Ordered silk ribbons and dye from Ribbonsmyth. The only ribbon in this pic that I didn't dye is the dark green one. This was just practice, trying out different flowers with no particular design in mind. Lots of fun.

This is a bench a local crafts-person made using an antique iron headboard and some shutters. It got broken, but my dad redid the whole thing to make it sturdy, then I added the ticking curtains to hide the junk stored under there. This is in my laundry room. I decorate it for whatever season it happens to be.

Nearly sunset- the leaves are suspended from a ginormous banana spider web that nobody seems to have the nerve to knock down. Inside this shed is an extremely spooky old cellar with precarious steps leading down to it. One day i'll figure out how to get a picture of it, as there's no lights in there...

Just messing about with the camera in the parlor while putting out my fall doohickeys and thingamabobs.
