Hello February.

Garden planning for 2020.

I carved some time this afternoon just to day dream and plan because that's half the fun. My favorite place to be is in my garden. I'm improving and planning the kitchen potager garden for 2020. We worked really hard on it last year and my design came to life. All the structure is in, hubby built me a low black farmhouse corral fence that outlines and defines the area. The six garden beds have all finally been filled with good healthy amended soil and the 2 main focal pieces, the urns, are waiting for some color and texture. I'm thinking pinks and purples in Gara, Petunia and Ivy. Oh my heart.

Working on textile bundles today.

I started the day today by working on some of my mini journals, I wanted to work on some backgrounds. Well, had I not looked at the fabric, I would of continued working on my art journal. It all started because I posted a couple of textile bundles on my face book group and they all sold out. 

I love working with fabrics, I love the colors, prints and the feel of fabric, so it doesn't take much for me to want to play with my fabric. This bundle, I made two and one sold immediately. I got to get to work and put more together. I love these, so pretty. 

She is all done.

Happy Mail time.

This beautiful goodness I received from my sweet friend Evelyn. I love swans, I think they're so graceful and beautiful. I have a few of them throughout my studio and now I can add this one to my collection. Her card is so beautiful too, she always colors beautiful and the layering is gorgeous. Thank you Evelyn for thinking of me.   

Rainy day means crafting weather.

Been working on these new journals for Valentine's day. They're going to have a retro vintage look to them and I'm enjoying this project so much. My last two junk journals didn't even make it to my Etsy shop

I'm working on a name for them, I always try to name my journals in some kind of floral name. Of course my journals have be female, girl power .  

Junk journal paper doll bundle. SOLD.

This cute bundle of  paper doll ephemera has to be one of my favorite so far. I don't don't know why, but I've always loved paper dolls, I use to collect them for my nieces from all over the world. Now they're all in collage and I have them back, lol. With the re-birth of Junk Journing I get to use them. This bundle has a kitsch feel to it, I think cause of the decal, how cute. 

New little bundles of crafty happiness.

Putting bundles, lots and kits together. Gathering and collection all this goodness is so much much, I think is the hunt that I really enjoy. My favorite here is the "Snail Mail" bundle, I just love postal ephemera. I saved some for me too and I can't wait to start working on my journal making again. But first, to put all that Christmas stuff away. I love putting it up, but not so much taking it down.
