Little Wooden Spring Bags




I just finished more of these little wooden Spring bags. My daughter got me started on them when she called a few weeks back and wanted me to come up with something she could fill with goodies and give to her fav clients. She's in medical device sales and took them to doc's offices. After I shipped her's off, I wanted to make some to list in my Etsy shop, so here's the sneak preview! Hope you like!


This old cabinet door came out of the house my hubbie lived in when he was a small boy. It's in Ryle, OK and falling down. His father and grandfather built the cabinets. My hubbie and son risked life and limb going into this house a few years back to retrieve this piece of history for me. I just love the chippy paint, rusty hinges, and glass knob!

I WON!




I'm walkin' on sunshine, yeah, yeah....and don't it feel good! I just found out I won the Easter Bonnet Parade contest with my beautiful Easter crown! All the entries were beautiful and unique and I didn't think I stood a chance....oh, yee of little faith!




I learned the technique from Holly of Holly Doodle designs who taught the class at the Paper Crown, which is one darling DARLING store! Holly's talent is nothing short of astounding and she is sooooooooooo much fun!




Well, it's time to climb down off my cloud and get to work. I just may have to wear my crown all day! It is for sale in my etsy store...houseatfroghollow. Not sure I can part with it now!

Colors of Spring




I finally got to sew today...Yeah! The triangles were a bit of a challenge until I got the hang of it. Then I could have pieced those puppies all day long! The ol' rotator cuff injury didn't much like it, but I persevered. This line of fabric is from Moda and it's a "cake layer" I purchased from a quilt store in Branson, MO. Since then, I've purchased 2 more on ebay, which was about 1/2 the cost.

The tulips are from my garden. I cut them before the freezing snow we had on Saturday. I hope that was the last of the cold. C'mon Spring!
