Today is Tuesday




Over this weekend I had many more sales again here at Glenna's Garden http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ . I have been making use of my stimulus money to purchase supplies for the garden shop. I have oodles of projects designed and when I get the materials I will be able to start making some really sweet things for Glenna's Garden. We might be moving to a much larger studio (very nearby) and Glenna's Garden will nearly triple in size. I am so excited. I won't have to share my studio with everybody. I will have my own room finally. I have been enjoying a beautiful day today. It is warming up again. I have some pictures to share. I love the one of my fiancees grandmother from the late 1800's. She is so sweet and angelic. All of the Victorian decoration and pomp on her is gorgeous. I feel very fortunate to have a copy of this and just got her yesterday after the funeral of her daughter, my fiancess Mother. This little girl's name is Collette. She is framed now and will be hanging up among my many family members, all in black and white, that are decorating the walls of Glenna's Garden studio.
When I was a little girl I took to art before I could even write my name. Here is a picture of an Easter egg I made close to 47 years ago. Every Easter I take it out and hang it up for a bit. I thought I would share it with the world before it goes back into storage. It still has many bits of colored eggshell on it and is in excellent shape. I was on the Art Linkletter Show as a young child as well. It was so long ago I can not remember what I did on the show.

Fresh Friday



Sunny this morning up here in Manchester, NH.....this is a good morning blog. Today I will be adding bits and pieces of fresh new looks and ideas. My very nice friend Heather has a blog. So we will start with her today. She is a crafter. On her blog she shows us some great inexpensive ways to craft. Plus her blog shows all of the beautiful projects she has made. I love the latest a Victorian inspired pincushion she made, very nice. Here is Heather's Haven just click on this link below and don't forget to return back here and leave a comment for me
http://www.nightdreamer_371.bravejournal.com/ I made two graduation cards yesterday evening. They are made using vintage papers from old cards. They will be available for purchase in Glenna's Garden at http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ . Today is posting , PIF's and picture taking day at Glenna's Garden. Time to refill the shop with new items for Father's Day, there are going to be many cute quilters bookmarks, tags, stickers and books, cards for graduates, more repurposed containers and a few more boxes should be completed very soon. Later on today after picture taking there will be more pictures posted here too. This is the Christmas poinsetta blooming red in May, poor thing, she is very confused. Everybody at Glenna's Garden is getting a kick out of her late bloom. She completely skipped Christmas by the way and didn't bloom for Christmas 2008. Miss Poinsetta is about 4 maybe 5 years old at best. She loves her spot next to the big window facing southeasterly. Plenty of good morning sunshine!
