No Grad School=Spring Projects

Well, this blog has become all but obsolete. I've discovered that my life isn't really that interesting, but now and then I have a few things to share. This spring I had a lot of goals/projects in mind: (1)build some window boxes for our patio (cheaper than buying them!) (2)make a flower bed in backyard (3) sew some things with my grandmother's old machine

Here is what was accomplished:

(1) Window boxes (one of them)...


















The boxes mounted with Wave Petunias--my favorite--on the inside of the patio!















(2) Flower-bed--it was HARD WORK to dig up all of the grass! The bricks were salvaged from an abandoned property behind our house.



















Finished product! All of the annual flowers (not bushes) were bought from Lowe's from the 70% discount area...I added a little Miracle Grow, watered them well, and they look great now!
































(3) Sewing (My new favorite hobby!)

A preppy "tie" onesie, bib, burp cloth for a friend


















Summer is here! Now on to summer projects and creativity...
