Well, it's still snowing here in Fort Worth. Although the snow is beautiful, downed power lines have left us in the dark indefinitely. Daddy & the kids made a sled out of an old turtle sandbox, while I sat by the fire & finished a project.
A little nest bag.
I made a loom out of cardboard & used grapevine for the handle.
A birdie in it's nest.
Pictures of our winter whites.
Taken by my husband,
at 1am. Surreal, huh?

What a beautiful bag! The 1 AM photo has me mesmerized!
I know it's miserable (sometimes) to be in, but it certainly is beautiful! Is that your house in the background? If so, has it been in previous posts? That's wonderful! I'd love to see more photos.
Your little nest bag is so sweet. There's certainly a dreaminess about being snowed in and spending time creating treasures...
Thanks for sharing!
By the way, in your previous blog, that little piece of lace is tatting -- did you know that? I love tatting; my mom used to do it. It's labor intensive, but so wonderful.
Have a great weekend! Hope you get power soon.
I just love the nest bag. I've made cardboard looms like that-fun and easy! I like the vine handle.
The snow pictures are beautiful, the lighting is awesome and I love the house. Stay warm & create! Sherry
Sorry to hear you have a power outage- hope you are keeping warm! Snow isn't quite so much fun without heat! I love the nest bag- very creative! And the photos are stunning!
One word: BEAUTIFUL!
I love the nest bag. Really cute.
The pictures are fabulous. And here in the Rio Grande Valley it was in the low 60s and we had sunshine. That's Texas for ya.

Your photos are beautiful!
The last photo taken at 1 a.m. looks like Mother Nature finally took a break for a moment and asked herself, "Now why did I go and do that?"
Sandy

Hi! i discovered your blog 2 days ago and i am already in love. then this morning I was reading Charlene's blog and realized you are a Texan blogger. I love all your creations. Do you vend out of any local shops?. Just like Charlene I travel quite a lot, always in the junt. Now if I need to be inspiredcul I just have to look at yours and Dawn's blog. Thanks for the inspiration. PD: the photos are breathtaking. Blessings, Marta.
Lisa it is so adorable ,and beautifull, you are a wonderfull artist.I love the handles together with all the other beauty.
And the photoes are fantastic too. Is that beautifull house in the background yours?
Lisa I hope you are having the power back now, and wishing you a lovely satturday, when you wakes up.
Love and hugs Dorthe
Your nest bag is adorable!
I love the 1 am pictures. Looks so incredibly peaceful.
Great big toothy smiles,
Teresa
Love your nest creation - so beautiful
Love the nest bag! You really do amazing work! I've been checking out all the blogs you have on your sidebar. I visit your blog often, but will add it to my list of blogs that I check daily and then check out the blogs on the sidebar. LOL...this is my filing system and much easier than bookmarking as my bookmarks sometimes disappear.
Keep creating and sharing. Love it!
I love your nest bag...and the photos are really stunning! Thanks for sharing.
xoxo
Happy Valentine's Day!

Your nest bag is beautiful! I also love the pictures your hubby took showing all the snow! I think a bunch of us have or our real close to hitting snow records in our states! I am sooo ready for spring.. It's been real snowy and cold here in Oklahoma too..
Happy Valentine's Day!
Blessings,
~Lynn
What a beautiful project, and beautiful snow photos! I just discovered your blog, and you must live somewhere close.
Which antique mall do you sell in? I'd love to pop in for a treasure hunt.
Lisa the nest bag is wonderful! Fabulous idea. The snow pictures are beautiful too, it always is so pretty when it first comes down. Kim
Love your nest bag! How creative! And your snow pictures are gorgeous!
Teresa
Love your beautiful nest! The pictures of the snow are just gorgeous.
I just found your blog, and I love it. I'm going to join as a follower. Have a wonderful day.

Beautiful white winterland! Your bag is wonderful...I like the first picture how the house just glows surrounded by the snow!
Gorgeous work & post, Lisa!!! I hope you and yours have a very Happy Valentine's Day!
:)

This is a record breaker!!!!! I know the kiddos have loved every minute of it. Have you got power yet? That would get old FAST!
Your project looks great. Love the colors & objects you chose to use. See ya soon. Charlene
I love the nest bag - absolutely beautiful! Enjoy the snow - hope the power is back on. The photos outdoors are magical.

Really great photos, especially liked the one looking at the house..... Enjoyed your project photo of the nest handbag too.....very stunning! Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! It's snowy here in Atlanta as well.
The nest bag is really sweet, and it gave me an idea of what I could make with my daughter. And the pictures are indeed surreal, I love walking around andtaking pictures at that time of the night (after a heavy snow fall)... Very dream like.
Mari
Lisa I am awed by your art! This piece is so beautiful. As was your winter garden in the previous post. I always am left a little speechless when I came here. Such a lovely place to be. And how beautiful is that snow??!!
hugs
Hi Lisa!
That bag is so cool! I can't believe you were able to make it with no lights! The pics are just beautiful. I love the way the snow looks but I don't think I'd like to live in it all the time. Thankfully you don't, so enjoy!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely birthday wishes. I hope you have a wonderful and love filled day tomorrow!

Goodness gracious alive..how beautifully breathtaking! I found your site this evening, and for sure I'll be visiting often.
I'm a visual artist out of Bonaire, Ga., and I adore what you've done with the mannequins. Lovely! Just lovely!

Lisa, I think if I go to the dictionary and look up the word creative, I will for sure find your picture. And the pics of the snow are magical. Stay warm my dear.
Hugs,

Good time to create I am guessing.
Hope your electric does not stay off too long...VERY inconvenient to say the least.
Thanks for dropping by my blog again.

I soo adore that nestbag.its so sweet.Im a bird lover anything with birds I just love.This is something very unique too, thanks so much for sharing!~~Becky
Lisa, you wondered how I get that sepia tone on my tags? I print the images on an off-white kind of heavy weight paper. It's not as heavy as card stock and not as flimsy as photo copy paper. For the edges I use markers - brown ones that are almost dry. And ochre. And sometimes I use chalks. I want to try my oil pastels too and see what happens. Oh...and coffee! I dye the tags in coffee if I'm not going to cover them with printed paper.
I do the same thing with the images on the edges, and printing them on the off-white paper ages them a little automatically.
Hope this helps! If not, ask away again!
Thank you for asking! It's a compliment because I always think my tags are just ordinary.
Hugs!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Diane
Lisa,
PS: I don't coffee dye the images though! I don't know if the paper and the ink would hold up to being soaked in liquid. Might be worth a try though! Hmmm....you've got me thinking! If they curled, I could iron them because I've ironed the tags to flatten them!
Diane
Absolutely beautiful pictures!! First time here and love your blog! Your first garden of the year is beautiful too! :)
I think everyone in the US got a little snow last week. Your pictures are beautiful. I got the little house box a few days ago and I LOVE it so much. Thank you!! I'll try to do a post about it next week. Thanks too for the extra goodies you included. That was so sweet. Have a wonderful V day with you little family and thanks again. Mimi PS I'm in love with those terrariums you made. Adorable.
Ohhh i loooove the nest. Beautiful!!Beautiful pictures. Today it's snowing as well in the netherlands. Not so much as at your side. Have a nice and warm winterday!!
Beautiful bag - I just love that. thanks so much for sharing your creativity during the snow!
What a -gorgeous- project, Lisa! Yummy!
Hugs,
Sheila
How do you create such beautiful things? The snow pictures are so pretty, especially the yellow painted house in the distance.
hugs

your nest bag is gorgeous!!! i just love it!!!
I love the nest bag, what a great creation. Snow, in Forth Worth, TX, who would have predicted that??? They were saying 49 states had snow this past week, a history maker.
Well, up here in Pennsylvania, we are to get more Monday afternoon. We don't need anymore, but who can stop it, but GOD. I just hope it all doesn't melt too quickly.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Beautiful! Simple and natural.
Lovely pics of the snow...and yes, very surreal the way that it looked like twilight all night long.

Hi Lisa,
you make the most gorgeous things! I love your nest bag, such a great creation and I love the glass jars from your post below and the mannquins!
Your blog is just my kind of thing, very inspiring and I'll come back often!
Sending you warmest wishes from freezing old Germany
Carola
Wow, Lisa! It looks like y'all got it worse than we did up here in Frisco (just north of Dallas and Plano, but still part of the metroplex.) The photos your husband took are gorgeous (and yes, surreal--1am!) Your completed project is amazing. It totally says "winter cozies" to me. Way to put your real life into your work! I hope I can meet you sometime and we can craft together!
