on her dress and the rest of her too. Her wings glitter they are made from money tree leaves.

This is Autumne bag for our bike rides and trips to the store. She gets to keep an eye on the key too.

This is one of my favorite dresses. It was a tank top that was too short,so I cut the bottom off, I'm sure I used it for something else. Than added fabric and lace to make a dress. It's very light so I made a slip dress to wear under it. Time to put away until next year!

This is Tara's skirt, I got this vintage fabric at my favorite store. Add the draw string and elastic . Than thought a pocket would be nice too.

I love this little picture. I got it from SKIRT the news magazine. The kids had this i-pod box that became my frame and I added the lace and that became my picture.

My kids

WOW! to think they all came out of me!!! My life has had it's ups and down this year, b

ut as I look at these kids of mine I some how know it will all be ok! Fifteen years ago I started this journey. It's hard to believe. It's funny I thought I'd have them and they would stay a babies. CRAZY ME! What did I think they would stay little for. It challenging at times, but it's also rewarding know I made a difference, I gave them life. They in return saved mine.

I am one blessed momma!

If you look real closely you can see family dynamics going on. Love and snuggles on one side and competition on the other end and Tara, look I am beautiful and innocent too!

I always forget what this one is. I do know I think it's beautiful and I just love it!

Garden Blessings

This is the space for my wild flower and herb garden. The bare field is for our garden. This year in 2 weeks we are getting the ground cover. I think we are getting red clover and pea's of some sort.

My Zinnia's ( thanks Gina and Carrie) are blooming like Crazy! They look so beautiful! Everyday I go out and more have or are about to bloom.

Here is our wild blackberry bush ( thanks Allison) it's doing so well! Can't wait until next year. hopefully, we will have some yummy berries.

Well, I am not sure this is a blessings or not. I bought this bag of bird feed and brought it home put it on the table and went about my business. When I came back to it and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Well, Autumne saw them too. All those tiny black specks, well those are some sort of bugs. I opened it, thinking birds eat bugs. Well, they poured out of the bag. They don't fly, they have this time pincher like thing on their nose. I am not sure that they are eating the bugs. They don't do much, I tried to see if they were flying type bug. No, they just drop. Well, i am going to go and see what they are doing come tomorrow. Funny little bug!

Morning Meditation Time

Each morning, well, most mornings we start with a brief time for meditation and prayer time. Last week it was so nice at the beginning that we took advantage of it and did our morning time around the fire pit.
