Inspiration: Hummingbird

I've just listed this cake topper in shades of emerald, mint, moss, pine and forest green, inspired by this little lady who has been visiting our garden this summer.  It would be so beautiful for a woodland or botanical-themed wedding. 

Red and Mint

Some new Christmas cake toppers, plus a holiday gift guide in red and mint.  My cake topper in "Mrs. Claus" (top) features festive florals and polka dots.  "Candy Cane" (below) is made from red and white striped ribbon.

Winter Flower Arrangements: Daisies and Hydrangeas

I made these winter flower arrangements in small vintage vases, from just two bouquets that I bought at the supermarket.  Though I love larger arrangments as well, there's something about these small groupings of individual vases that I tend to gravitate to.  I like how each little vase has its own style.  The flowers I used here are white daisies, carnations, green mini mums, and pale blue hydrangeas, along with some lacy greens (cedar or juniper?..I'm not sure).  I think they would lend such a light and pretty air to a winter wedding.

Featured!: "Merry" Embroidery Hoop

My "merry" embroidery hoop was featured in this post on decorating the nursery for the holidays, from the Babble blog.  Thank you!!

New Item: "Party Animal" Pinata Bull Figurine

Check out my new addition: a pinata bull, hand-sculpted from polymer clay and painted with acrylic colors in a mix of pink, green, and gold .  The perfect little gift for a celebration.  Ole!

New Items: Christmas Embroidery Hoops

I've just added embroidery hoops in shades of red, lime, and mint green to add some cheer to your holiday home decor! 



Hand-embroidered "merry" encircled by my favorite coral stitch, in a 4-inch hoop.




Hand-embroidered letters in this set of three 4-inch embroidery hoops spell out "J-O-Y", with the "O" encircled by a festive wreath.
