Now To Decide What to Plant


I came home from school today beat. It hadn't really felt like a weekend and going back to school was not fun. But! I got on some shorts, pulled my hair up, and put on the working gloves. Turns out it's just what I needed.
I cut all the dead flowers off the rose bushes, pulled some weeds, clipped a few haywire branches, started some grass seed growing, *phew*, shoveled/tilled up a whole section of my backyard, and made nice little rows.
It was a lot of work. But so worth it!!
Did I mention I did the whole thing in flipflops?! My grandpa wouldn't be to proud, but what can I say, my feet like to be free. And a little dirt never hurt anyone!

Easter Sunday


Last year I found this skirt and I realllly wanted to make it. I got as far as cutting the material. Well, this year I had a boring day so I decided to whip it up for myself.. and then decided I'd go crazy and make one for Ande too. I would've made Chloe one too but she got impatient with how many times my frazzled brain had to keep measuring her so she decided she didnt want one after all. Besides the fact that Ande's line of flowers go vertical and mine go horizontal, and the fact that it didnt line up perfectly- cutting straight is just so HARD!- they didn't turn out too bad. It was my first sewing project besides pillow cases and an apron :o)
