Dancing among the ivy







You see that lovely shade of light green.. it's poison ivy! It's creeping and dancing all around my English ivy which has taken over our backyard. It is a pretty sight this sea of ivy but not too pretty for the skin! Lol! My daughter had a case of it when we first moved in this house and it was not fun. Oh what lovely things Spring brings! We have wood bees too that love to make holes on my porch. They are really hard to get rid of. They do inspire me though. I made a cuff that is perfect for the bee/insect lover..............
Also..ther are lots of caterpillars in my yard which will soon be turning into lovely butterflies which I was inspired to make this cuff for the Butterfly lover too.....

Just thought I would share some of my inspirations today! Remember to stay clear of the light green leaves with 5 leaves on each stem! A tip for the day!

    Hi Tracy!

    Poison ivy is the worst. I had a couple of bad cases of it about six years ago. It takes a while to go away too! Yesterday my daughter got a bad bee sting too. Ah... spring! :)

    Your creations are so pretty! Really beautiful!

    Yuck! My son can just look at poison ivy and get it! And because he's a boy, even at 17, he can't seem to stay out of creeks, so he ends up getting it almost every summer.

    Beautiful cuffs!

    Poison ivy is not fun at all....my childhood home had lots of it...not in our yard but all around the area...so I know what it is like. I adore your braclets today my friend...your work is amazing. xoxo
