Finding Fairies

2012-03-15T15:46:00.003-07:00

When the winds of March are wakening The crocuses and crickets, Did you ever find a fairy near Some budding little thickets, A-straightening her golden wings and combing out her hair?

She's there! And when she sees you creeping up To get a closer peek She tumbles through the daffodils, A-playing hide and seek, And creeps into the tulips till You can't find where she's hid?

Mine did! Have you ever, ever come across A little toadstool elf A-reading by a firefly lamp And laughing to himself, Or a saucy fairy queen upon Her favorite dragonfly?

So've I!

It's fun to see a fairy flutter Off a catkin boat, And wrap her fairy baby in A pussy willow coat; Oh, don't you love the fairies And their fairy babies, too?

I do! By

Little House on the Prairie Seam binding Necklaces

2012-02-14T23:01:00.000-08:00

Here's what I've been working on the last couple of days.:)

Knotted Seam Binding Necklaces with a silver pendant holding a clipping of an illustration from a vintage Little House on the Prairie book.

They are all ready for purchase at my Etsy shop, Moon Flower Creations.:)

It's been awhile since I've made these types of necklaces. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.:)

Bird Themed Letter Paper and French Fold Cards

2012-02-02T16:35:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been thinking about how snail mail seems to be going out of style and how sad that is. Having to wait on things teaches patience, something that is highly lacking in our society. So...I created some pretty bird themed letter papers and some small bird themed scalloped edged french folds that are just as sweet as can be.:)

They are now in my Moon Flower Books and Such shop ready for purchase.:)

Click on the photos below for more details on each.

Beeswax Candles and Honey

2012-02-02T01:47:00.000-08:00

A couple months back I bought some candles and honey from See Bee Honey and Crafts on Etsy.

Finally I'm sharing their lovely products.

I had bought quite a bit of both honey and candles to add to some Christmas gifts.:) We kept most of it though.:)

I just bought some more of her honey not too long ago and I already got the shipment. Super fast shipping there which I like alot. I even got some free candles.:) Thankyou Sweet Bee Honey and Crafts!

Down to the Wire Designs

2012-01-28T17:00:00.000-08:00

I wanted to share these lovely earrings my husband gave to me for Christmas.

Not only were they a lovely choice on my husbands part but they were handmade by my very talented metal smith/jewelry making cousin Chuck Domitrovich from Down to the Wire Designs on Etsy.:)

He even makes his own earwires and clasps.;)

I love these ones because they are small and delicate.

Be sure to check out his other great designs and truly unique pieces of art.:)

Now this is unique! Pretty darn cool too.:)

He has also opened a supply shop on Etsy called Fire and Skill. Yup, jewelry making supplies, all hand forged by him.

As I was getting the links for this post I discovered that he even got an Etsy Featured Artist Interview!

Awesome!:)

Made Front Page!

2012-01-17T06:58:00.000-08:00

Jennifer Rizzo Hat

2011-11-28T18:26:00.000-08:00

In the mail today, I receive this most adorable hat in the mail. :)

It was created by the lovely Jennifer Rizzo

Of course I gave it to my lovely daughter.

I asked her to pose in it for me and boy did she pose. ;)

I can hardly ever get her to do that in my hats. Not her style I guess.

Boy did she love Jennifers hat though.

She's a cheerleader so naturally she wants one in her school colors: navy, turquoise and silver. :)

~~~~~~~

I won this hat as a secondary prize to a giveaway she did awhile back for blogging about it here at Moon Flower. :)

I thought it quite generous of her.

Thanks so much Jennifer!

The school choir even performed for us, as well as some pianists, and violinists and solo singers. They were all VERY good.:)

This was on the first day of the craft show. Never did get the camera out on the second day to take more pictures of other vendors. Got too busy with everything going on around me I guess.:)

My Etsy shops back in business :)

2011-11-13T16:30:00.000-08:00

Yeah! Back from the craft show and I decided to reactivate all my Etsy shop listings earlier than I had said I would.
I don't have pictures loaded of the show yet but will maybe do that later.:)
The show was fun, met lots of cool people, but didn't really make too many sales. But can't really complain. It was all worth it and I learned alot.
So...please visit my shops again and start making those Christmas purchases!

Gabriel's Stick Man and Couch

2011-11-11T12:21:00.000-08:00

My soon to be eight year old, Gabe, presented to me this cute stick person and couch made out of popsicle sticks and masking tape. He tells me that he wants to be a sculptor. He's of to a great start I think.;)

He even made the little stick guy bendable at the waist so he could sit.

Aren't his little round tape pillows adorable?

My boys are always making something out of these sticks that I bought for like 7 bucks for 1000. They have had if for months and months now and just over more than half the box has been used.

Kids really do love to create. And it doesn't really take much to keep them using their imaginations.

All they need is cardboard, tape, scissors(if old enough), and glue and they're extremely happy. :)

Crocheted Christmas Ornament/Gift Tag Stockings

2011-11-10T12:17:00.000-08:00

Made with a pretty white recycled cotton and a glittery eyelash yarn.

I have been working on these for the craft show coming up this weekend.

Will offer them in my shop when it is over.:)

They are about 3" in length.

I put a little plastic covered candy cane in each.

Also made some with a wool yarn. Plan on making more tonight.:)

I made these bigger sized stockings in a wool yarn.

Plan on stuffing a regular sized candy cane in each.

These are about 6" in length.

They each feature a pretty jute twine bow.

They all can be used as ornaments for the tree or as a lovely gift tag on a package.:)

Just a Reminder...

2011-11-09T09:36:00.000-08:00

...that I will be deactivating almost everything in my shops on the 11th.

New Things

2011-11-06T14:10:00.000-08:00

I found this perfect fall wreath for the front door at Michaels yesterday. :)

I got a great deal on it too.

It was originally $50.00 and I got it for 70% off that price. That's a big price cut and very much so worth buying it.:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also found a pretty blue and beige hydrangea silk flower stem to add to my other pretty fall silk flowers I have on display on the front porch.

Silk flowers are a bit more spendier than other fake flowers but so worth it with their more realistic look and they last so much longer than real ones. ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm working on a lovely skinny scarf made out of the most buttery soft and lovely colored acrylic yarn. I don't typically use yarn that is all acrylic usually but in this case I couldn't resist it. The scarf is coming along quite nicely and feels so amazingly soft.

It has such a lovely bumpy texture to it. :)

More From Seawashed

2011-11-03T16:31:00.000-07:00

I bought some simple and sweet Christmas cards from Seawashed on Etsy.

I thought I might share them with you.

I won't show you all the special little extras she included in my lovingly wrapped package which included a handwritten note, but I will show you her cards and some pretty little tags that was part of the freebies.:)

Her blog , Sea Cottage, is really quite beautiful and inspiring too.:)

It soothes the soul. ;)

Woodland Needle Felted Acorns Necklace...

2011-10-27T00:23:00.000-07:00

...by Nozomi Crafts on Etsy.

This necklace is just so sweet to look at and I love wearing it.:)

When I had ordered it from Heidi of Nazomi Crafts, I didn't know that it was going to be so small and delicate. I guess I was thinking that they were going to be like the larger sized felted acorns like what I make and sell in my shop. But these ones are way more petite which makes them just perfect for a necklace. :)

Plus...she packaged everything in such a pretty way.

She really does amazing work. Please check out her entire shop at Etsy and you will totally see what I mean.:)

Here's something she has in her shop right now.

I know...too cute, right? :)

Doe a Deer, a Female Deer

2011-10-27T00:01:00.000-07:00

I bought the cute doe and fawn figurine from Heather of Quirky Quriosities at Etsy
where she sells vintage items.

Here are some more shots of my little doe and fawn treasure.:)

Isn't it just adorable?

I know...I'm such a nerd.

I get excited over the smallest of things sometimes.;)

A Birthday Gift

2011-10-25T14:58:00.000-07:00

It was my birthday yesterday.

My hubby brought me home these beautiful flowers, a lovely card and some sweet smelling perfume.

I never have to buy myself perfume because my husband always does it for me. ;)

Later that evening he took me to dinner at a very nice new restaurant in town. The food was terrific. So was the cocktails and dessert. ;)

Thanks honey.

Kids Can Knit

2011-10-01T18:21:00.000-07:00

A few days ago, my youngest, who just turned six, asked me if I could teach him how to knit. He has tried crocheting in the past and but never really was able to get past making a chain.
So I said, "I don't know, it's kinda hard, but I guess I'll show you how to do it. "
So I got my thickest yarn and bigger sized crochet needles for him to learn on.

I couldn't believe it, in no time at all he could cast on with no problem and was even able to knit a row and then another. :)

My almost 8 year old, Gabe, came into the room and wanted to give it a go as well. He learned pretty good too but didn't have the endurance that Conlan has for these kinds of things and quit a bit sooner.:)

Wow...just look how focused they look here.
They were extremely quiet during this time too. That in itself was very nice.;)

The Kids Getting Crafty on the Front Porch

2011-09-27T00:41:00.000-07:00

I snapped these a few days back of my boys and some of their neighborhood friends getting crafty on the front porch with yarn. Not sure what it they were making, but they were sure having fun doing it.;)

I always have lots for small balls of leftover yarn from projects. My boys as well as the neighbor kids are always asking me for some. I'm happy to give it to them. It's nice seeing kids using their imaginations and being creative.

A Bird's Nest and Freshly Fallen Acorns

2011-09-19T20:39:00.000-07:00

My Gabriel and his neighbor buddy Anthony were at the park today and discovered this real live bird's nest and brought it home to me, knowing that I would just be in utter delight over it.:)

And of course I had to add a couple of my felted eggs to it to make it look even more adorable. I'd say that they look quite realistic. :)

I believe that the nest must have got blown down from the small storm we had last night. I'm so happy that it didn't fall apart.
I now have it sitting on my porch along with some of my other earthy treasures that I keep there.:)
Speaking of other treasures...Gabe and my other little munchkin, Conlan brought me home these lovely freshly fallen acorns a couple of days back that are still a lovely green color. They too came from our neighborhood park. It's a small park but really quite beautiful with the large oak trees and it's large dog park and tennis courts.

I really love the ones that still have a piece of twig attached to it.:)

So sweet.

Not only did I receive her print but I got some sweet freebies as well.:) One of her "Calm" tags and a sample teabag to try. What I liked best was her lovely note. It is those simple touches that can make a package so special and her's surely was.

My Baby Turned 6

2011-09-09T07:33:00.000-07:00

...two days ago.

I can't believe that he is 6 years old now.

We don't typically do big parties or anything but we told Conlan he could go around the neighborhood the day before his birthday to invite his friends over for cake and icecream.

The boys ...

...and the girls.

There was two neighbor boys and four neighbor girls that came. They all had a really good time.:)

He is in Kindergarden this year too.
Here is a couple pictures of him and his bro on the first day of school.

Just look at the excitement on his face.:)

I especially love this one.

He loves it so far. He couldn't go last year because he was a week shy of being 5 when school started then. He didn't mind having to spend time at home with mom while the other kids were at school and neither did I.:) But when it came time for school again, he was definitely ready to go.

Back to School!

2011-09-03T10:12:00.000-07:00

Yup, I'm pretty ready for the kids to be back at school, just as are they.:) My youngest will be going to school for the first time and he is pretty excited about it. My daughter will be doing school at home this year. She has been suffering academically for the last few years so I thought it best to bring her back home to learn. She gets very easily distracted in class and can't focus very well at all there. So we are hoping that she can get back on track her at home. She will be going through the online school Connections Academy. She has done this before in the 4th grade and did very well. Anyway... They will be going back to school on the 6th and I still don't have all their school supplies ready. Guess that's what I'll be doing this weekend.:) Thought I'd share some cute back to school items I found at Etsy. Enjoy:)

An old fashioned lunch.

Cute.

I'd like this for myself.:)

Yummy treats for back to school!

PlanetBox Lunchbox

2011-09-01T11:49:00.000-07:00

Later:
After I showed the kids this video, they were like, I want one! I want one! Placed an order today.;)

It's Starting to Feel Like Autumn

The mornings have been a bit more chilly lately. Which means that one of my favorite times of year is steadily approaching.:)
My family and I have had an awesome summer this year. We went camping this last weekend for our last summer fun thing to do and had a wonderful time.

I've retaught myself to knit a while back and have been working on some gorgeous loose knit fingerless gloves, great for the cooler months like Autumn or even Spring.
I first learned the skill when I was in fifth grade in a "mini-course". Made a pair of slippers and didn't pick up the knitting needles again. Instead, I turned to the crochet hooks.:)
Still need to get photos if of my newly knit items before I can list them in my shop. Will be doing that soon.
For now, you can see some of my Autumny items that I have in my shops right now. :)
