Birdhouse Gourd Flower Vase

See the two cute little girls in the middle of the picture?  The one on the right is my daughter Kaitlyn.  She is in the 5th grade this year.  For a class project, they were to bring in a ceremony piece for their teacher.  Kaitlyn chose to make a flower vase totally from nature.  She took one of my birdhouse gourds that Scott grew for me to craft with and emptied it out.  Next she took sandpaper and lightly sanded it off and then washed it.  We drilled holes around the nape of the neck of the gourd and put Marigolds down in that part.  Next Scott gathered flowers from the garden that he and Kaitlyn planted and  Kaitlyn put them in the vase.  Isn't she so talented??

 I think that I will link this up to a few parties this week.

Below is a close up of the handcrafted vase.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Flirty Camo Girl Owl

Father's Day Hunting Owl

And finally here he is....drum roll please......the new hunting father's day Owl!!!!  

 I know, I know---he is so cute.  don't you just love his eyes.  He is also made with the Provo Craft Cricut Expressions Machine,  (well pattern from that anyways).  He is  perfect for that little tom girl or even for a little boy that wants a small pillow on his bed.  I wish that I had made a small bow and arrow for him.....hmmmm...might have to do that to give him more character.  Thanks for visiting my blog and again I love followers and comments.    See below for the parties that I am linking to.   So Sad, I was not able to get up at 4:30 am this morning and link soooo I will be linking this afternoon.

Orange U Glad I'm an Owl!!!

This lil ol orange owl is a one of a kind owl.  I made him from a little girls sweatshirt.  See the cute little stars on her ear?  Anyway she is packed up and ready for the next craft show.  We have a few more owls joining the Great Owl Party, so stick around for the next few days.  Please consider following this blog and Comments are always welcome. 

Used the Provo Craft Cricuit Machine to cut out this pattern.  I will show more details on how the pattern was actually made a little later on.  The Sizzix Circle Die was used in the Big Shot Machine to make the eyes.  The stars in the center of the eyes was taken from a little ballerina skirt that had stars on the end of it.  I think that they made the perfect eyes for this little one, don't u?  I used the cartridge that you see advertized by Amazon below to cut the pattern starter from the Provo Craft Cricuit Expressions Machine.  Thanks for stopping by!!!

 

Lil Ol Plaid Owl

Sorry that this little owl is all scrunched up...but.... he is getting ready for a craft show that we have coming up.  He was made from the Cricut Pattern that I adjusted and made using the Cricut Owl cartridge.  See the ad from Amazon below.  This is the cartridge that I used.  Made some tweaks to it and then got right to work with the help of my dear Mother.  His eyes are made using the Sizzix Circle Die and the brads are from Michaels.  Hope that you enjoy the different owls.  I LOVE COMMENTS!!!! I am linking up to a few parties today, am a bit late in doing this but I guess better late than never.  Camera did not want to cooperate this morning before work.

Ready For Flight Owl

This little owl is different from the other owls that have made their dabue this past week.  He was also made using the Cricut Pattern that I customized.  He looks like he is ready to take off with his wings spread.  He is a one of a kind little owl.  All of the owls that you see here on this blog are for the craft shows that my Mother and I go to.  Hope that you have enjoyed your visit to my little corner in blog land.  Please consider becoming a follower and leave me a comment with your web address and I will follow you back.  Comments are welcome.  Just scroll down a bit and click on the comment button below that party links.  Thanks and have a very pleasant day.

Brown Pokey Dot Owl

This little brown pokey dot owl has decided to join in on the owl party.  This owl was made using the same pattern as the others listed on the blog.  The original pattern was cut using the Cricut Cartridge and then tweaking it a bit.  The eyes are the circle Sizzix die cuts and then brads from Michaels to hold the stars on the eyes.  The feet come off of another pattern.  Hope that you have enjoyed visiting the blog and please take time to look at the other owls while you are here visiting.  Feel free to leave comments.  More owls will be joining the Great Owl Party.  Sign up to follow by google or via email for quick updates as they are added to my blog.  Thanks again for the visit.  Below are the parties that I am linking up to today.  If you have a party going on please let me know and I will gladly link up and follow your site.
