~*~ Strawberry ~*~

The original idea I had that prompted me to make a smaller bear pattern was actually to make a little strawberry bird.  I was inspired by all the gardening I have been doing this summer!

You can visit Strawberry on the Animals page 2 of my website.

The First Signs Of Life

Now I don't want to bore you with continuous updates of my garden because I know most of you are probably consummate gardeners. But for me...this being my first one I was pretty excited over it.

Especially this morning when I went out to water and discovered I had my first signs of life!

My radishes sprung up overnight!

My pumpkins, which were the last thing I planted are already coming up!

I planted Morning Glorys next to the fence!

I put my birdbath out. It used to be in the front.

R also put up the bench for me. Sadly the corner of it is cracked rather badly, and I bought it several months ago so it's too late to take it back. R assured me he can fix it though. He can fix anything!

It looks like my garden is actually going to grow! I was going to go out and weed, but both times I tried, it started raining on me so I gave up until tomorrow.

I still got a ton done this weekend, I tried on literally every single thing I owned because some of it is too big now, or is just outdated. I switched winter and summer clothes in my closet. (I have a lot of clothes!) I also sorted purses. I sent R off to Goodwill this morning with quite a few things. I need to sort the books next, and I am not looking forward to it. I think I have more books than I have clothes!

The good news is I made it through the whole weekend without any mouth dramas and upright on my feet!

Now I am off to work on an Americana rabbit, and watch a movie! I hope you all had a great weekend! Hugs, K. <3

The Bear Bee

Yesterday I drove up to Denver to meet up with some other artists for a bear bee. We had a really nice time. We talked, worked and had some nice snacks.

It was great to see other artists. One of the things I miss about doing shows is getting together. I met some people I hadn't met before, and connected with friends I hadn't talked to for a while. So we had a full range of artists, new and old. It was fun. I took some pics, but they didn't turn out very well.

We met up at Sassy Bears & Fabrics which has an amazing array of miniature bear making supplies. Her fabric choices were staggering. She has ever color and finish you can imagine, so if you're a miniature maker...be sure and check out her shop!

I was delighted because as it turns out, I was just thinking the past few days I needed some miniature fabric for a project I am going to be working on after I finish the three I have started! Shhh...that's a secret! *winks*

It was a great day all the way around!

Today R is going to be finishing the garden and I can finally get to planting. Then tomorrow I am going to go to Sex And The City 2. The main reason I want to see it because they are going to be in Morocco! If you read my post about the vest then you know that's on my top ten places to go! Otherwise I would probably wait for it to hit video.

Tonight or tomorrow I will be making the announcement I promised you! Until then! Have a great Memorial Day!

Hugs, K. <3
