“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

It used to be this, now it's that





How are you?
I'm feeling great! 
Just now getting ready for some
chamomile tea and hummus toast .
How are we in the middle of the year already??
This year has really gone by faster than I can believe!
I'm not a big fan of Summer..
probably because we have Summer weather
 for about five months out of the year.
Although I do love our monsoons😀
...................................................................................
So have you been creating lately?
I bought a couple little ceramic mushrooms at the dollar store 
and since I cannot leave things the way they are,
changed them up a bit & turned them into tiny fairy houses.
Think I'll get a few more and turn them into a village for our mantle.
Originally, they had shiny dark brown and maroon tops.
 

 

There's also a design team project to show you too!

Last week, the weather was actually incredibly mild, cool for us.
So I went for a walk at a trail nearby.
I spotted a little light bulb on the ground and immediately thought,
that could be turned  into a bug, lol
 
 
 
After painting the metal part with copper glitter paint
& attaching a Carnival Cupie head to the end,
I added cardboard wings
 and popped him inside a clear plastic craft ornament that I had embellished 
with metallic ribbon.

 
you can find adorable doll parts at
Lisa Kettell's Etsy 
The ribbon and the craft ornament are from Dollar Tree.

Well, my tea is ready, So I'll leave you with this sunset photo I took a few days ago.


Have a great Sunday!

  2. WOW, Marfi, those mushrooms will make a great village. You have a great head start, too.

    I LOVE your light bulb idea. It is quite clever.

    Your sunset is spectacular and I LOVE your June watermelon. I'm also not a fan of summer. You can always add more clothes, but you can never take off enough and still go out in public.

  3. I'm so glad Summer is on the way. Winter seems to last forever. Your mushroom fairy houses are adorable. The lightning bulb doll is very clever. Enjoy your day!

  4. I love what you did with those mushrooms. And it's wonderful how you found something discarded and created such a fun piece from it. The sunset was beautiful, and you captured the colors :)

  6. You are so creative... I can’t wait to see your village! Yes, hard to believe it’s June already, and yes, this year is going incredibly fast...but my mom always told me that the older you get, the faster time passes. True dat. We, however, are still waiting for summer....last night there were actually frost warnings. Since we only have 3 good months of summer, it is becoming very frustrating. ~Robin~
