Welcome to Anybody Home!

Here you will find scattered pictures from my point and shoot camera, random thoughts from my little world, treasured memories of days gone by, hopeful dreams of the days yet to come, and a bunch of ideas - because I've always got ideas!

Sometimes I Just HAVE TO Make Stuff


I found this idea at www.todolwen.blogspot.com . It is a new craft blog, and she has generously shared a tutorial for making these flowers.
There is just something about craft bloggers - they all seem to be sooo very generous with sharing what they do. That is admirable.


Of course, I had to put my own spin on it, using what I had laying around my humble abode.


And then I needed to take dozens of pictures of my seven little flowers stuck into a salt shaker.


Because that is just what I do.





Although I do have ModPodge, I skipped that process. And, instead of using just the book page, I used some pink scrapbook paper which was already out. I also only have one flower punch, so I just floofed the book flowers a teensy bit.
My salt shaker is full of little glass balls. I thought white buttons would look nice but I was already too exhausted from running up and down steps doing laundry to run up and down again to get them. Oh. And my pins were short so I jammed a chunk of Styrofoam into the lid before I screwed it on so that the flowers won't fall all the way in.

I haven't read your blog in quite some time. I'm so glad I kept it bookmarked. Very cute flowers and your grandchildren have grown so much. They are beautiful! Also, my daughter shares your love of tiny things. We used to go garage sale shopping just for tiny toys. Ahh... memories of days gone by.
