The music playing is the theme from Elizabeth, The Golden Age ............ SHE is my hero, right there next to my Mom!!!
My animal kidz ~ my birds and my iguana; gardening, flowers, herbs; nature walks; bird watching; visiting historical sites; weather watching and star gazing.
Here's a picture of Liz wearing a "necklace" Mommy made! It's actually a bracelet for a human but Liz liked it so much she decided to model it for everyone!!
I'm a proud Mom to 4 birds and 1 iguana ~ 2 cockatiels, 2 parakeets and my rescued iguana! I love my little guys, they are my best friends ~ unconditional love, lots of laughs, a few bumps and spills, and the best part is when I ask them "Who's your momma?" everyone erupts into a chorus of song and looks directly at me!! Even the iguana, even though she can't speak, she sits up straight and gives me THAT look! It's a wonderful feeling and I love them so much!
I love to do cross stitch......... done it for years now and I consider it a serious creative outlet. The Christmas Ornaments and Baby Bibs you are about to see below are just a sampling of what I do and sell on my website. They are all made from vintage, out of print patterns that I've added my own original touches to. The Christmas Ornaments are made to be hung on the wall and come with their own hook in the back. The baby bibs can be custom embellished with a loving or funny message from a doting aunt or uncle or even Grandma!
Enjoy!
