A Tisket, a Tasket, I Got My Cupcakes.....

OK, so it doesn't rhyme....
But aren't they gorgeous? They are so fantastic....I can't begin to tell you how great they are!!! Be sure and click on the pictures to get a closer look! My only compaint is that I have this strange compulsion to see what resin tastes like.........

Whoops!

Sorry! I double posted some of the pictures.....

Last one.....

Really, I'm almost done with the roses....

Are you tired of the roses?

Don't they just make your mouth water?...LOL!

yet more....

More roses....

Roses from the past.....

Obviously these aren't from this year....it's a little early yet! But these are a few of the roses in my yard. I'll be posting more pictures of them but I can only post 5 pictures per post. Anyways, I have lost some of my roses this past year and I have no idea why unless it was the heat and drought. Of course I watered, but there's nothing like a good rain shower! It really kind of breaks my heart to look at these pictures as I see the ones that will be gone this season...:( I guess I'll just have to start anew in those areas. Roses and hydrangeas are my favorites and I have about 50 hydrangea bushes but they too have taken a beating this past year, both from the weather and from "man-made disasters"!

I am the champion.........

of spelling.....NOT! I know I spelled "cottagy" wrong in a previous post but I don't know how to fix it!!!!! :)

Mmmmmm....Cupcakes!!!

I made these today for everyone that comes to visit my blog...please help yourself...:)
Just kidding! These aren't real! But aren't they beautiful? Don't they just look so yummy? Well I met this wonderful talented girl online, her name is Kim, and she does fake food! I saw some of her stuff on Ebay and it's just incredible! If you want to go and see it her Ebay ID is "Frozenmoments"....go take a look. Here is a link to her blog which she has just started. But leave the pink rosebud cupcakes alone....I bought them this morning! (If you wanted some I'm sure she'd make more!)

Maybe I'm no good at posting links. Oh well, copy and paste and I'll have to work on this!

Easter Favors...which one do YOU like best?

I sat today and sewed vintage crepe paper into ruffled lengths and then decided not to use it. Sewing is NOT my favorite thing to do. Anyways, here are some Easter favors that I've been working on, I want to make up a few more different ones but for now this is all I have done. I think I like the one with the bluebird on it the best...:)

Look who paid a visit today.....

BTW, Charlie says "Hi!"..........

I heard an awful noise outside this afternoon, I thought maybe Charlie had gotten hold of a squirrel or baby racoon or maybe even a young possum. I hurried to the door cringing at the thought of seeing an injured animal and perhaps seeing a bloody mess. But when I got to the door I coul;d see thru the window that all Charlie was doing was "mooshing" (nosing) something much smaller than I expected to see. It was a woodpecker! He was screaming bloody murder! Charlie wasn't hurting it in anyway (he mooshes us, the cats, his food....), the woodpecker was just highly indignant at being treated that way. I made Charlie come in and I attempted to get the woodpecker to scoot on out. I opened both doors on the porch so he would see that escape was imminent but he (or she) was having none of that. It wouldn't go out. I swooshed my arms this way and that way thinking I'd startle it enough and it would leave. Nothing I did could persuade this fine feathered friend to exit the porch. It's about 7:30 p.m. here now and that darn woodpecker is still out there on the porch even tho it has been given it's privacy and both doors are still open. If it is a "she", do you suppose she wants my front porch to raise her first brood of the season in? Irregardless of her plans, I'm not going to get too pushy....did you see the length and sharpness of that beak?

Cottagey Corners of my home.....

This is the second time I have tried to post to my blog this morning. The first time my computer decided to go crazy on me, grrr!

The jar has 5 doz. painted, speckled and waxed paper mache eggs in it, I just love bird eggs! That was all of the eggs that I could find in that size but I do have a lot of regular size eggs that I'm thinking of doing in more neutral colors. I can see it in my mind.....natural looking eggs on a nest of moss on a pretty plate...mmmm! I'll post a pic when I get them done.

I started working on some little Easter favors last night, hopefully I will get time to work on them more today. I need so badly to get my Easter decor down from the attic. Do you decorate for Easter? I like to decorate for every season/holiday altho the last couple of years I don't always do it. I think I've accumulated too much STUFF and now I feel overwhelmed. But I do so love all the "eye candy"!
