i came across this idea here and had to make this part of our lanai-ish area facelift. i chose larger frames so i could display more and larger flowers from our garden. now if spring would hurry up and get here so i can fill them with fun colors...but then again, we do live in central oregon where it snowed yesterday - so maybe i'll just have to buy some fresh flowers at the market today.
vs: dodgers
location: home
temperature: freeeeeezing!
i had some help from my mama and her sewing machine last weekend to make these two sweeties for the kids this easter. for the ears and tummies i used an old wool scarf for 'bunny stew' and a silvie onesie favorite for 'skip to mylou'.
and the kids' baskets wouldn't be complete without a few handmade goodies from their grammy too.
for me when i think of spring, i think of: happy-chirpy birds, new blossoms and a whole lot of bright green colors popping up everywhere. so i wanted to create something that would best represent my vision.
frame: i looked around in the garage, then in my craft trunk and found an old frame i first painted with a stone colored texture primer, next a few coats of matte black, and then lightly sanded the edges for an antique finish.
wreath: feathers, feathers and feathers. so much fun, right! i wrapped an old twig wreath i found at my favorite antique mall with a spool of feathers, intertwined a roll of silk ribbon i've been keeping for such a project, then garnished with some berry twigs i had leftover from another project.
last weekend my family successfully pulled off hosting a surprise party at the john day golf club for my dad's 70th birthday. the night could not have gone any better -- we had the best of times with the best of peeps. thank you all for those who traveled from afar to make this day even more special.
happy birthday, papa! we love you so much. ~xoox

happy double-digit birthday, my awesome, amazing, fun-loving, and sweet son! words cannot describe how proud and delighted we are to have you in our lives.
last weekend we loaded up three cars with kidlets, their scooters and headed to truck stop to celebrate brenner's birthday a few days early.
