Spring has Sprung!

Morning sun, fog and spider webs

I was running a couple mn late but still ran back in the house for my camera to capture this image.


Hostas on May 2, 2012, unbelievable!

The walkway will soon be full of hostas. I'm working on my edges this spring.

Future salad!!!

Another container of salad and I have one more, they like the cool weather and are doing well.

Sunday Blogging

 Some pictures for my non-Facebook friends.  Facebook and Pinterest have definitely cut into my blog, sad to say.  I snapped a picture of my Feb tablescape which is now down, getting ready for a natural mossy look which I'm sure the cats will enjoy!

 These bookmarks are awfully fun and easy to make.  I made one for all 52 of my 5th graders and also some of my coworkers.  I slipped a valentine note and piece of chocolate inside.  I am still making some that I will be sending out in the mail this week.  Kinda late, oh well!

More corner bookmarks.
A necklace I made for Lynn.  I need to find more typewriter keys!
I used to love this green wool sweater but then one day I accidentally washed it and it shrunk.  I hung onto it for a someday project and finally decided to make fingerless gloves.  I washed or felted the wool a couple more times, cut the sleeves off, cut a hole for the thumb, added a blanket stitch, felt flower and now they're perfect ipad or texting gloves.  I still have lots of green left, thinking of other possibilities....
Maisy enjoys the sunshine

I sewed some new curtains for the bathroom, here's the before and...

here's the after.  I love this print in wallpaper and this will do for now.

 These matches look much prettier after their facelift.

 I found this sign at Yesterdays, in the Shabby Chic isle-LOVE it.

 The red shelf is not my usual style but I really like it.
This vintage necklace was found at the Bargain Bazaar for just 50 cents!
I think I will get much use out of it.

Merry Christmas!









I think Gracie was in the chocolate!  












Hope yours was merry too.

My Poor Neglected Blog

Here are shots of the Christmas Day sunset.  They are not in order and the colors just kept intensifying so I had to keep running back outside to capture as much as I could.










Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
