Hi ! MY NAME IS CAROL!
My blog is SilverSpring Acres Labors of Love.
I live in Missouri in the United States about 50 miles west of St. Louis. My home is on a 3 acre lot where I grow my flowers, vegetables and herbs and create my art.
I have always been a creative person from early childhood . If I am not creating something I am not complete and will become a very irritable and unhappy person.
I also love fiber arts and am a compulsive crocheter :) I love to dye yarn also.
Currently I'm creating these adorable KITTY PODS for the fur babies in my life and for those who have felt a need to purchase one for their babies.
My art is often inspired by my garden and flowers....
I also love to do faces and things slightly on the whimsical side
I also love to make soaps, salves ,lotions, tinctures and teas using the herbs out of my garden .
So as you can see I bounce all over the place with my creative endeavors.
Thanks for checking out my blog!

ReplyDeleteGood Evening Carol! The coneflowers!!! Those kitty pods are awesome!
ReplyDeleteNow I know what those pods are for. For some reason, I missed that they were kitty pods.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: where do you buy your lye now that the meth cookers have caused local stores to take it off their shelves?
I was going to make soap last weekend, but when I went to buy lye at the grocery store, then the hardware store, people at the hardware store looked me over like I was some kind of freak. Didn't even know that meth was made using lye until someone told me. I lead a VERY sheltered life, it seems.
Glad to see you made it to the party.
You throw a great party. Thank you for inviting me!
ReplyDeleteSo that you know, I've become a Follower and when time permits, I'll be back to see what other beautiful things were made by your hands!
