lil fish studios 2015 thursday december 24 2015 woodland birthday cupcakes my christmas eve baby celebrates her 7th year this year the girl who has me firmly wrapped around her finger had originally demanded requested a rather elaborate stump cake but amended that demand request last night to cupcakes which are far easier for me to manage they were quite fun actually i made some wee mushrooms and stones out of fondant and made moss by adding food coloring to graham cracker crumbs and candy shred i think they re cute as can be and birthday girl does too she made the fairy herself and a tiny snail and i hope that s frosting under her fingernails but it s probably dirt a very happy day to my very special girl and to those that celebrate it a merry christmas from all of us under the poplar and pine wishing you all a new year filled with health happiness and magic xo lisa 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cupcakes forest birthday

mornings and adventure kitties i took a walk around the yard this morning mother nature had once again sugared the landscape and i marvel in the details of her chilly confections even something as simple as an oil lamp forgotten near the patio becomes somehow special the adventure kitties even joined me for a stroll pug the one with the unfortunate tail and the tan eyes still insists on climbing my leg when he wants my attention his brother leopard the kids named them with the extra toes and greenish eyes is far more reserved and only doles out affection occasionally he will walk near me purring and kneading the ground but doesn t exactly want me to hold him silly things cats happy thursday all 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

crossing arts alliance wednesday november 11 2015 tis the season to be felt y in all my busy ness i had almost totally forgotten that i had some ornaments in another lark book this one called tis the season to be felt y by kathy sheldon and amanda carestio those champions of fun felt projects i don t do a lot of felt sewing of this type any more but looking through the book made me want to rummage around in my supplies and set aside some quiet time to stitch there are lots of adorable and retro inspired projects in this book but i was tasked with making something a little earthier and muted working with recycled garment wool that i dyed i made little pears and a partridge to hang in the tree i ll be taking these little guys into the gift shop at work if you d like a copy of the book amazon has it for a great price right now and if you choose the crossing arts alliance as your charity for amazon smile a wee fraction of a percent of your purchase price will go towards supporting the arts in my area thanks have a super day all 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels book felt partridge ornament felt pear ornaments lark books lisa
