Gratitude, Joy, Merry, Thanks, and all of those wonderful words we need to use more
I hope your day is a Merry one! Isn't that a great word? I love Merry and Joy both, I'm not sure which is my all time favorite word, maybe Joy. We've tried to make each of those words part of our celebrations. Oh, there have been tummy aches, forgotten homework assignments. a case of t...
WOW...how exciting! The description and images that you let us peek in on look amazing! This is such a well deserved honor, Karla. Congratulations!

The Gilded Journey
A few months back, I was asked to participate in this book by Anne Freund and Cynthia Schaffer. It is now out and ready for sale here. and I think on Amazon, too. It looks like it is going to be a beauty. These pics are just lovely, and I'm impressed by the list of artists who have contri...
Karla, It looks so different, but what you have done is just stunning! I love the double shower curtains open so you can see that delicious marble. Did you use two curtain rods for the curtains?
I love the new look and I bet Dewdrop will too!

New marble tile in the bathtub and some much needed deep cleaning
Last February, I repainted and did a mini redo on the guest bathroom, after Dewdrop asked me to paint it pink for her. Of course, I like pink too, so was happy to do it. The tub is original to the house and was awful. We'd put up a cheapo, plastic surround that never looked good either. I ...
I am so happy to hear that you and Karla have decided to go to Deb's fabulous affaire!! You will be treated like the heiresses that you both really are! Be sure to take lots of photos and share with all of us! So excited for you....

What Does An Heiress Pack for Her Vacation?
It's the beginning of January, with its short days, long nights, low light and seemingly unending bleakness. What's a girl to do? Plan something to look forward to, and that's just what Karla and I decided to do. At the end of February we're going to this art event. It's on Coronado Island ...
I love these pretty, sweet banners so much that I decided that I need one!! The pink one...just adorable and "so Karla."

Sugarplum Fairy Banners
It is hard to make up my mind, sometimes "JOY" is my favorite word for the season, other times it is "Merry". I can't go wrong either way, both are full of holiday cheer. Of course, with Thanksgiving coming up, "Thankful" is another one that is on my mind. Well, I'm feeling them all. I am...
Geez...looks like I need to start driving back to Missouri! Loved getting to see you again this year at Bird Song. Happy Birthday, Beth!

Mark Your Calendar: Old Summit Antique Show
Mark your calendar for NEXT Saturday June 21 for the Old Summit Antique Show. It's my favorite show to sell at and shop at. I'll be selling in my usual spot in front of the stage.
Thanks, Angie. I will be traveling again this year with my friend, Cheryl and we would both love to come and help you celebrate your very special day. I cannot wait to see your shop. Cheryl visited it last year but I was at Bird Song so I missed out. Can't wait!

Birdsong Eve Bonus Night Birthday Party with Angie
Last year, at Birdsong 3, my dear friend, Angie, joined us for our Birdsong Eve dinner at Genovese, and even brought cupcakes to celebrate her birthday. This year, she is inviting us to her shop in North Lawrence to toast her special day. If you would like to join us for pizza, salad, win...
What sweet, lovely memories...Can't wait for Bird Song 4 and the chance to once again be reunited with the flock of Peeps that always find their way to Karla's Cottage in the springtime.

Scenes from Birdsong 3, 2013
Our weekend was such fun! Great friends, lovely projects, and lots of treats. Here are some photos of our gathering, June 2013. Hopefully we will see you in the photos for 2014?
I love all three exquisite pieces but my heart goes with the sweet cone/nosegay. It is so lacy, delicate and lovely.
Thank you.....

Free Fairy Tale images and some workshop prep
If you are wondering why there is nothing new in my shops, it's because my studio has become Kit Central. I'm gathering up all the elements needed for my Book of Enchantments for Snow White, plus brain storming projects for Birdsong 3, as well as a super secret surprise gathering that I am do...
Dewdrop is sweet and lovely in vintage goodness. In the fourth photo the crest of the chairback becomes her crown!

What a Doll
My tiny girl came over to play the other night, and was in the mood for a little dress up. I had been cutting up vintage fabrics to make trim for An Enchanted Affair in April, and came across this dress. It was too cute to start chopping on, so we decided that Dewdrop should wear it. She...
Love the newly added chalk, cloaked fairy tale ladies. They add magic to the sparkle! Everything is just so pretty!

A glittery woodland holiday
This year, one of my Christmas trees has a "Birdsong" theme. I had a box filled with birdies and gifts and projects packed away from that arty weekend, and loaded all of it onto my nature inspired tree. If glittery silver trees existed in nature, that is. There are some butterflies on it...
WOW...Congratulations, Karla!!! It always feels cozy and warm, like I am visiting a girlfriend when I visit your blog. I am sure that most all of your visitors feel the same way. Thanks for sharing your good times, your trials, your family, your magical relationship with Sugarwings and Dewdrop, your pets, your life and of course, your art with us. You are loved!

Two Millionth Visitor
No, I'm not talking about the puppies. There were days when 9 pups climbing all over me, felt like a million or so, but I meant my blog- sometime over night, my TWO MILLIONTH visitor came by! Oh my. I certainly never expected that when I first started my blog and had 3 people a week looking...
I hope that all your cursed Wednesdays have ended and that your boo boos are healing. I am seriously considering going to An Enchanted Affair and sitting at the "newbie" table with you...now that I know that no Wednesdays are involved...cough...cough....

Buddies, ouchies, and curses- beware of Wednesdays!
These guys have grown since I took this photo! My Dorothy Rosebud and Albie Brave and Strong (yes, we use their full names, dorky as that is) weighed in at the vet's office at 2.2 and 3 lbs. Doctor Bayouth seconded my son's diagnosis about the swelling on tiny Dorothy's belly. I was afraid...
Love the pictures of all those tiny faces looking, (glaring), up at you over the top of the tub...just priceless. It will be fun to look back on these photos when they are all grown up and maybe even have families of their own.

Bath time!
Before the babies left, I gave them their first real bath. They'd been washed up and tidied plenty of times, but this was the first time they'd been tossed in the tub together. And they weren't quite sure if they liked it! Mom jumped in with them, she loves baths. And they decided to ...
I just love what you did with the shadow box! It absolutely looks haunted and eerie....

Bye Bye Fairies, Hello Ghosts!
Isn't this fairy from Linda sweet as can be? It's sad that the Faery Book Swap is over! I made a couple more pages, as thank yous to some sweet people. And I have extra covers that I hope to list on Etsy or in the Boutique. If I ever get a spare minute to do it! In the fairy frenzy, I'd ...
I cannot wait until Romantic Gothic Ghosts and visiting the cottage and crafting in the studio with one of those sweet little puppies cuddled in my lap. I just might need to take one home. Lacy needs a playmate.
So glad that you are safely back at your home sweet home with sweet Twinkle, the new puppies, and adorable Dew Drop with the beautiful blue eyes.

Pretty babies
I'm back from my trip and Twinkle was a busy girl while I was gone. So was Aunt Sandy! I was glad she was here to take over, having an RN in charge of the difficult birth was a godsend. The difficulties arose from Twinkle having NINE pups to deliver! After the second, not much happened. W...
Happy Birthday to you, sweet little Sugarwings. I hope that you do know that you have the very best grandma in the whole wide world. You too, Dewdrop. Karla, you are making memories with these two little fairy girls that they will never forget.

Happy birthday Sugarwings!
Sugarwings' birthday was such a fun day for us. We went to lunch at T. Rex to see the dinosaurs, but at first, Dewdrop wasn't sure if we should go in. Once she realized that there were cute little baby dinosaurs there, she was fine.( I don't know why the restaurant keeps the biggest, scariest...

Yep, still making fairy pages!
How could I not keep making fairy pages for the swap when I come across perfect images like this one!? I only need 8 pages to trade myself, but I think that I'm up to 15 now. This vintage advertising card was so pretty, all she needed was some wings, she was already a fairy like lady. I pu...

A nice memory recreated and a giveaway
A while back, I saw some doily bowls on Becky's blog. They reminded me of the baskets my sissy used to make 30 plus years ago, she hand crocheted them, then stiffened the fabric. I'd had a pile of doilies set aside, thinking I'd do this last Easter and never did it. I thought they'd be prett...
