Metamorphosis Monday - Old Pillow Remade

I had this old country pillow that was way past its prime. I had some small pieces of very pretty tropical fabrics and some painter's canvas. I decided they might make a pretty good pillow. The island living was done on tee shirt transfer paper.

I'm joining Susan at www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com for Metamorphosis Monday. Check out her site; it is very inspirational.

Flowers from Aaron

Yesterday was my birthday and after a very full day, starting with a phone call from Aaron from Afghanistan and ending with dinner out at one of my favorite restaurants; I got home and found these waiting for me. What a great way to end the day. Thanks Aaron.

As most of you have gathered by now, I love miniatures. I participate in several (read many) miniature groups online. One does an annual birthday swap and this is the 2nd year that I have participated.

Ruby Tuesday - A little red in the 'mini' restaurant

This is rather a cross post. First I love miniatures and I love the color red. This is a miniature restaurant scene done in a clear plastic paint pail. It is lighted in the back. It is in 1 inch scale.
