NOW THAT'S A CROCK

When my neighbor moved she gave me this crock that she had in her sun room with a pot of geraniums in it.  As you can see it has a crack in it so it isn't worth a lot of money but I just couldn't throw it away.
I have moved it around the family room trying to find a suitable spot for it.  I even put silk flowers in it last fall, a poinsettia at Christmas time and some American flags in it for the Fourth of July but here it is now bare again.  Then it hit me, it needed something to set it apart and from just an ordinary beat up old crock.
 
 
As usual my Silhouette cutting machine came to mind.  I turned the crock around to a better side and applied this sweet bee.  I am now happy with it, it can be plain with nothing in it but yet I can still put seasonal things in it too.

(That is my grandmothers Singer sewing machine cabinet that it is sitting next to, I think they were meant to be next to each other.)

I really like that style of bee graphics. I'm assuming you know about the Graphics Fairy blog?.
