A Sticky Valentines Day

We made cinnamon buns for breakfast on Saturday, Valentines Day. Here is a picture just before the icing was dribbled all over them. These were made from a recipe found in the Rocky Mountain News. The recipe contained all sorts of good things like chopped pecans, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, butter, cream cheese and cottage cheese.

Dreary Days and Lazy Cats

It's another cold, dreary day here in Colorado. On days like this, the cats spend all day doing this.

A Treasury of Old Garden Roses

I'm still pining for my gardens so I grabbed another treasury on Etsy and filled it with items that remind me of my old garden roses - those big fat smelly old fashioned roses that bloom in such abundance in June.
This treasury will be up until Friday, 8:11 am.

More Blooming Earrings

As the muse hits me, I've been assembling more and more garden inspired earrings and putting them in both my Etsy shop and ArtFire shop.

There are soft pastel spring flower earrings in pink, yellow and white:


There are delicate little lily earrings in purple, lavender and blue:


There are warm brown gray earrings with dangley bits:


And finally there are earrings made with milky white opalescent moonstone glass and with some lovely green and amber beads that I'd had for years:

Poet Shirt with Lucet Cord

I finally finished the poet shirt I was making for my spouse Chris, as part of his Morris Dance kit. This was the shirt I was making a lucet cord for, which I posted about earlier.

Next, I'll be making my daughter a poet shirt for her kit, and maroon britches for both. Then I should be able to get a picture of the whole kit. This is different from the normal white shirt and white pants they usually wear. The white poet shirt and maroon britches kit will have a more Renaissance fair look to it and will probably be used at the Colorado Medieval Festival in June if we dance there.

Springtime Treasuries

Since I'm such in the mood for spring colors, flowers, romance, etc., I made a couple of treasuries on Etsy in those themes. The first one has items I found using the search terms pansy and petunia. I found some amazing artists and new favorites in that search. The second one on Treasury West was using the terms romance and pink. I found some absolutely beautiful things that way too.



The Pansies and Petunia treasury will expire Friday at 5 pm and the Romantic Pink treasury will expire Saturday at 5 am.

The next treasury I manage to grab will be all about old garden roses - those big fat smelly roses that I love so much.

Two Rowdy Kitties - video!

Last night we captured Donovan and Eric being rowdy. They sleep all day and then perk up right when we want to go to bed and get some peace and quiet.
