Friday Finds

Bleeding Hearts. 

I discovered these in my front yard a couple of weeks ago!



Since the weather has been nice, I have been outside a lot lately

just exploring our surroundings.







I was thrilled to find this Bleeding Heart plant right in my own front yard! 

I've only seen pictures of them on other blogs, until now. 

Such delicate little flowers they are!  



So, I thought this was the perfect thing to share this week on 

Kim Klassen's 


Hope you discover something new and wonderful too this weekend!

These are gorgeous shots of the bleeding heart plant! I'm still trying to decide what to do about a reader, so I'm glad to see you mention bloglovin'. That's probably where I'll go, too...

bleeding hearts has always been one of my favorites...we had a large plant of them outside the front door when I was growing up in Wisconsin - always remind me of that home...

I love them too, mine are almost done for the season so I keep flinging the seed pods all over the woods and hoping some new plants come up. doesn't take long for them to just grow wild. I also find a frilly white one, but it's not so prolific.....xox

Oh my, I havent seen bleeding hearts yet this year.... I used to press these little hearts and made Valentine cards and such with them. What a fun find you have!

Warm regards,

Thanks for your last comment Becca...coming up with titles for the paintings is almost just as fun as painting them. :)

LOVELY bleeding hearts, Becca! Sadly, we lost our bleeding heart to damp weather last years. I hope we can get a new one this summer--would love a white one especially. Happy Flower Days, my friend :o) ((HUGS))

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Image
Hello Friends!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially  if this is a long weekend for you!  It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I  thought it was time to get out my tea bags  and get creative!  This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper. First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the  watercolor paper to start my background. This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.  I love the color and texture the tea bags create.  After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.   The dragonfly is a rubber stamp. Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture. The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today. Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the...

The Art of A Rain Chain

Image
"Art"   is probably not the first word that comes to mind for most people when it rains.  If you have ever seen a  Rain Chain   then maybe you'll understand why I think of it this way.  copper, metal, patina, design, texture, beauty... peaceful,  mesmerizing... If you've read my blog for some time, you might remember, this "desert girl" is fascinated with  rain chains. :-) I'm still traveling...Seattle...it's raining... I'm sharing my Rain Chain Art this week at Lisa Gordon's  Creative Exchange I have been reading and enjoying your comments. When I'm back home, I will have more time to visit and get caught up with you.  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Becca

It's a Crochet Thing….

Image
Hi friends!   Well, I said I'd be back with some crochet stuff I've been working on,  I just didn't think it would take me so long.  So, I found this cute coaster pattern on line that uses "jute"  and yarn. They were easy to make, and the yarn adds so much to them,  don't you think?   Look at the back, I think even the back looks interesting!  Click  HERE  for the link if you want to make these.  I've been working on this afghan for a while now.  I love it because the squares have been pretty  easy to make even while watching TV.  The colors remind me of the blue hydrangeas I love so much!  Finally, I've been going nuts about adding crocheted edgings on things.  I made a couple of tea towels for gifts, and I'm still  working on more of these.  Don't you just love ticking fabric?  Well, there ya ha...
