This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

A mixture..................

Going to the thrift shop the other day I really didn't find much. I was looking for a few pots to plant some flowers in. I did accomplish that goal. I found this jar/container that was missing its lid. I liked it because it had dogs on it, It says "Dogs smile with their tails". I got it home and wondered what to do with it. Then.....duh!!! I want planters right.

The pot that I found was ideal for this plant, just the right size. If the plant likes it I will plant it in this pot it was just what I was looking for. For 1.99 how could I miss?

One year I made a bunch of butterfly houses. They do not do well out in the elements. I should bring them in and repaint them but......well at the moment I have other projects. This one was in the house and I put it out this year. The bird house in front is waiting for a plant to go in it. An ivy maybe.

    I love those Irises! The fox and wren are excellent, too. I always thought you were a talented gardener, but now I see you are a talented fine artist, too!

    The dog pot is really cute!
