Wooden Block House #2 ~ Blush Pink Bottle Brush Trees



This is my 2nd little block house. It's not too different from the first one, except this one is all in silver tones. The 1st one had gold on it. I'll have to try something different on the next one. When I like how something turned out I tend to make the ones after that all look the same. 

The bottle brush trees turned out more of a blush color this time, they are also a little lighter. I really like the base on the first tree pictured. It is a silver color metal  crown that  I got at the flea market a couple of weeks ago. The base on the other tree is glass with crystals on it. 
Have a look if you like at my etsy shop.


Thanks for visiting,

Wooden Block House ~ Pink Bottle Brush Trees




This is my newest creation. I made it to sell in my new etsy shop but I liked it so much it has been sitting on my desk for a few weeks. These pictures don't quite capture it but it's really sparkly. I put the bottle brush trees with it but it's not really meant for Christmas. I just love pink bottle brush trees. My office always has a few sitting around waiting for a new home. I can't help myself. I just keep buying them and dying them pink....all different shades of pink. Some of the rhinestones are vintage and some are new. I just found out (I guess I am a little slow) that you can buy rolls of rhinestone chain. That's good to know when I run out of vintage chains. I do buy the vintage ones whenever I see them. There always seem to be some at the flea market. Please come and visit me on my new blog Brocade Moon and my new etsy shop.

Lexi ~ Christmas 2010

This is Lexi.....almost 2 years old now. Taking a little nap by the Christmas Tree. We had to put a gate around the tree again this year because she still likes to chew on anything she can get her paws on. It has been raining here for days so she hasn't had a walk in a while ............good thing she likes to nap.

Lexi 1st Birthday

My little puppy Lexi had her 1st birthday yesterday. She is a pretty big puppy now at 65 pounds.
I made her this black dress for her birthday because you just can't get cute dresses that are Golden Retriever size. I also made her a pearl necklace and bracelets......she already had the bows for her hair. She doesn't seem to mind getting dressed up.......but I don't usually leave clothes on her very long.
This is her birthday cake I made for her. You can't tell from the picture but it is very tiny. The main ingredients are organic brown rice flour, peanut butter and carrots.......she really seem to loved it.....but she also eats dirt clods. It did smell pretty good though....I didn't try it. It has cream cheese for icing. That was my first try at piping.

Newly Painted Green Office

This is my newly painted office. My home has been a taupe color for so long I decided it needed to have some color. I saw a picture in Country Living magazine with a pretty green living room...that's how I choose the color. It is pretty bright but I really like it.....almost my entire house will be this color except for bedrooms and bathrooms. It is a very happy color. My daughter thinks I am loosing it because I have had everything neutral for so long. I don't think my kids are crazy about the color. Oh well. Of coarse my accent colors are black and white and PINK. Green and pink look so good together.
My husband is putting new wood floors in our home..they are hickory. It will take a while because he is doing it all himself and he is doing all the painting too. My dog Lexi is modeling the floors, (she is now 10 months old and weighs 60 pounds). That is the real reason for the painting ....the new floors.

Cute Christmas Pick

I found this cute little Christmas pick while I was out shopping today. A little white church birdhouse. I had not seen one with the faux icing on it before. The bead trim along the bottom is very cute too. And of coarse the glitter.....there must be glitter !

Fairy Land

My son and I went to a nursery today that specializes in "Fairy Land" planters. They have so many of them......I took pictures of more than you see here but the sun was so bright it washed them out. They have everything you need to make one (of coarse)...........it is all so cute. I think I am going to have to make some for my yard. I am a little worried about the dog eating the fairies though.
I have been wanting to make a little fairy garden in my backyard for a while now and I think this gave me the inspiration that I need.


This is their little Fairy Village. I don't know if I got the best angle but it was really cute.

Halloween Altered Tin

This is my newest project I just finished. I used his little mermaid image that I created last Halloween. I love this image so I will probably use her every year. This is an Altoids tin. I love using these little tins because whatever you make with it is so small you can put it almost anywhere.
