Wishing for Spring

Well today is the 2nd day of March and my third day of my blog! Being into March gives me hope that Spring is not far away. After a very cold, snowy and expensive winter, I can hardly wait! So in keeping with the Spring thoughts, I am showing a picture of Bubba my cat in the daffodils from another Spring. Bubba is 12 now and the oldest of our animals at the "cabin". Speaking of animals, our friends have a horse farm and were out of town yesterday and gave us the great pleasure of checking every hour on a horse that was due anytime. At our 10pm check, we noticed 4 more legs in the stall, and sure enough, there was the cutest little baby you ever saw! I didn't even have my camera with me! I'll try to get a picture of it today!

Winter Morning

Its cold here in Michigan and we have had more then our share of snow. Early Monday morning it was like fairyland outside with all the trees covered with the nights snow. I took a few pictures just as it was getting light out. The pictures really don't do it justice, but I think you can get the idea! The gardens are covered, waiting for Spring, just like me! The creek is actually larger then the pictures show......we have had several deer visiting and I took the deer picture from my window. They like to come to the creek and then they "stare" at us through the picture window. I now know what its like to be the animal in the zoo behind glass!

Birdies

Here are a few of my "birdies" I am listing on Ebay this weekend under cabincreekprimtives, the first one is done in a vintage baby shoe. I made her with some vintage rose print fabric, added some "bursting with bloom" pip berries, and as you can see she is a pin-keep.

The second bird is made from an old tattered blue and white quilt (she even comes with a few worn spots), I perched her on a yellow ball I made from a vintage, yellow wool blanket, she has a few pip berries tucked in and she is also a pin-keep.

Third bird is sitting in a cone I made from a vintage hanky, her body is made from an old wool sweater that had some embroidered flowers. I tucked a little "nesting grass" and a few pip berries in. She hangs from a ribbon. These were fun to make and I hope to do a few others for Spring!

New Blogger

Hello,

This is my first attempt at "blogging", so please be easy on me! I live in the midwest in an old log cabin on the creek. I love sewing prim and vintage looking items (I do sell under cabincreekprimitives on Ebay), and will be showcasing some of my items here. I also love to make cards and anything paper....I think paper and fabric just go together, if ya like one, then you have to like the other!

I have been inspired by many of the other wonderful blogs and love "looking" into their homes, getting ideas for mine! I will share some of my home photos with you, as well.

I am also an avid gardner, and hope to share some of the many photos with you all from time to time.

I really would love to get a neat blog banner, so if any of you can steer me in that direction, I would be forever grateful!

I named my blog after my golden doodle "Nellie"....I will post pics of Nellie later.

Well, thanks for letting me "ramble", and I hope I can figure all this out, it seems to be easier to look at someone else's blog then doing mine!!
