WELCOME TO MY "MAMMA MIA ROOM"

I found this old door at a barn sale years ago. I think it makes a neat visual entrance to my "idealic" outdoor "Mamma Mia Room".  How I made the Sunflowers was described in an ealier post.  As you see I like to use lots of colored bottles, ferns, rocks and little found pieces as garden sculpture. The hanging wind chimes were made out of tin can lids punched with nail & hammer and wired together. Some of them I painted for fun! I painted several picture designs for the room also.

ENJOYING "MAMMA MIA ROOM"

I enjoy this area early morning with my cup of coffee and magazine.  Now that we have two new kittens, all four cats want to get on my lap or table as soon as I come out!  A lot of the leaves have fallen now but  I think it is  a very idealic spot!  I have painted pictues, made tablecloth  and pillows, added coloed bottles, hung wind chimes, added rock stone path, and ferns and hostas.

NEW PILLOW FOR THE "MAMMA MIA ROOM"

Even though the season is about over I made a new pillow for "My Mamma Mia Room".It's out of a dress!  I have a closet floor full of bags of material, a lot of it clothing (from the thrift store) that I like the material it's made out of .

FALL FABRIC PICTURE

This FALL FABRIC PICTURE was made on our recent 56th Wedding Anniversary trip. It's so fun to pick the subject, different fabrics and then see it come together!. I used several different fabrics in the leaves.

FALL DISPLAY

We have a built-in cabinet with display shelf in the kitchen. I change the displays seasonally. This picture shows part of this FALL'S DISPLAY.

THINKING FALL!

I cut out the SUNFLOWERS out of  1x6" boards, drilled hole for small dowel, sticks, painted with acrylic paint, sprayed with clear protective spray and stuck in flower pots along with blue bottles on dowel sticks or tree branches.  I use SUNFLOWERS in flower boxes, containers ( like a bouquet) and anywhere else I want some fall color!
