Gingko Love
My happy little Gingko tree survived our snowy winter (unlike other items in my yard - goodbye, little wild fuschia plant! sniff!) and is burstin' with leaves today:
So I was pleased to run across this on Etsy today:

I can picture myself wearing this at some gala summer event...
not that I frequent gala summer events, mind you! But I do have a fancy-dress dinner in June. Alas, my budget simply doesn't stretch to this, but oh, how I love it.

C'mon, sun...
If I can't have sunny days, I'd take this sunflower-y belt buckle instead.

Batten down those hatches!
Whipping winds outside, rain slamming into the walls of the house, the stovepipe constantly rattling... it's a wild night out. I count my blessings, to have a cozy little house for us to live in, even with a rattling stovepipe that keeps us awake!
I just wish I could sleep through storms. 7am is going to get here sooner than I want...
This Etsy item captures the kind of day we'll have tomorrow!

The sun has risen and so must I...
And to brighten the day even more, I'd put one or two spring greens in this little bud vase and eagerly anticipate the day I could put one gorgeous forsythia branch in there.... that would really mean spring!

Glowing hearts....
I recently came across some nifty glow-in-the-dark fabric and decided to experiment. So, for Valentine's Day, I whipped up a few items for the Etsy shop.
The glow fabric is *fascinating*. It's a heavy rip-stop nylon almost, but with better weave texture. And BOY does it ever glow!! The pictures below are with just a few minutes exposure to sunlight. If you plant this under a lamp for a while, it will glow all night long. I woke up to a glow once and freaked a little bit - aieee! aliens! - and only then remembered it was the pile of fabric on the chair. Hee.
First are a series of Loopy Hearts pillows. These are 16"x16"x~3" pillows, made out of red fleece with the glow-fabric in heart-shaped insets, along with glow-in-the-dark thread "loop-de-loop" stitching flowing off the ends of the hearts.
It's a lot of fun to work with. The thread needs to be used pretty heavily to show up, so future projects will involve perhaps double or triple embroidering with it.
I also whipped up a few little ornaments, selling them on Etsy too.
This has been so much fun to work with, I have a big line of projects to try with this fabric!

Reindeer are a favorite of mine, and I like to see all the different renditions of them at this time of year. This one is a charming little fella, twiggy and natural.

This artist did a series of "coming clean" - confessions of her catholic school girl days.
My favorite is "Coming Clean - I totally snuck 3 musketeers bars"

Eeeeeee! I was reading a Golden Book of fish once when I was little (the book still exists at my parents' house, I know exactly where it is in their bookshelves). When I came to the page about the Ocean Sunfish, I freaked out. How in the HECK could there be a FISH that was twice as tall as an adult man?!!?! I couldn't believe it. Even now it still kind of freaks me out. :)
This ocean sunfish, though. makes me smile and just want to hug it!

I love Tara's paintings (so much so that I own an original of hers), and also love the book she's illustrated! The book, The Stripy Cat, is a wonderful picture book about a quirky cat who needs a home.
Isn't this fella just perfect?

While out sick with the Ick, I did a bit of Etsy browsing and it seemed everything was dull and uninspiring.
Until I hit upon this!
Now doesn't that look delicious and gorgeous? Like a collection of pomegranate seeds, berries, grapes, and ice cold pink lemonade on a hot day.
Mmmmmmm.
