I have four beautiful cats that like to be around plants, and so I take photos in their element.

My Grandma/pa's snowy winter front yard painting by CK

It's hard to see in the painting, but in the tree on the right, there is a woodpecker eating from the bird feeder; and there is a cardinal on the post on the left.

And, I do not endorse the amerikkkn (racist) flag--my grandparents just so happen to have the flag on their shed so I painted it because I'm giving this painting to them anyway...

DIY Natural Woodland Birdhouse holiday gift idea

Here I have a bird house with glued sticks and bark. The process took about an hour, and I believe used almost four glue sticks to piece together all the materials I collected from outside. This is going to my grandmother for a holiday gift. She actually asked for a birdhouse--little does she know I didn't just go buy one. Although I did buy the "house" to glue the pieces to; but all the wood I collected from the yard.

This is a perfect craft for kids or anyone that loves crafts in general, including bird watchers/enthusiasts.

Cardinals in the Fall Pines by CK

I painted this landscape of birch, ornamental pear, cardinals a while back. I love the combination of colors--honestly, I don't think I'm going to sell or gift this painting...I'm going to keep it for myself.

Holiday gift painting "Backyard flower garden" by CK

Hey, everyone. I'm still making holiday gifts. This painting isn't really a gift I'm personally giving, but I'm getting paid to make this for someone else to give as a gift.
I made another painting which I will show you in my next post. Of course, you can always look at all my paintings at my Deviantart and tumblr pages.

Making more holiday wreath crafts + natural wreath

I made the wreath wire, then cut pine & cedar to weave into the wire , but I'm not finished 

I made this wreath with deco mesh 

And I assisted my grandma in making this wreath

Holiday DIY card craft ideas with old buttons

these buttons are older than me & I wanted to use them since my papaw found these in his shed

I repurposed the buttons to make holiday cards for family

using glue dots "zots" the buttons will stick to the card

decorate the buttons in all sorts of ways

I made the buttons as ornaments or as wreaths, and there are more ideas for button card ideas on pinterest. Go to my previous post to see other holiday craft ideas I have been doing. I will be making arts and crafts throughout the season, so I will keep you posted.

Making Deco Mesh Wreaths for the holidays (gift ideas)

The first picture is a foam tree decorated with buttons held by sewing pins. I found this craft on Pinterest as a holiday activity to decorate with or gift. I also used pinterest to get ideas for the wreaths as well.
Over the last couple of days I have made five wreaths that I wanted to show you. Some of these I will be giving away as gifts for family members. I am keeping the wreath I am holding in the picture, and the last one I am donating for a charity auction.
