Little Gifts of Nature

I made an amazing discovery as I was walking my daughter to her class today.

This is a weed I found growing through a tiny hole in the pavement.

I find it so rare and incredible, I had to share it with you.

I love it when I find these little gifts of nature.

The sweet colors are so inspirational. And what about the shape and forms!

Enjoy!

Happy Friday to all!

P.S. One of my favorite blogs, Living with Lindsay, gave me the most wonderful surprise.I just read over at Lidsay's that she's hosting an Inspire Me Linky Party!

Lindsay, I hope this pictures inspire you as much as they inspired me as I walked past them.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Crochet Heart (for Scarf)

A cute motif can be an excellent detail to our creations. This crochet heart was the perfect ending for my twirly scarf.

Just as I promised, here are the instructions for the beautiful crochet heart.

I don't remember where I got them from, because it was long ago.

So if you know who they belong to, please let me know and I will link to him or her.

Snowflake Ornaments

I love Christmas trees. The lights. The colors. The smell. The ornaments! Choosing the right ornaments for your tree is a must if you're looking for a matching decor in your home. A lovely Christmas tree isn't necessarily an expensive project. I like to see it as the perfect opportunity to get creative and see what happens.

These days I've been working on something special for our tree. Something that matches my pine cone wreath. So we're talking silver and red. Aren't they yummy colors for Xmas?

Making these ornaments for your own tree is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Ready to learn how?

1. Get the basic ornament at your craft store.

There are generally different options for you to choose.

Mine were 1 dollar each.

2. Paint the ornament (your choice of color).

I chose silver.

3. Spread glue and glitter.

Glitter should be the same color as the paint.

Ok.

I'll admit it. There's a step 4.

4. Hang it and enjoy!

P.S. This is an excellent DIY project to make with kids: it's both easy and fun, a perfect way to get them involved with the holiday decorations.

Hope you have a great day making them with your family!
