PISTASCHIOS & STUCCO

ITALIAN VILLA BIRDHOUSE.

To be perfectly honest I don't know if this would hold up outside unless it was in a protected area. It might be best to use it as a decorative item!!

    This shows the peaks in the stucco a little clearer.

    Stucco added but instead of smoothing it out I lifted the putty knife to form peaks in the stucco.

    She may have been some time back TODAY. When you're on through out the day it seems like "some time back".

    Just want you to know we do keep you in our thought & prayers. I know how time consuming and exhausting it is to be a caretaker.

    Ladena, so happy to hear your Mom is feeling better this week. Being a caregiver is a very difficult task so I'm told. And Being the one in our family who is always, always, there for everyone else I think I have an idea of how hard it can be. I'm linking to Don't Loose Heart dot Org by Jean Fogelberg. It's a site she started and named after one of her late husbands songs to help other caregivers for support. In looking it up I also came across her personal website that you might enjoy ...»
    too. I especially like the description she added to this piece..... http://jeanfogelberg.com/dancetherapy.html

    Don't loose heart.... http://dontloseheart.org/contact-us/about-us...

    Jean Fogelberg.com http://jeanfogelberg.com/

    I'll keep praying.

    Susan I love this bird house just as it is. Sweet tweet! But I can " see" lots of them done in so many ways,.however Iam too lazy, I live vicariously through you gals! I look but do not do!

    And where are the bunnies ? what heading?

    Bernice, weren't you the one who did all the beading??? Pistaschio's are a whole lot easier to pick up than itty bitty beads!!

    I have two other posts - one is bunnies and the other is turtles. I thought they would be back to back but by the time I got everything loaded they were miles apart! LOL

    Ladena, so glad you're getting a break, don't forget to pamper yourself a bit while you're off the clock! Being a caregiver is stressful and so don't forget your vitamins too...Still have you and mom on my prayer list!
