Can you believe it!

Spring looks like it may stay for a while!

Cool mornings, warm afternoons and crisp evenings

must mean Spring!







Been working on a garden and have all but one section planted. Wanted to get that in before the rains came this weekend. Fence is up except for about 15 feet and the bunnies have been enjoying the flowers on some of my plants. Or could it be the pups? I have seen them over there sniffing around. Silly things love to eat new leaves and flowers for some reason. They all think they are bunnies I guess.





Here is the layout of my garden:







I planted tomatos; regular sized; in one triangle. In another I have jalapeno' and sweet banana peppers's well as three large bell peppers and two large tomotos. We love tomoatos, especially home grown ones; and these are cherry and grape tomotos. Also have some roma in there somewhere. LOL Then another triangle has five different lettuces and some brocolli seeds planted. Then around the base of the tree is all of my bush beans, lima, pinto and green beans. IF it works out right then I can have fresh salad everyday!! Come on over and enjoy one with me!




I have been stitching a little; not as much as in the past; partly because i spent most of last week working on the garden. I checked this morning and little romaine heads were peeking through!

I am almost finished with the banding that goes to a summery top that I am making. Was going to crochet the whole thing, but while shopping with Bonnie in Forever 21; found that they added a touch of crochet to the top and not the whole thing. So to keep it youthful, that is what I plan on doing. Will use some soft white crinkly fabric for the bodice and the body of the top. Hope to have it in the 'pinning the fabric stage' this week!

Traded Nina back for my dress form with another and I have measure her-Nancy (for Nancy Drew) against my actual measurements and will have to add a poof here and there so that she and I can be in sequence so that our clothes actually fit each other. LOL

Did a couple of cute little test patterns for a couple of designers last month, I think I said that then; but this month I am going to be doing a 'naughty' scarf. Its a scarf with taa-taas and when I am finished I will send gift wrapped to my sister at her office, hahahahaha what a laugh she will have!

Have the sewing bug, Thanks Nina, I cant wait to get to it, and I want to make me some things to wear. so tired of these floppy pants I have been wearing. Started wearing Kurts shorts so my legs can get caught up with my upper body, look like I have been dipped! hehehehe If it wasnt for my kids, I dont think I would get a lot of things done.

Was feeling pretty crummy this past weekend, but better today and so Bonnie and I start on our Spring Cleaning! Let the chaos begin!!

Hopefully we will make it out of this ok, but if not, please give all of my fabric and yarns (with necessary accompaniments) to Nina and she can do what she sees fit with them in her own due time. Dont let Dad for get to cash my two checks in my wallet and let the Mommies know that I will miss thier kiddos despite any experiences that have left them or me to think otherwise. Well I guess if you want to get technical; I WONT miss them, but you know what I mean. LOL

Make sure that Bonnie; if she survives; gets to work on time and buys me one of those floppy things to float around in the backyard in the air in rememberence of me. You know those things that they have blowing in the wind at the cell phone shops. hehehehe It will remind my family how flighty I was.

Finally give my love to all of my family that I havent seen in a while and I will see you all in the paradise.

So Grim. Lets get happy! Housework doesnt kill,

Until tomorrow!
