Memorable gifts with a personal touch with Charlotte at Bluebird Gardens
Giving someone a bouquet of spring flowers out of your garden is a great gift for any occasion. Choosing the right vase makes all the difference in how flowers look, and how long they will last after being picked. I prefer to use flower containers that are rounded at the bottom. The rounded bottom gives cut flowers access to more water, and they won't be quickly traumatized by going dry overnight. So many cut flowers don't last long because they've run out of water!
How do you thank a friend for taking care of cats and plants so well?
I first thought about giving her a vase full of garden flowers. Then I thought she also has cats so why not make something more personal.
I made this little pot of mouse flowers made out of homemade chocolate mice.
I used felt for the flower "petals" and leaves; floral sticks pre-wired to hold the toy mice, and the pointed end of the floral sticks to hold the chocolate mice.
Yes, she loved her bouquet of chocolate mice. Yummm!

Welcome to Made Just For You.
I started Bluebird Gardens in 1998 on the premise that everyone can make
something; they just don’t always think of it as being special.
In my world, it is the thought that counts.
I’ll let you in on a little secret; making something for someone is
sometimes more fun than giving it away.
I’ll be featuring those wonderful homemade handmade things,
and the people who are special enough to get them.
What are you making?
