A few weeks ago, my sponsor Red Lead Paper Works sent a gorgeous assortment of collage sheets and rubber stamps to me in the mail to get my mojo flowing.

Since we have been working on our new walkway and front entrance, I haven’t had much time to create anything…but I did sneak some creative time in the past two afternoons. Some very simple projects – but it was awesome to find some time to myself!

I also decided to add some of the older wallpaper into the pieces. Back in February, my son’s girlfriend gave me 8 wallpaper books and we have been slowly dismantling them.

The first piece is an altered canvas with old ephemera, the second is just a group of simple tags, and the last piece is a bunting using wallpaper as the background.

If you haven’t visited Red Lead Paper Works – I hope you will pay them a visit. They have a wide selection of supplies!

Happy May! What a gorgeous day we have here today in Michigan – our temperature will be hitting 80 degrees! Definitely perfect for getting out in the yard and getting ready for flowers. We are in the midst of landscaping around a new front porch and sidewalk that were installed last week so dirt is everywhere!

I am getting excited about getting the yard ready and adding new accents this year. Over the last few days, I was busy sewing up a storm and created these little garden flag garlands. I have made several sets in different colors and themes – but I wanted to share this one with you today because of the soft colors and to celebrate “May Day”!

Hope you are enjoying some sunshine and spring flowers wherever you may be! Happy Wednesday!

I have been creating fabric flower bouquets and wanted to share one with you. I have been intrigued by the gorgeous fabric wedding bouquets I see all over the web and wanted to try creating one myself.

My former training was in floral design, and when my children were young I did quite a few silk weddings in my day. When hubby and I were married in 2005, we couldn’t the Celtic wedding items we wanted to include. So I made the bouquets, circlets, hairpieces, etc. My husband and I have decided to start an additional business creating wedding and special occasion items. A combination our skills: floral design, woodworking and jewelry design.

While we are still creating things before the shop opens, I wanted to share the shop with you beforehand and since I haven’t created much mixed-media art the past few weeks.
