Spring has Sprung!

Spring has definitely Sprung here in So Cal!  I've been inspired to create some nature ornaments, and came up with the one above last week.  Don't you think the mother bird deserved a crown for all the hard work she does?
I'll be in Encinitas next Sat. the 28th for a street fair, so come out and enjoy if you live nearby.
Hope you're doing well, and have a wonderful weekend!
Take care,
Martha

Time for the Show

Well it's a lovely day here in sunny California.  But alas, I can't really get outside and enjoy it.  I just noticed it is already March 2nd, and I must start pushing myself toward creating.  With upcoming deadlines I tend to dilly dally.  It doesn't make much sense but the more work I have the more you'll see me puttering around the house, visiting blogs ( I love seeing your beautiful blogs, but sheesh I need to place a time limit doing it), working on my website, walking the dogs, and reading magazines.  So I must force myself to stay on track and just work.   After Christmas, I kind of got used to spending some time off, and really enjoyed it.  But looking at the upcoming craft show crunch, I'm determined to get going.  So here I go.  I mean it really here I go.  Come on girl... OK on the count of 3, 1... 2.... 3...  GO!

Sending Spring Your Way

Spring seems to have come early to California today.  I thought I'd send you some Springtime wishes your way especially if you find yourself a little (or a lot) tired of Winter.  Today I went to Sea World and it was such a beautiful day.  They have such pretty plantings of flowers, and I took a few photos for you.  The placement and combination of plants used at Sea World are so perfect, and I love getting inspiration for my own garden there.  They pack their plants in ball-like hangers, and beautiful cobalt blue pots.  

My son and got to pet one of the Budweiser Clydesdales.  This horse was really big and sweet.  I'm about 6 ft. tall so you can get a good idea of just how big this horse was.  

I hope you had a great weekend, and enjoy the photos!  ~Martha
