An Idea for a New Craft Project

I recently had an idea for a wreath to hang on the door of my office/studio.

I decided to use tea pots and teacups as my theme, so I started hunting for

tea cups and then it dawned on me that a child size tea set would be ideal.

I went onto eBay and found this adorable set.  It arrived in the mail today.

This gardening wreath is what really got me dreaming about theme 

wreaths.  You may recall this one I shared on the blog a few weeks ago.

I spend so much time in my office, especially since I have been hard at

work doing research for my book ~ which by the way is a mystery ~ and

I am completely caught up in the personality of my protagonist and the

murder she attempts to solve.  Everything I have in this space is meant

to encourage my creative pursuits and it's truly my hideaway and I only

share it with Bentley.  I always have music playing in the background, and

I often have a cup of tea by my iMac, and Bentley is usually curled up

in his favorite chair by the window.   It's a shabby chic, cottage style 

type of Zen.  

It's a good spot for reading too and I keep a stack of some of my very 

favorite mysteries in the bookcase.  

For many years, I wondered and searched the answers to my longing to find

the true meaning of my life.  Now I know, and my my mind and my heart is

just over flowing with ideas.  I believe that this little room in my house has

been a conduit for all this creative activity and I treasure every moment I

spend here.

I hope to gather all the supplies I need to create this special wreath over

the weekend.  I plan to share it with you next week.  It will be a signal that

once you pass through the doorway and it's teacup wreath, you will be

entering my special creative Zen Zone where hopes and dreams come

to life.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
