I enjoy making the miniature versions of these little glitter houses and this one was no exception. It is decorated with mulberry paper flowers, velvet flowers, hand-crafted Easter eggs and preserved moss. When the lights come on, everything comes to life. The back has the traditional hole to allow the use of an LED light […]
I love the miniature Putz houses and this one is a particular favorite. I love these colors and the pattern, as well. Pictures don’t do this little house justice. The base is made from an upcycled greeting card. As soon as I saw this card, I knew I had to make a Putz for it. […]
I have listed two Easter Putz churches to my Etsy shop. They were a refreshing change from making snowy, winter Putz houses. The first one is a miniature version of the church. I copied the pattern at 80% of the original size. It’s always fun to see the Putz with the lights on. It brings […]
Another week has flown by. I managed to finish a couple of Irish cottage Putz to list to my Etsy shop. The second cottage included some shamrocks. Wednesday morning started with the sunrise shining on my Santa and Mrs. Santa paper doll cutouts that hang on the side of the cabinet in the craft room. […]
I am currently working on four little glitter houses, all of them Irish cottages. I drew this pattern in March of 2017. Here’s the mini version of this sweet, little cottage. I made four regular-size ones and two minis. The mini ones are copied at 80% of the original size of the pattern. I am […]
I took these shots to share on Tuesday, but life got hectic for a few days, so am sharing them now. The columbine has come on thick and fast this week. It’s a nice long bloomer and adds color to the beds this time of year. My favorite columbine is the blue one… I thought […]
The weather was beautiful yesterday and I was able to get out for some picture taking opportunities. Tete-a-Tete daffodils are sprinkled all over the yard. These are near the back door. In the east yard, the Star Magnolia is beginning to bloom. Looks like a snowstorm doesn’t it? Close-up, the blossoms are ivory colored. When […]
The daffodils have buds, and the crocus are opening. Spring is official. What you don’t see is a picture of me smiling, but rest assured…I am! Visit other gardens and their gardeners at Tootsie Time’s Fertilizer Friday. ~~Rhonda 🙂
I’m waiting for spring. How about you? It’s coming, but not soon enough for me. The maple trees have been budding for several weeks. Today we had a high of 55* or so. I left the house for the first time in two weeks and took a few pictures around the yard. It looks rather […]
