Just a couple more things for
etsy, still haven't finished painting the bedroom, (sigh) hope to do that Saturday morning (another sigh) I have spent a little time shopping for essentials for college with youngest daughter. Fun. Expensive. School is racing up on me and I am not ready. Not ready to drop her off and turn around and come home without her. Not ready to go back to the daily grind of being a lunch lady. Not ready to see Autumn rolling toward me with winter on her heels. Am I worrying about all this too soon? Probably. But this last month of summer sometimes feels like a week. Over too soon. Back to work. I hope to get plenty of etsy stuff done before my regular job starts. I still haven't weeded the garden yet. Ah well, the butterfly bush and lilies are blooming nonetheless. Thank goodness they don't seen to mind:>) See you soon.

That heart is just gorgeous! Your things are always so nice. You're right - summer is marching to a fast drummer. It's going way too fast. Take it one day at a time and enjoy each one. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteI love the little bird, too sweet! I can't belive July is almost gone! Where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be lovely to be able to stop time once in a while :-)...Love your heart and birdie!!

Pretty heart and I just love your sweet birdies. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteAll of your things are so cheery and fun! Great items!!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I had the same thoughts today as I crossed the last day of july off on my calendar. Here in Maine the winters can be very long & cold, so every sunny day is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue bird!
Kathleen:
ReplyDeleteThanks ever so much for visiting my new blog. It makes me so happy to have visitors...I was really afraid no one would ever come! And I can see right away I'm going to enjoy your blog....heck anyone who has toile wallpaper on her blog has got to be cool! Love love love the polka dot heart...not sure what it is about polka dots but they just make me smile!
Summers were so nice and slow when I was a little girl....now it SCARES me how fast time flies! Speaking of flying...I think that sweet little bird needs to fly right through my kitchen window! I LOVE HER!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little birdie in it's nest. I love it. The heart is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, Kathy...your items are just gorgeous!! I hear you about summer, autumn, winter...then spring!! LOL!!! Enjoy the warmth and sun while we have it...and don't get too far ahead of yourself!
ReplyDelete~Blessings,
Jan
What a sweet little heart and that little birdie. Man, you're good. Do we ever have enough time! I know I don't lol
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Love the colors in that heart.
ReplyDeleteAlmost an object lesson of the heart washed clean by the blood of the lamb and made white as now.
The red and white here show the contrast beautifully.
How about if you and me be like Miss Scarlett and worry about it tomorrow. I don't want summer to end either--the heat maybe but not the schedule.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful additions for your shop!
Hugs,
Lallee
Beautiful bluebird! My kids start back to college on the 18th of this month! Already!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Kim
Oh, I adore that precious red heart...and the little blue bird is perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to get one thing done, really, all summer long...and now, summer is almost over. Out here in West Texas, even Sept. is hot, usually so I guess we still have a little summer left.
I am not worring about work, tho...I just wanna GO somewhere...ANYWHERE...
love, bj
Try to relax and not worry. Life just has a way of happening regardless.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. You make the most beautiful birds and we all need more birds in our house! You have outdone yourself in the creativity corner! Have a wonderful day!

Amy
beautiful heart and bird..You do such beautiful work..
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Love the little bird and the heart, Kathy. They're so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'm ready for summer to end either ~ although, I enjoy autumn too.
Have a great weekend!
Donna
Cheerful and precious items.
ReplyDeleteYou will eventually get so used to your daughter being away that it will seem strange to have her home!I now sooooo enjoy the peacefulness when my youngest son goes back to college, HA!!
Your blue bird is heavenly -- such a perfect shade!
ReplyDeleteYour comment about our beloved Michigan on Tales from an O.C. Cottage -- the economy stinks but at least the houses don't shake -- had me rolling on the floor. True. So sad, but so true!
those are adorable, I love the colours you have used.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy
ReplyDeleteI just love the birds and hearts you make, especially the red ones! The little frog in your birdhouse is cute too.
I know you have lots you want to get done, but make sure you take time to enjoy the rest of your summmer vacation too!
Hugs, Rhondi
Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI can sure understand how you feel about how fast time goes by. I don't blame you for wanting it to stop for a little while. Kids do grow up so fast! Love the little blue bird. I went into your etsy shop and it's already gone. Good for you!
Patricia :o)
Kathy, I am so with you, I want to put on the brakes and say "No" not August already. We have had such a peaceful summer without the grind of school. I sent my daughter Sarah to college two years ago and I cried and felt so sad. I wanted to tell you the good part. She started calling me all the time and we would laugh on the telephone all the time. Then she would come home so often because they have so many holidays and they are longer stretches than regular school. Our relationship went from being mother and daughter to two friends. She even asked me to go to Toronto with her this Spring break! OMG. Your new creations are beautiful. Karen
ReplyDeleteI hear your pain! On the flip side...I can't wait for some cooler breezes because we are sweating to death here! Your handmade things look so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLove them. You do nice work!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy...Thanks for stopping by and peeking in through my skylights!! We love the color, too! Sometimes it looks darker (like in the pix) and other times lighter...but always looks like sunshine~
ReplyDeleteJan
Oh Kathy, I love your little birds! They are SO cute! I am so glad that I found you. Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteMorning Sweet Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI loooooooooooooooove your little birdies! Your creations are always so charming!
I know what you mean - the countdown to taking our daughter back to college is on - and I already dread the long ride back home. Sigh.
xo,
Kim
I'm with you! Feels like I waited forever for Summer to get here. I'm not ready for Fall to start yet. My son is a senior this year - He'll be 18 in February. He thinks he'll get an apartment the moment he turns 18, though I've informed him that it would be nearly impossible to homeschool him that way - lol! Blessings... Polly
ReplyDeleteAWWWWW!! These are precious! The red one sold! Well, at least I have my scotty pillow!!

Kathy, your birds and hearts are so sweet, they make me smile...i just saw your "puppy love" pillow featured at Becky's blog, and oh my it is darling!!! your work is wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteyou are the bestest at making those little birdies, they are so-o-o- cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love these creations so much. You know there is this wonderful shop in the historical town called Concord, in Massachusetts. There is a store where they sell beautiful things mostly related to theme of birds and nests. They have a very gorgeous shop filled with antiques, new journals and trinkets, vintage things and birds nests everywhere. Their web site is very rustic, but there is contact information. Perhaps if you contacted them and gave them your blog address they might want to sell you lovely creations.

The shop is run by three lovely women who are very nice.
P.S. That place I go to is called Lady Fatima Shrine. Such a lovely park.
Have a wonderful day. Karen

ReplyDeleteOh that heart is SO mine!!! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd those birdies are precious. I love the yellow and black one especially! You are SO talented!
