Hello Everyone!
It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time Kathy is the hostess and she has chosen the theme "HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS". She would like you to create some home decor for the holiday season. You can make centerpieces, wreaths, banners, ornaments, wall hangings, or little vignettes... basically anything BUT a card for this challenge. If you don't celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, then just make some home decor with a wintry theme. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!
All of the following products that I used can be purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique

These photos are all from a couple of weeks ago.
For my landscape photo today, a few beautiful leaves clinging onto their branches.

For my birds today, I have this beautiful Red Winged Blackbird...
this sweet female Sparrow.
and a Red Breasted Nuthatch grabbing a snack from my hand.
This is normally where I would put a photograph of BON JOVI.
There will be no more photographs of my beautiful ginger squirrel.
I realize not everyone is interested in my wildlife hobby, so I have written her story in a separate post, for those of who would like to know happened...

HENRY is having a hard time finding any green leaves to munch on, so I take lettuce with me now.

This sweet girl flashes me one last thank you glance before disappearing into The Shire.
"Beggin your pardon Ma'am, but if you wouldn't be offended, I'll just stay here and you can throw me a peanut. If it's not too much trouble, that is."
No reason why you can't enjoy breakfast and grab some sun at the same time!
Back on the home front, we have ROCKY, wet as all get out! Oh isn't he a hoot!
And my sweet sweet precious KAREN having a nibble. I can't wait to show you how she looks now. She's growing in her winter coat and she's doubled in size in the last few weeks! HA!
Last but not least, my macro for the day.
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
How long I did not visit your blog, Pamellia !!!

Sorry to hear about Bon Jovi. Your home decor art is stunning and I adore the way you dressed up the stag head with the glitter and beautiful flowers and pinecone. Gorgeous design and I am sure it looks fabulous in your house.

Hi Pamellia... Your creation is pure bliss! LOVE the colours and the softness of this and it's so pretty! Brilliant photos once again ... You bird shots are so clear and I'm saving that sparrow shot ... Going to try and draw him and paint him too so thank you for sharing! Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteOh Pamellia... poor dear Bon Jovi, such a senseless act of barbarism, my heart goes out to you!
ReplyDeleteYour hanging is just stunning, the stag head is a wonderful addition and he looks splendid in his sparkly antlers and the white poinsettia is gorgeous!
Love your woodland shots too, your macro today is fantastic. Rocky is such a cutie too! Hugs, Anne xx
Love the white creation, so luxurious. Great photos too. Sorry about Bon Jovi, what a shame that some people are so wicked. That must have hit you hard. I've not been very well here, had a nasty lupus flare up which is still causing me problems. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletePINNED this beauty! It's so hard for me to do all white, and you've done it beautifully. I LOVE the deer too...so elegant and yet shabby! Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely Christmas creation Pamellia.

Hi, Pamellia! The gentleness of your touch - and seeing the RBN eating from your hand - is soothing and quieting. Such loveliness - and what a beautiful soul you unleash into the air for the tiniest of critters to feel that comfortable with you. Lovely photos - your wintry home decor item is just as peaceful, gentle, and soul captivating. Gorgeous! hugs, de
