Mixed Media.......Packing for Class

I spent today packing up supplies for the

Mixed Media Class

tomorrow...

These are some of the found objects that you will be

playing with tomorrow if you are enrolled in my

Mixed Media Class

With all of this inspiration here in front of me,

I couldn't help but start a new Mixed Media Quilt:

I will bring this along to class tomorrow and show you

how I attach everything to the quilted sandwich.

I hope to see You in class !

Spring...is here !

Happy Days...

are here again!

Here in Western Oregon we are celebrating

the arrival of SPRING...

Click Images to Enlarge:

The swallows have returned,

so we put out the bird house in the flowerbed

The birds are busy setting up housekeeping

Another sign of SPRING...

Flowering Cherry Tree

Blossoms

Looks like it snowed!

Let's check on the seedlings...

They were planted a few weeks ago...

The State Fair Zinnia seedlings

have tripled in size in one week

Hydrangea Vine:

The Hydrange vine that grows just outside the

Thread Shed doorway

is greening up nicely

This much needed sunshine

is casting shadows through the glass

on the front of the door to

the Thread Shed.

The girls greet you as you enter the

Thread Shed

Right next door to the Thread Shed

is the Hen House:

With the sunny Spring days, the hens are spending

more time outside in their yard.

Everyone in the yard is so happy it is finally...
