Time to clean the Humming bird feeders.

I think is safe to say that the humming birds have gone south, not a one in sight, way too cold for them now. Planning on adding a few more feeders for next spring. I like the ones that have the little bar for them to stand and feed. My garden is about 90% cleaned by now and it looks kinda sad. Today I planted in 4 of the beds in the kitchen garden. I planted carrots, mix lettuces, chard, spinach and few cold hardy herbs. Oh yes, my sweet peas, I sure hope they do as well this year, I love them. I also planted the big arch trellis with some sugar snap peas, I love them in my salads, planted way more this year.   

                                      Peppers have done great this year, this is the last of them.

                                              This little fern is a trooper, so winter hardy.

Santa baby, Prima paper collection.

Playing in my studio, my me time. Working on a couple of TNS, planning on making one chunky and full and another one more simple and flat. What's not to love about this paper collection, it's pink and shabby. I've been fulling items to work with and the paper is dictating the colors and thank God I have lots to pick from. 

                                              Planning on making three signatures per TN.

My crafting buddy, so sweet.

It's like he wants to help, gets on to of everything and just wants to hang out. Today I busted out my Santa Baby paper collection from last year, now is when I got to play with it. Making some TNs , aiming for 3 signatures and trying to keep them kinda flat. I love this paper collection, it's gorgeous, so shabby and cute. Will share later.  

New findings, gorgeous vintage pins.

Loving my latest finds, these are so beautiful. There's something about vintage pins that that always call me. These I found on a recent trip with my sister, she always finds the best things. Every time I think I have a favorite one, I change my mind. 

                                          I think this one will look so pretty on a jean jacket.

Early November and the garden is still beautiful.

Nature never cease to amaze me, here it is winter already and I'm still getting blooms. They're just hanging in there, so pretty to look at. Lot's of cleaning left to do in the garden, getting it done a little at a time. Still not sure what to plant for my fall garden. Most of the garden beds are ready, I just have to amend the soil a little and I can soon start planting for fall. 

   My first Azazel bloom and I can't wait for many more. I love them and they're prolific here in the south.   

Cleaning and reorganizing by art studio.

I'm on a mission and already started working on my goals for next year. I have way too much gorgeousness going on with my supplies. I need to do some major destashing. Sometimes to many choices is a bad thing, in my case, I get all confused and I don't know where to start or what to pick. We are so blessed, can you imagine that being an issue, it really is in my case. 

I've been saving this little guy for just the right project and in the mean time he doesn't get used. So today I passed him on to a crafty friend that likes what I like and I know she'll put him to good use. I wrapped him on an organza baggie that full of goodies. My problem has always been that I love everything, I see the potential in it, my head starts spinning all kinds of projects and that's it, I take it home with me. But no more!!! (note to self) lol. 

Dolly's booth, all dressed for Christmas.

My Sister China's booth always looks so pretty. I'm so proud of her and her hubby, they work so hard all year long to get ready for Christmas. It's her favorite holiday and it shows. The folks at the store where she has her booth are so good and kind to her, they let her have the only room available to sellers. She loves having her own little room to decorate, it's so cute in there. 

Her talented hubby made that little cabinet, she designs and he makes. They make a great team those two. I love anything that has chicken wire. Wish I had a spot for it.

My beautiful mom came to stay with  us for a while this summer and she always wants to help somehow, so she made these out of an old chenille blanket. I think she did a great job,  they came out so beautiful. 

          I love her candy canes, she make little ones and this year she made these big ones too. I just love                  anything that has glitter on it.

                                               
                                                   These little Santa outfits are my favorite.

Dolly's beautiful hand made works of art.

This is some of my sister's beautiful work, she makes these every year. My sister has a beautiful booth in a local store here in town and she works really hard all year long making her famous dolls for fall and winter. I love the warm fall colors, specially her cute little hat and cape and the little basket the other one is holding, so adorable.
