exciting beginnings

Here are some beginnings of our garden.  We cheated this year by buying a large tomato plant from the nursery.  It was worth it because I got what I wanted.  I have tomatoes in June!  Almost everything else was planted from seed.  We had never tried planting peas before and I am so happy with the results.  Also, I found out that you can throw the pea greens in salad and eat them, who knew?

Sugar and spice

This banner was fun to make.  I sure do enjoy using an exacto knife.

Messy rooms

Yesterday, I got my house in better order and I have decided it really holds me back when the house is messy.  Here is something I found online today.  Adorable.

Too Long

It's been too long since posting.  Though I have been working on some things so there is much to tell.  First lets begin with the Roses.  They certainly are doing well after a good trimming in the beginning of spring.  I took the pic of the yellow rose, it was the first rose of the season.  My brilliant husband took the two others.  They're worth sharing because they're gorgeous!

Girly Pinewood Derby

Here is a pinewood derby car I thought you'd enjoy seeing.  I thought my Daughter did a great job with it.  Rub-ons make life easy.  Also, I am inspired lately by this and am thinking of recreating one of my own.

summer treat

This was one of the last pictures taken with the old camera.  We found a kid's treat idea website that showed us how to make these simple, fun watermelons.  They are made from; sliced up limes with the centers cut out, red jello (preferably watermelon flavor), and chocolate chips for the seeds.  The kids thought it was so fun creating these mini watermelons!

inspiration

There has been a lot of inspiration going on around here lately.  Thank goodness.  I was wondering what was up with myself before the inspiration came.  Part of it was that my camera was broken.  Now we have a new one.  I bought my husband a camera for his birthday and then he went back to the store for the one he really wanted.
