Two recent prints...

Before leaving on a trip to Costa Rica in June, I made a couple printed gifts. This sachet featuring two chickadees perched on pussy willow branches is filled with fragrant lavender blossoms.

The message on this printed t-shirt is now being seen all over Denver, Colorado.

Workshop on Scrubbie Making

Kingdom Krafts got together for a workshop on Scrubbie making on Carolyn's porch.

That's Reba learning and Carol demonstrating.

This is a scrubbie in the making.
After a week of rain the sun actually peaked through, wonderful to see!
We also took a walk to see the white waterlilies and green frogs that are doing very well during this rainy and cool summer.













Those frogs are something!

Cady's Falls Nursery

In a town called Morrisville, Vermont, a wonderful nursery provides not only wonderful plants,

but it is a photographic never-neverland.

All the ways green can be seen are there.

All the textures of plants,rocks and more.

Root Tree Trellis

Not only are there birds in the root tree perches around the house all the time, I have turned one into a trellis. At Cadys Falls nursery recently I picked up a white clematis which is progressing well up the root tree perch. In time it will be covered with leaves and big white blooms. The windchime seemed like a good idea, too.

Coloring Logs

After my trip to the Adirondacks, I was determined to use color on my log house in a way that reminded me of the Great Camp, Sagamore Lodge.

Here is what I came up with.



I am considering red trim around the windows.


I used a Cabot solid stain, Indian corn is the color.

I seal the ends with Marine varnish satin.


I do like how it looks. My adirondack chairs might get the treatment, too, to complete the Sagamore look. Does this work for anybody else?
