Tuesday with the "Kims" and the Winner(s)!

It's Tea on Tueasday with Kimmie at Art in Red Wagons...what are you up to this week? Well, here it's still wedding planning of course...

and, now that Lent is over, eating potato chips again! Hopefully, not as many as before. :)

I also, think there will be a focus on the garden as long as it dries up a bit. I placed a big online order for plants and seeds and a few have come already! You can visit everyone else for tea here and I'm sure Kimmie would love to have you join up!

Today, is also Texture Tuesday with Kim at the Cafe. The challenge was to use the "serendipity" texture of hers. All of these photos were altered with one to two layers of "serendipity". The challenge next week is that your photo has to include a cup...?! I'm ahead of the game! Head over to check out the other Texture Tuesday entries.

Make your own tin can with labels! Just remove the can label, use a nail and hammer to punch two holes, then wire on a clothespin. My label is made with scraps and machine embroidery but you could hand embroider, or just use scraps of paper. Stitch (or glue) some together for an interesting layered look. My can came from an auction filled with old nails and whatnot so has a nice aged look, but a new one will look just fine too!

I decided to draw for two winners from last Tuesdays with the Kims post for clay tags! The winners are Redcasa and Halle! (drawn by my little Audrey) I will be trying to contact you, but if I can't find an email for you, please contact me!

Such pretty photos and cute idea for a tin can. I'm crocheting cozy covers for cans at the moment. :) Happy Tuesday to you. Tammy

What a perfect way to stash stuff and boy do I have stuff!! Of course love the pictures. Best wishes on the wedding preparations. My cardinal is a good boy and sits outside my window so I sit very still on the other side of the glass!!

Congrat's to the winners! What a great idea on those tin cans, Jill! Oh, and I was drive by blogging for a little bit in between projects and saw the most adorable nametag settings made out of chubby little branches. Hopefully I can find it again and pass along the link for you to peek at as well! Beautiful photos, as always! xo, Sue

Oh thank you so much!! Special thanks to little Audrey! Love the mug. The glaze on it is fantastic. I love stoneware and the uniqueness of each piece.

I particularly like the third & last image, because of the warm light the texture gives. Love the fabric label.
