Yikes ....it's Thursday Already !

I don't know if this is how you feel , but some weeks I have a mental list of all the things I hope to get done ! Well this week it has not been happening ! I love getting up early , 5:30 A.M. to be exact ! Could be an age thing , I do not know ! But I have so many things I want to get done in a day ! I like to start my day out with devotions first and lots of coffee!

My favorite coffee right now is this Kirkland Colombian from Costco ... no I don't live by a Costco but my daughter sent me six packages in the mail , she is a sweetheart!

I have been making a LOT of fabric flowers this week and that is a photo of some of them at the top ! It can be addicting making them... just one more , or this fabric would be perfect ... and it goes on .. !!!I also have been going through a lot of my stash of treasures , and I hope to list some of these vintage handkerchief's soon in my SecondTreasures Etsy shop ! That is my shop that I list all of my vintage , re- purposed treasures and supplies in !

I also have a question for all of you bloggers! I have been getting a LOT of comments posted that I have to reject ( Iam so glad that they don't post automatically because they are bad, bad from spamers ) so any idea what a person can do about them? To block them somehow or report them? I am at a loss as to what to do !! So email me ( link in my side bar) or leave a comment!
I am off to get more things done ! I hope you have a blessed & creative day !!

Sorting Buttons

I have been organizing some of my buttons ! I hate to admit it but I am not done ! So far this is part of my buttons . I have more jars like the top ones but they wouldn't all fit ! Do you have any idea how long it takes to sort through that many buttons? A little snap shot of a corner in my sewing room!

Posting a photo of a cute little find ! Four little spice bottles , sitting in a little metal holder ! They are Watkins products I think , so I am now on the look for a matching lid for the set . I think they are just adorable ! I may have to keep this!
Have a fabulous Tuesday ! Our weather today is wonderful , no wind and in the 70's ! That's what I call perfect !

Projects & More !

Spring is here & that also brings yard work ! Which I don't mind , but I have a backyard dilemma I am trying to figure out ! I have a spot in my back by my driveway that use to be grass , until everyone has had to park there when there was no more room . Well it has created an eyesore now ! If I had the funds I would cement it , but I don't ! So it will be a plan B thing !! I would rather be working on flowers and pretty things !

Went to some yard sales on Sat. and picked up some lovely things to re-purpose ! A sample of some of the treasures I found ! There was also a community sale that benefits our hospital , so I checked it out and came home with this vintage typewriter and some other little trinkets ! The top photo is of my son's kitty !!! He has been out of town working and I have been taking care of her , she is a sweety !!!

Have a fabulous day everyone !! Off to work on projects !!

Spring Cloche Party !!

Spring................ love spring , after a long winter there is nothing more wonderful than the new little life that springs forth !! Marty at A Stroll Through Life is hosting a Spring Cloche Party , so be sure and check out all of the other amazing spring cloche's !

A little tour of some of my spring cloche's ! The first one is a very tall cloche , which has a vintage silver goblet with a bird nesting in it and a crystal hanging from it with vintage sheet music paper on the back, and a vintage paper cross in a vintage frog... the real reason for Easter! It is because Jesus died on the cross we may have eternal life !!!

This cloche holds a egg I made a few years ago , made with felted fabric and has vintage florals attached and three little tiny grubby tags that have faith,hope & love on them! Sitting in a very old silver creamer!

This cloche is holding a collection of very old glass containers, bottles ( I have an obsession for old bottles) the tiny little glass mug is holding some silver tiny spoons !

Little birdhouse with a ceramic birdie !!

This cloche holds two little bunnies sitting in a bed of flowers , they are old , they were a set of three and the third one is gone !!

The last one is of a spring chick in a cloche with creamy flowers at his feet !

My photos are not the best , didn't have time to really edit them or make them "better" ! I am now off to visit all of the other Spring Cloche Party blogs !! Thanks Marty !!!
Hope everyone has a Blessed Easter Weekend !!
