Nature All Around Us

I love birds, but Owls and Hawks are my favorite, so they always seem to find a way into my creations!

I think my love of Owls goes back to when I was a child and my Father came to the door one very cold winter day with a beautiful Barn Owl, that he found sitting in the snow and he hopped on my Fathers glove.

He sat contently and watched us, not bothered at all as my sister and I gazed in amazement. I was certain he came to us, not just because he was so cold, but he knew we would appreciate his beauty. After a few blinks of his eyes, to my sister and I, he flew back to his home.

Love Rocks

I tell my husband I’m a cheap date, he doesn’t need to buy me expensive things, I can go outside and find that one special rock that will make me happy. I know it’s silly, but my Mother says I have been picking up rocks since I was a little girl. Not just everyone I see, they have to be just the right one and you know it when you see it. I remember one of our nephews saw my display of rocks in a bowl on the table and he looked at me and said “I’m not allowed to have rocks in the house!” Anything’s game at my house!!

I adore the gorgeous handmade crochet rocks in the “Stitch Happens 7” store on Etsy. You have to go to her shop and see her amazing work!

I am always on the lookout for heart shaped rocks! This is a photo banner I made of my collection.

And since I have so many rocks, I made some “Stamps on the Rocks” with my old stamps. Why not!
