More Flowers!!

Ok , as I said I would do on my previous Post I made some flowers using the felt that I have. I think they came out pretty darn cute. Not sure what I will do with them but I am sure I will come up with something.  The red and black flowers kinda/sorta look like red poppies. The American Legion Auxilliary has Poppy Month coming up hmm .... I could make brooches and hand them out at our Meetings!   What do you think?

The scallop flowers ( poppy)  I used my Big Shot and the Scallop Die.

Another surface to Stamp!!

While I was at the Hardware store I was looking around at all the flooring tiles...you know the isle, the one with all the free samples. : )   I wanted some but I couldn't just take them...so I asked the clerk if I can have a couple and he said "sure take as many as you need!" ... I only took a couple, ok more than a couple.

 When I got home I went right to my craft room. I wiped them clean,  got out my stamping supplies and went at it.
 I used black StazOn ink, The Open Sea Stamp Set from Stampin'Up! Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Marina Mist  Stampin' Write Markers from SUP, brown acrylic paint and a sponge
I lightly sponged the brown paint onto the square. Stamped the image, let it dry and then used my markers to lightly color in the sky, sea and ship. When it was dry I put a coat of Mod Podge Clear to seal it all in.  I put felt backing on back. Perfect for coasters!

Pretty Yellow Daffodils

We sure have had some heavy rain the last few weeks. Non stop pouring rain. Can't complain though... our State needed the rain. The Lakes were getting lower and lower each year. Rivers were dry, the Dams were low.
 Inbetween the rainfall we do get a few days of sunshine, even had temperatures in the 70's last week! I like it when it stops for a few days....gives the ground a chance to soak it all up before the next downpour. Only problem is you dont know what to wear one day to the next.LOL.  Yesterday was cold, gray and rain. Today...the sun is out a small breeze and a bit cool.

This morning I opened the curtains in the back bedroom and found these beautiful daffodils!

I went outside and looked around the yard and found several more daffodils that popped up. So pretty

Our Lemon tree,which has lemons year round is full of bright yellow lemons. Our orange tree is full too.

Mother Nature takes care of her own.


When I see the beauty of the trees and flowers I guess I shouldnt complain about the rain!!
