The odds of this are crazy!! (One 4 leaf is actually missing from the picture) we found them all in one little search in the yard. My mind is blown!

Also, excuse my stained hands...it's Tumeric from a craft I did earlier. πŸ˜…

Mornings are more magical with coffee in your favorite mug and a mini flower hunt in the yard. 😍

Excited to see how these little finds will look coming out of my mini flower press.πŸ’šπŸŒΌ

Love watching the little pollinators enjoy the new things that are always popping up in our yard.🐝🌼

Dandelions, Sheep Sorrel, Wood Violets, Thyme-leaf Speedwell and the Daisies are on the way.

What are your favorite little flowers or "weeds" that grow in your yard?

Testing out a new method for finishing our mini flower presses!

We usually rub the finish on each individual piece by hand but our hands needed a little relief and it's kind of satisfying to see all of the pieces get coated in finish at once.πŸ˜…

Over time, we have definitely gained an appreciation for wooden goods...especially handmade wooden goods!πŸ˜‰

We wanted to share a quick and easy way that we preserve our wooden treasures at home and keep them looking fresh!

What you will need:

Beeswax
Food grade mineral oil
A cloth or paper towel
microwave safe glass container
Something to stir with
A container to store your finished butter

We use a large wax melting crock..but you can use a crockpot, microwave safe glass, or whatever method you would like to melt your beeswax. (Depends on what you have and how much you plan to make!)

Thoroughly mix the food grade mineral oil into the bees wax, pour into a heat resistant container and let cool/solidify.

Once the mixture becomes solid, take your freshly washed and dried cutting board and apply with your hand or a cloth. Let sit for 10-20 minutes and wipe off! Voila! Protected and fresh looking wooden treasures that will last for years to come! ✨

It was supposed to rain today...but, instead we have sunshine, blue skies annnnnnd the Apple tree is in blossom...I'll take it! 🌞

Of course, I picked just a few to press...but wanted to leave most of then for the bees to enjoy.🐝🌸

Hope everyone has a beautiful Friday!

I am so excited to be trying out some more pressed flower projects this Summer! 🌸✨

How about you? What's your favorite thing to create with pressed flowers?

One of my favorite things about pressing flowers...?

The experimenting! Of course, there are many talented and experienced floral preservationists and artists out there who provide amazing tips and tricks for perfectly pressed blooms...

But, you don't have to be a professional to begin pressing flowers...you can begin experimenting and see what works for you! 😊 Pressed flowers are great to use in card making, journaling and other art/crafts!

This was my first attempt at pressing some Maple tree flowers I collected on a walk and I think they turned out so cute. πŸ’š I'm really looking forward to adding them to my little nature journal I am creating!

Have you ever tried pressing flowers? What projects of yours would pressed flowers compliment?

Happy Mother's Day πŸ’š

This month it will be 5 years ago that we decided to take a leap and go full-time with our creative business.

The hope was that we would be able to create a life that allowed us to balance work, creativity, and the ability to be present and nurturing parents for the little ones that we were expecting and I am so grateful it has worked out so far.

Today, we enjoyed the beautiful tulips and baby animals and just being together as a family.
