ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR A WREATH....SHABBY CHIC PERFECTION....WREATH TWO..I AM DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS

SOME FAMILY PHOTOS

It has been awhile since I posted anything about OUR GANG. Taber is in the photo as a puppy.He has grown into a sweet and lovable dog who always looks like he is smiling. He is pictured with his chin on the floor here. He will be one year old December 24th and he was a birthday present from my husband last February. Taber weighs 20 pounds...he is a very large Peke. Pansy who sits regally on the chair is a white Peke like Taber and is 10. She has been with us since she was 10 months old. She only weighs 12 pounds but can stand her ground any time with playful Taber. Tom Cat came to us as a starving kitten about six years ago....he will never go hungry again. He has always had my heart and everyone else loves him too. He is so good to the children and Taber who never leaves him alone. Tom is gentle and kind and friendly and loving and does not have a mean bone in his body. He has always been this way.
Send me a story about your dog or cat. I always love reading them. Animals are such a big part of our lives and I know they are the same in your life.
Thank you for reading my blog.
Merry Christmas.

NEED A WREATH GIRLS?

Check out item number 380186918278 on Ebay under my seller name SUMMERSDARLING. I can guarantee... you will not find this at your local department store or florist. It has been a nine year journey accomplishing these wreaths and I have loved every minute of it. A labor of love I have had in my minds eye for over six months. Now it is a realty. Just a few sneak peeks for you. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. It is always such a joy for me to share my creations with you. After all where would an artist be without an audience? Please leave a comment. It would mean so much to me.
Thank you.

Just Between Us Girls here is something you might like to try

I have a sister-in-law that lives in Scotland and she called and asked me to whip up some gifts for the holiday season. Now she is a very lovely lady that has a mother in the nursing home who is 93 and Pat(my sister-in-law)visits her mother daily. She asked me to make her mother a wall hanging. Her mother is confined to her bed. Something she could look at all the time which could be placed on a wardrobe by her bed. Soooo today I made one of my fabric blocks of Icart's Christmas Wreath 1922 and started playing with all sorts of velvet and trim and adornments. This is the finished wall hanging. Thought you might like to see it. It was a lot of fun. You sort of make the background and then start playing with everything. Placing it here and there and everywhere. I also hand painted the details on the lady, wreath and cherub with German glass glitter.
I added a broach...very old as a finishing touch.
