To Those in the States....

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my family, warm home, the kind support and kinship of my friends, and my health.

What are YOU thankful for on this day?

Until next time, happy attitude of gratitude!

With all fond wishes,

Glitter Houses by the Photographically Challenged

Wahhh!

The lighting in my house is sorely lacking right now and I have all of these fun glitter houses to photograph!

It is torturous, because the cuteness of the houses doesn't fully come through because I am not a skilled and clever photographer.

Alas, these must be sent to their new homes, so the poor photography will just have to stand.

Hope your winter is sparkly and sweet!

Thanks so much for taking a peek!

Until next time, glitter on!

Glittery Putz Houses

Well, mine aren't THIS fancy, but they are why I have been missing in action.

They are also why every article of clothing I have worn recently is embedded with glitter.

Hey, there are worse things in life than being sparkly!

(Though I did feel I had to explain myself at the parent/teacher conferences last week!)

I'll post some pictures of my own creations on Monday.

Until next time, sparkle on!

Theresa

Brrrr!

Finally!

A morning at least a LITTLE bit worthy of a snowman!

Thanks for popping in for a peek!

This guy is now posted at my etsy shop. http://www.sycamoremoonstudios.etsy.com/

Until next time, happy weather changes!

Retro Snow

Here are the latest snowmen to hit my etsy shop!

They are of the same style as my Halloween ornies from this year.

They are silly-sweet, I think.

I'm not sure how well the tinsel tree works in the photos, but I feel that the snowmen are easier to see than they were when I used my newly made white feather tree.

I'll be posting some new figurines and my latest dark green feather tree next!

Thanks for stopping in to see the "guys"!

Until next time, happy fa-la-laaing.

Theresa

I made a feather tree...

..and staffed it with a gaggle of snowmen! (Or is that a passal?)

I really found the making of the tree relaxing.

I may have a new "thing"!

(Don't tell my husband!)

My next tree will be as small as this one, but I think I will use smaller berries on the tips of the branches.

These seem waaaay to big to me.

I also think that I will do a brown trunk, too.

Variety is the spice of life!

Tomorrow I'll share some of my new elves. I have some retro style snowmen that will be coming up for sale soon, too.

Until next time, happy learning!

RIP Crabbie

I am so sad. I accidentally committed spider-cide last night.

This pretty crab spider has been an outdoor companion for over a month. I loved going out and trying to find where he was hiding. He seemed to travel from the roof to the little yellow flowers on our porch. My kids liked to make a careful check prior to running outside, as sometimes he would be a little too close for comfort, in their opinion.

Last night, I went out into the backyard long after the sun had gone down. I like to leave the lights off so as to enjoy the night skies and find a little peace. I never gave him a second thought.

I went to open the screen door and IT happened; as I pushed the thumb button that opens the door, I felt a little smush. Yikes!

*sob* I loved that spider.

Until next time, don't forget to look!
