Butterfly Farm

For all you orchid lovers.... Here are some photos from a butterfly farm in Montego Bay taken on a quilting cruise this last spring. The flowers were so beautiful.

Back to School

Well it's back to U of A! Not for me this time, but for my girls. It is the first day of classes. Old main is still standing strong and the flowers planted outside are beautiful. Here's to wishing my girls the very best this year!

A gift for my mother

I am really enjoying soldering and creating fun pendants. This is one I made for my mother. She has it hanging from a ribbon on a glass jar. I painted the art using colored inks and gouache.

Paper Flowers

Yeah! I am so excited as I begin my new blog! This is a photo from May when I had a graduation party for my daughter. My mother and I made paper flower garlands to hang for my daughter's party. I strung all the flowers together with a variety a colorful ribbons. They are very easy to make. I used 6 sheets of tissue paper cut square in size. Next I accordion folded all the layers and tied them in the middle. Then I gently pulled apart the layers to make each flower.
