happy monday everyone! w/ less than a week before my "shady" summer season starts @ my lil white cottage...i have been running @ full tilt. but it would seem that i am not the only one on the "ranch" doing so. a walk thru the lawn the other day & i spied my nemesis...mr. gopher...busy @ work making mounds of earth scattered around the grass. a quick investigation sent me running for the house...not for my rifle {see last post}...but for my camera. and why you ask? well...have a peek @ the artwork he laid forth...
ok. how can that not make you smile? i decided to make peace with him for the time being and leave him alone. hubby on the other hand. all i can say is think caddy shack...bill murray...'nuff said!
well leave it to some critter to be the inspiration behind a post! got me thinking about the "hole in my heart". i know...sounds pretty dramatic but really was just a good title. but i do have other hearts with holes. you might remember the sparkly bracelet giveaway i did back in january. i will have these lil numbers {below} waiting for you this weekend.
a past necklace design i did came to mind as well. and since i sold the original & wanted to have something "fresh" to wet your whistle with...i just emerged from my MAKE room with this lovely in tow. i am pretty tickled with how she turned out! see for yourself {below}.
moving onto last night's creation. after a day spent @ my cottage setting the stage...i had a burst of creative energy. and though there is no hole in this heart {below}...the reclaimed tin accent was in somewhat of a "hole" so i thought i would throw it out there today for you to see. don't ya "LOVE" it??
now like my gopher friend...i must be movin' along. he doesn't seem to be @ a lack of energy so i will continue on w/ him as my motivation. just so he doesn't leave too many works of "art" in our lawn.
my heart is full of excitement for a wonderful weekend to come. hope you can stop by if you are in the neighborhood. otherwise i will be chatting with you all @ the next session of show & tell! thanks for stopping...and
make a great day!
Love this! AND I LOVE my necklace!! I get so many compliments on it, thank you so much!!

What a great theme for a post! When I first read the title 'a hole in my heart' I was a little afraid of what I'd read next. :) But happy that it was full of good stuff... especially that necklace! Love it!

That gopher is a true artist.
I hope you spare him since he gave you his heartfelt apologizes for wrecking the yard. LOL
