Flowers, Scarecrow and Yard Sale Finds

 

Hello Dear Friends

&

Welcome to my garden :)

Some of the morning glories 

are starting to bloom. 

As well as other flowers

and the blackberries 😁

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

This year I made 

a new scarecrow. 

Starting with a chair,

a wig head form,

and a pool-doodle. 

 

Last week there was a

 neighborhood yard sale

just a 1/2 mile from where

I live and I found two

outstanding finds.

First this pretty wooden

wall plaque.

I added it to my headboard.

  

$1

Then this used once and didn't

like rice cooker with a steamer

basket. 

I love it!!!

$2.50

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

Well, that's my post for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I wish there was a way 

to have a glass of lemonade

and a dish of cookies

to share when you visited.

🌸🌸🌸🌿🌸🌸🌸

God bless you all!

Your blogging sister,

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

 This is a little bench

that I built outside

my greenhouse/potting shed.

Flowers picked from 

the garden.

These are from the 

garden, but look

at the sweet cozy 

wrapped around the jar . . .

A handmade gift

from a dear friend.

I am blessed!

 

I wanted to make 

something simple

but cute for the garden.

So, I went to my 

scrap bin.

Yellow is so cheerful :)

Little yellow flags . . .

putting on a happy face 😎

You already saw them once,

but I'll just show them again.

 

These were gifted me by

lovely friends that stopped by 

this week to see how 

I was faring with my back.

I'm happy to say that even

though I'm still in 

a lot of pain, I am 

seeing an improvement each

and every day :)

slow and steady :)

Again,

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Valentie's Day

Today's post is my valentine

to all of you . . . 

 

 

I've gone through my archives 

and found projects with hearts . . .

like these many banners from years

gone by :)

 

 

This is a windmill we purchased

for our 40th anniversary.

 

 And this is the base Steve

made for it :)

 

Next I found pot holders

dish towels, mug rugs & quilt labels.

 

Many journal pages . . .

I don't know why I quit drawing

it does provide much enjoyment.

 

 

 

 

This is "sharpie art" that I 

did on my first guitar. 

 

 

These two hearts and the photo 

below this one, are hearts that I made

after seeing a tutorial on 

Nana Diana's Blog,

Nana Diana Takes A Break

many years ago.

A chair that I painted.

 

 

This post is so long . . .

I'm going to stop with some embroidery

and an apron made from 

and old pair of jeans. 

 

 

If you are still here

all that I can say is,

"Bless Your Heart!"

 

 

 

Thank you for following my blog

it has been a source of love and friendship

and you all hold a warm spot in my heart.

 

 

God bless you . . .

If you are blessed to still have your 

Sweetheart near you

give him a huge hug  . . .

(or her . . . I do have two gentlemen

that follow my blog)

and then thank our Sweet Lord,

because you are blessed 💝

 

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

 

P.S. Again, Happy Valentine's Day!
