New Switch plate decal sticker

I get allot of orders for light switch plates and now I have something new. It's a decal sticker to put over your existing switch plate. It's made out of poly woven fabric that you can wipe clean. It's removable with no sticky residue and repositionable.  You could change them for a seasonal look for the holidays or just a change in décor. There will be allot more decals in my shop soon.  Endless fun with decals and art!

Botanical Sketchbook art on fabric

New Botanical fabric design with flowers collected from my garden for fabric, wallpaper, decals  and gift wrap found in my spoonflower shop http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/4518623 .  Always some new finds to press, endless experimenting.

 

Favorite Delphinium Blue Skies

I have sooooooo many favorites and yes they are usually blue, my favorite color!  This is Blue Sky Delphinium with a little rain from the evening before. I love getting two blooming's out of them but you really have to keep after the slugs and they love a good rich soil and fertilizer. Gorgeous Right! I have a close-up of one of the blossoms in my Spoonflower Fabric shop, here's the link directly to it:

Chocolate Cosmos astrosanguineus

Chocolate Cosmos astrosanguineus is another of my favorite perennials and beautiful pressed too. It's hardy zones 8-9 so I do protect them in my zone 7 garden with some evergreen bows during winter. They like partial to full sun and grows up to prox 18" tall. It blooms summer through autumn and is herbaceous (meaning all the foliage dies down for winter) and will come up again in spring. This photo has the morning due on them but they usually have a velvety appearance of reddish brown to blackish and scented with chocolate and it really does smell like chocolate, who wouldn't like that.

Blue Poppy

Well lets start out 2015 with the beautiful Blue Poppy, my all time favorite flower. I found this one and a whole garden patch of these during my trip to Scotland last year, what a treat. Actually my husband spotted them and knew they were my favorite.   So many things going on that I have not posted since last year in March, wow! I have plans to add pressed flower projects to my blog along with the gardening tips and photos. I plan to add more digital downloads in my Etsy shop so you can make the pressed flower projects that I make yourself along with instructions to show you how. I am already looking forward to spring in January like I always do.  We get teased with some warm weather days in January so it's not unusual to find me out in the garden and mowing the lawn even though winter has really just begun. It's time to make plans for the garden with the seed catalogs in hand and dreaming of something new for the garden.
