Welcome to my new blog. As long as I can remember my mother has often called me Mary B. instead of Mary Beth, hence, the inspiration for the name of my blog. My hope is that you, the reader, will enjoy the daily musings of this creative caretaker. Follow me as i share the things that bring me joy and perhaps also the challenges that can be a part of balancing the creative part of me with the reality of caring for my elderly parents.

Hope of Spring

Christmas has come and gone and Spring is beckoning, although you wouldn't know it by the weather we have been having. Nevertheless it is nice to know that there is light at the end of this long, snowy tunnel. I love the promise of spring every year, even when there are no visible signs in nature. The anticipation is glorious and then soon the snow melts and the crocuses and the little green blades of grass poke up through the soil as the sun warms the earth. Overhead the canopy of trees sport their delicate little buds where in due time leaves of all shapes and sizes unfurl, waving in the warm breeze. I just love it!!! The earth is awakening from it's long winter's nap and so am I so it's time to pull out old projects that need to be finished and start on new ones. Following are an assortment of photographs that i hope you will enjoy as this will give you a little glimpse into my life.

I found this lovely beaded garland at Camille's and for now (until I decide what to do with it) it shall find it's home atop my new dress form, a Christmas gift from family.

Here she is...my twin...hope I have time to create something beautiful with her help...

Getting ready for a shabby makeover...

I would like to introduce you to Apple, the canine member of the family, although totally unaware of this fact, she rather fancies herself as the human kind.
