And who can resist the Hydrangea?
Roses and Daylilies, really needs weedin'.
Blue Wonder rose
Not very many blooms here, but this is where I love to sit and rest.
Be sure to visit Jean at http://www.msgreenthumbjean.blogspot.com/ , Have a wonderful blessed day, Rosemarie
The first thing I'm going to do is make a nest out of angel hair. I love working with this stuff it is so natural and pliable. As you can tell I'm pulling some of the hair apart and will wrap it around and around to make my nest.
Can you see the tiny twigs? I'm wiring this onto my wreath and then will add the 3 plastic eggs.
Just add the dried Hydrangea blooms, with hot glue, around the wreath. I'm only going about three-fourths around mine. This wreath is so easy to make, anyone can do it.
The ribbon I already have is too wide, so I'm cutting it narrower. And I made my bow very uneven to give it a whimsical look.
Below is some baby's breath dried and I'm just going to add sprigs of it between my blooms. This baby's breath came out of my Valentine bouquet.
I then add tiny sprigs of the Hydrangea bloom to fill in my empty spaces.
And we're finished. This wreath took only 20 minutes to make and here I have it hanging on an old window. The window will be hung right outside my back door.
I do hope you've enjoyed this project and I thank you for visitin' Sugarplum Cottage.
My backyard, this area is going to be relandscaped this year by adding a in ground swing and lots of Daylilies and more Roses.
Sweet little Snapdragons, I love this plant. Hope you have a Bloomin' great day, Rosemarie

Barbara Bush Rose, this one is so soft and delicate looking.
And I still have Azaleas blooming. This is a late bloomer every year and has ruffle blooms.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Easter. 
You then add bird eggs, which can be purchased at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I have used bird eggs here but you can also use easter eggs. After Easter I'm keeping the blue robin eggs in the jar and taking the other out.
You can also tie a ribbon or tag to the jar. So super simple but very elegant.

Lavender clematis by my backdoor steps. This will bloom just about all year until it get real hot.
This is a pink/orange Honeysuckle vine. It was just a tiny thing when I first bought it.
An old rose by my garden shed, and as you can tell it is full of buds.
So glad you could stop by, hope you have a great day. Rosemarie
See how pretty they are. I dip a 1/4 measuring cup in my mix to get the cupcakes the same size.
Now for the icing, I make Buttercream frosting for most of my cakes.
1/2 cup of shortening
Then add the secret ingredient, KOOL-AID or JELLO that's right I added orange kool-aid for flavoring. This is an inexpensive alternative to those expensive extract, it also gives your frosting just the right color.
I was a single mom of two, for many years. During those years I learned a lot about frugal living, making do with what you have or doing with what you've got. In trying times you'd be surprised how creative you can be. This is one frugal idea I'll always use, even though I can now buy those extract flavorings. See how orange this frosting looks, make me this of push up ice cream.
You can also add dyed green coconut to make grass for the top, don't they look delicious? Trust me they are.
I hope you liked this idea, now let's see your project for this week. Thanks for stoppin by and please visit all the other participates for Project Friday. Rosemarie
He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 This verse is so precious to me, it says it all.
Clematis bloomin in the Rosemary. As you can see it is raining here this mornin'. I love photos with raindrops on them.
Be sure to go to over at Jean's to see other Bloomin' Tuesday gardens. Click on the BT picture on my sidebar. Have a wonderful Spring day, Rosemarie
Then I added my yellow the same way. Just weave the yellow in and out the pink.
And this is what it's going to look like.
Then start adding your flowers. I bought yellow and pink tulips several weeks to make a floral arrangement in a vase, but I like them with the mesh better.
Here is my finished wreath. You wouldn't believe how easy this mesh is to use. Next week I'll show you how to decorate an Easter tree with it. This wreath will be going to the store to sell. And I'm off to make another one. I'm on a roll.

**************************************************I have to go back in tomorrow for some test and a complete workup. Since I had recently lose 11 pounds, she wants to do some blood work. I tried to tell her working almost round the clock will make you lose weight, not to mention eating an unhealthy diet. So for now I'm in bed with my dog and laptop, what more does a person need?
*************************************************
Hope you can join me for Project Friday, although I haven't even started on mine yet. I have been wanting to redo the top of my refrigerator, so I may do that. But then again I want to do something for Easter or better yet I may have Walter to do a project.

Let us sit at Christ's feet and read his word. Take the time to learn more about who he is and what he is like. HAVE A GREAT DAY, ROSEMARIE
Here is one of my Dogwood trees with a red Camellia in the background. Camellia are what I call winter roses, in a few weeks most all the blooms will be gone. Doesn't the red and white look gorgeous?
More Azaleas along with a bench sitting in my front yard.
While out taking pictures today I got a photo of two lizards, looks like they are thinking of moving in. I may not have any birds left, once these two fellers make their rounds
Hope you have a great Gardenin' day. Let's go play in the dirt, Rosemarie
I do hope it won't be long.
Hope you have a God blessed day, Rosemarie
Awwwe, these precious pieces of china has pink on them.
And this set of berry bowls, which is like Pyrex.

Happy Pink Saturday, please be sure to go visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound to see other Pink Saturday post. Blessings, Rosemarie
This cup and saucer was one I won in a give-away from Country Romantic at http://countryromantic.blogspot.com/
Squeeze a generous amount onto cup and mix.
Turn your saucer upside down and glue cup in the center of saucer, like the one on the right. The one on the left is glued with the cup in the saucer because I'm gonna glue another plate on top of it.
In the meantime I used a flower frog and stuck a few sprigs of rosemary in it and sat it on the plate.
I then used a candle votive, this one is from Home Interior and placed it over the rosemary, tied a ribbon and tag... I'm done.
This one has a handmade birds nest and plastic eggs on the plate, and then covered with a dome.
Or you can use a glass globe and use it as a candle holder.
Hope you enjoy this weeks project and thank you for visitin' Sugarplum Cottage.
When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126: 1-3 NIV
I laid my letters front side down and traced them with a pencil. I then cut them out and applied mod podge to glue them on the wood.
Last I painted around the edges of each letter with different colors of acyclic paint, really I should of done this first. I had to be careful not to get any paint on the paper.
And the results....... just peachy keen. Laaaw I never thought they'd turn out this pretty. And just look at how easy this was.
You could also use buttons or ribbon to decorate your letters more. I do hope Denise at http://lookbeyondthepicketfence.blogspot.com/ sees these. She does a wonderful job on all her paper crafts. You must go by and see her.
White Spirea and Wisteria

Have you every seen these little tablets of compressed peat moss with the seeds in them? I don't know how they do it but it starts out being about 1/2" thick.......
.... and them a pot full of soil when you add water to it. Have you every used these little compressed seedlings tablets? I haven't so I'm keeping my hummm, thumbs crossed.
I have placed them in front of 2 sets of french doors, so I know they will get plenty of light. Just hope these birds don't eat the seed. Have a great day, Rosemarie
And this is my azalea up close. This bush is huge and it is hard to capture the beauty on camera.
