Spring!

I love Spring. I love daffodils. And it feels like Spring here in San Diego today. The sun is out and gorgeous, just a little bit of coolness in the air, blossoms are appearing. Just a beautiful day.
And it's Friday! Now, if it were only payday, too! Oh well, I'm healthy and so are my kiddos, so I'm happy.
Have a great Friday!

Spring Bling & Fluffing Part 2

There's a Spring fluffing party going on over at http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com. Go check out over 75 different blog posts featuring some pretty Spring decor.
The above picture is a sweet bunny I've had for 18 years. He's holding one of the paper mache eggs that I altered this year. I love utilizing a glass cloche.





I found this wonderfully chippy table and chairs a couple years ago at my favorite La Mesa antique store. The chenille bunny was made for me about 20 years ago. And the bunny on the right is my son Sean's first bunny ever, brought by the Easter bunny 7 years ago when Sean was 1 1/2 years old.



A couple other Easter goodies on the dining room table.
Check the post below for Part 1 of Easter decor.

A SPRING CANVAS OR TWO

I created a couple of canvasses the other day to help usher in Springtime. I was inspired by www.mylilyeden.blogspot.com. Remember to click on the picture to enlarge. You will be able to see the fabric detail better.
Here's a smaller canvas. I painted each canvas using Apple Basket acrylic paint in "Soft Blue". I used scrapbook paper for the hills and some fabric for the house and flowers and birds. I then used corrugated cardboard for the tree trunk and flower stems. Also, a little bit of Stickles glitter glue and some buttons.








Whoa. That color does not look right. I need a better camera to show the colors better.
Okay. I'm ready for Spring, how about you?
