On the cover of Better Homes & Gardens Holiday Crafts magazine!

I am so honored and excited that the snowman I designed for the Better Homes & Gardens magazine made the cover again this year!
For $5.99, you get instructions and patterns for 85 projects, including my snowman and his two canine friends. Such a deal!
Also in this issue is information to leave feedback to enter a drawing for a $500 gift card (that's my snowman that was on the cover a couple of years ago in the ad).

 You can pick up this issue on newsstands at Barnes & Noble, Michaels, JoAnns, Target, WalMart and almost anywhere magazines are sold!

A productive weekend....

Rick definitely got a lot more done this weekend than I did! He finished the wooden picket fence, except for the decorative toppers on the posts. (And yes, that is actual grass on the ground, instead mountains of snow!)

New Bunny available!

I just listed a new item for Spring.....www.bygonewhimsies.blogspot.com

Proud to be Irish...

"When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,...
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away."

 

Pretty in pink!!

Gardening is my passion....

I'll be honest, I'm really going to miss my garden when we move. It's been a work in progress for over 23 years, and I've worked hard at planting it so that several things are always blooming throughout the entire season. But, it will be fun to start fresh, too! I know what flowers I like, and I also want to try some new things. \

A good day for milk & cookies..

Indulging on this cold, snowy Winter day.

I'm excited to announce that my designs are now licensed with ESC & Company!  Part of my new collection launched at the gift show in Atlanta last week.  You can see a photo here:
