  • L - Laughing Lilac Llama Love .. O - Oodles of Oxypetal Owl open-heartedness V - Very, Valentine-y, Violet, Vole, vivacity E - Effervescence Eucalyptus Elephant Ease . . From my desk & my (snow filled) garden, I wish you and your kids a Happy Valentine’s Day. . “I thank these “L-O-V-E” flower animals, from my new book ✨, ABC FLOWER 🌸SAFARI —- with flower animals A-Z. . for joining me today. . #abcflowersafari . . (For more info, find more on my blog and in its shop: link above) . #willowdayflowersafari #willowdayflowerproject . . Subscriber note: . If you are a subscriber, I hope you received a special little Valentine gift yesterday right to your inbox. (It’s a gift that will last until Sunday) .

  • If I were a leaf-reading, fortune teller, I would say that the petals left on my table “indicate a little love on the horizon.” . Beautiful Valentine, Galentine & Pal-entire preparation wishes. . .. #willowdayflowerproject
  • Play? . . #allwork ... . . I know you come to visit for creativity & travel ... and maybe less, my dogs; but, he’s the worlds kindest and most patient dog and shows up looking at me like this at moments in the day as I’m hard at work . . —- and —- I thought of a reason to post him. . . IDEA for you: PET GALLERY . If you swipe right, see a smidgeon of our Pet Gallery. This is one of the favorite on-going projects we’ve done as a family. If you don’t have a pet, use a stuffed animal as a prompt. .. I could always lure (& still can) the kids in to paint or draw, etc, when I used our pets as prompts. The gallery brings infinite pleasure. . . I couldn’t choose a favorite but... If you swoosh right, “Standing Coco” fills me with “You go, girl!” Every time! I love how uninhibited little kids are when they see the world around them. ( Coco was our bunny and first pet) .. . . . .#willowdaydoodledogs #willowdaydoodles . . Happy Wednesday
  • Love in the air | PART 2: Snowman Love. What’s the most unusual snowman you’ve ever built? . . . We have really put tutus on ours. One year my daughter had a “Ballerina Snowman Birthday Party” w/ hand-sewn- mini- tutus for the snowman-shaped meringue cupcake toppers | Loved every detail from tutus, to illos for the invites, gifts | ballerina snowman balloons & prepped snowman party kits + more .(Tutu, black tie or country -casual- scarfs, optional) . . Today’s illo is a part of a new winter birthday card series I made with chrysanthemums , dried glads, hydrangea, and grass for this piece (slide right for more details) . . Warm or snow. Snow or Rain: Hope you, too, feel the love in the air —- (or cake) . #willowdayflowerproject

Do you know watercolor artist: @artistkatiehillman ? A scene like this introduced us. Katie’s a water color artist who sometimes paints scenes she’s inspired by on @instagram . To my lovely surprise , she painted a scene from one of my my morning walks. I love these little serendipities. Thank you for finding me, Katie. I think if you as I send this morning walk off today. . 2. Tag your #midwinter photos with the #sgiew_midwinter hashtag for the new @sogoodineveryway challenge. Ali @incredibusy and I enjoy seeing the beauty grow and Suzanne @nestandburrowuk have the hard task to choose favorites at the end.
