| Birdhouse Gourd | |
Well with refreshing spring on my mind and Mother's Day almost here, I thought I would share with you a little crafty project I did over the weekend. My studio is filled with all this fantastic but overwhelming "junk". It is time I use the things I've collected or get rid of them. This birdhouse gourd I dried two years ago and decided to make it a Mother's Day gift. She adores nature and the hand made. I love the natural markings the mold made as it dried. Call me crazy but nature is beautiful, mold and all. I decided to personalize it by wood burning dogwood blooms into the surface. Dogwood trees remind me of my Poppa, which adds a nice family connection. My Poppa is the greatest nature teacher ever. I think that I might try to grow the seeds that I retrieved from the guts. They may or may not grow because they've been around a while, so keep you fingers crossed! Happy Mother's Day everyone and don't forget to do something sweet for Mom!

| Starfish | i just found a website you might be interested in, Gogh. It's myfolia.com and i guess it's kind of a blog for your gardens. Check it out, it's in beta but it looked like something up your alley. |
