My Miniature Christmas Cloche......:)


Hi Sweet Friends...

Happy Monday to All!!


This is probably the first time
I am so early in making Christmas
treasures this year. I was so excited
about this cute little cloche I made
today.

I was walking around Michael's
yesterday and came upon all the
Christmas items. I was looking through
the glass votive candle holders which
upside down they looked like little
cloches...and so inspired the idea to
make some! I bought some little
Christmas figures, glittery foliage,
and trims. I bought the little mirrors
tp use as the base. The little round mirrors
were pre-etched with a design which
gave it a nice finished look.
I then cut some sparkly felt into
a circle and used this as my base to glue the
little embellishments to.





I am probably going to glue the little "cloche"
to the mirror base so it will not move around
and dislodge the little scene. :)













 So my head is now spinning with visions of different little cloche scenes.



I am still wanting to open my little shop soon so these
cute little creations will probably be for sale!! :)



Love to All,

Susan
xxoo

    That is cute! I wonder if the cloche would fit a plate with an inside depressed ring= less likely to slide, perhaps, and no glue needed. Just a thought......

    Susan honey what a lovely Christmas cloche you have created. I love this.
    Wish I could visit more but both the North Forty and the house and town are waiting on me.
    I am so sore but yesterdays work over there that I am late getting there today. But this house needs my attention too. lol
    Wish you all the luck in opening your little Etsy shop I know you really want to do it

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
