Zombies in Wonderland.

 I hosted my annual zombie doll swap again.  

My theme this year was "Zombies in Wonderland."  My partner requested Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. So I made these fellows for her.  Okay, so a fellow and a half. (well, SOMEONE had to win the argument...)
Dee's brain is exposed and Dum got the cute hat....

I jotted a quick poem to go with them.....

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Were bullies to the core.
They picked on people young and old
Whenever they got bored.

A sickly crow, lay on the road 
(poor bird, he took a header.)
But staying true to bully form,
They plucked out all his feathers.

Soon Tweedle Dee was feeling odd
And Tweedle Dum no better
It seems they caught the crow's disease
And now are
"Dead" and "Deader."


The End

As you can imagine, Deader is the guy that is just a head!  

The very next day,  one wicked Mad Hatter arrived in the mail for me!

Complete with Jabberwocky bone walking cane.  He only has one good eye and is missing a few fingers.........




I tell you, the detail on this doll is AMAZING and I am so lucky to have him.  I am getting ready to place him in my piano pumpkin patch this week!  Debbie is a doll artist, her work is amazing.  I am so lucky to have been the recipient of one of her creations!
Thank you Debbie! (click to go to her blog)

Nature's Glory....

Every morning, this wreath is covered with Morning Glory blooms......which couldn't make me happier!  I check on it daily and it just makes me smile.  People out walking always comment on how pretty it is.  I love it because it is so simply.  Just nature taking over, really.

I planted this vine 6 years ago.  It is a wild vine and almost too successful!  This year, I put the wreath out hoping for it to cover the wreath....and lucky for me, it did.  Believe me, that doesn't happen often!

Mosaic Monday

My first birdbath made from a terracotta saucer.  I gave this one to my dad many years ago....

little silhoutte

We saw this little gecko on our trellis the other night....I love how the light shines up through the leaf and illuminates it.......

ever present to some........

Please never let yourself forget......



Apparently some people already have.........so now we must remember those who died in the Benghazi attacks on 9 11 last year.   



To add insult to injury, these people knew what was coming and asked for help NUMEROUS times...but it never came.

Another fish birdbath.....I love this goldfish with the big bubbles!

no need for pink.....

I'd be happy to have either set in my yard this season!
