Cardigan Welsch Corgis, Puppy Love, and Other Signs of Spring

-
It is supposed to be 60 degrees here in Colorado today.  If it indeed gets up there, it will be the first hint of Spring we've had that wasn't smothered by wind and snow.  Everything has been brown and dead around my house, and the lawn is still yellow, but this morning I see my lilacs have buds, so there is hope of new life!

Speaking of new life: friends of ours have a new litter of puppies that I have already visited once.  They are Cardigan Welsh Corgis, seven little girl puppies and one little boy.  My son and I have held and cuddled with every one of them.  They are SO SWEET!  We love them!  We want one!



There's nothing on this earth like a puppy, is there?  

My son is in love with the one in the 4th photo.  Her name is Violet.

You need a puppy, don't you?  If you know anyone who's looking -- seven of them (all girls) are still for sale and will be available April 9th!

If you're hungering for more evidence of Spring, the Etsy Blogger Blog Carnival is up at Made by Melissa's blog.

Cuteness overload- I have to lie down-
Corgis are such good little dogs- may have back problems as they grow, like dachshunds, Dexter has three Corgi girl friends- the boy ones are too fiesty.
By the way I sent stuff to you fed ex- I hope that you can use at least some of it - I hope that I have not just sent more clutter...sorry if that is the case.
LOVE

Here's a tutorial to make sweet baby Jesus ornaments: Materials: 3/4" round wooden balls blue felt like-sized small wooden stars flesh-colored acrylic paint yellow acrylic paint black permanent marker small button as star decor raffia natural excelsior "moss" silver thread or coordinating yarn candy cane You'll also need glue or a hot glue gun, paint brush and scissors Begin by painting the wooden balls with flesh-colored paint and the stars with yellow paint. When dry, draw two sleeping eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, cut small pieces of felt and make little rolls to represent the baby's body; tie with a tiny piece of raffia. Next, glue the wooden ball onto the top of the body roll of felt; if you wish, you can also cut a small wedge of felt to glue over like a little swaddled hood on the baby's head, but I think it looks cute without it as well. Glue the l...

Flagler College in St. Augustine: the Tiffany connection

-
Image
We visited this wonderful building that began its life in 1888 as a lavish hotel built by Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, and now houses Flagler College . It is such a beautiful old building and in it we saw: these fabulous Tiffany chandeliers... on a spectacular painted and embossed ceiling in one of the hotel's drawing rooms.   I apologize for the quality of the indoor photos -- it was quite dark in the building. I had to laugh at these painted cherubs on the ceiling... and the way their ribbony robes encircle the chandelier mount! This large clock over the mantle is special because it's a Thomas Edison clock and because it is made from one piece of rare onyx.  We were told that Edison's "signature" on his clocks is the use of the incorrect Roman numeral "4". But the most spectacular feature of the building is that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself made the stained glass windows. Most of Tiffany's windows a...

O Christmas tree, jeweled Christmas tree...

Earlier in the season Rebecca and I went to a craft fair at a local high school, and there was one booth with the CUTEST little jeweled, framed Christmas trees! The gal was nice enough to let me photograph them.  Sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was dark in that high school gym! I know it's an older kind of craft (from the '60s and '70s) but she made them sweet -- not gaudy at all.  We were both SO inspired. So, last week we made it happen.  I brought a bunch of my old, broken vintage jewelry, some velvet, glue,  old frames, and we sat in her dining room and made a forest of little trees! It was so simple: first, we took a vintage frame and covered the backing with velvet.  We just glued it on. Then, we took our time arranging bits and pieces of jewels into a Christmas tree shape. When we were happy with the arrangement, we committed and glued the jewels down!  I love this avocado green velvet! And then we did it again.  We h...
