Organic Gardening

I wanted to share a few picture's of my organic garden. I love growing plants and vegetables, watching them grow and being able to eat what you've grown is alot of fun. I also compost using kitchen scraps, cow and horse manure, magazines, paper, and anything else that is biodegradable or compostable.

Lucky girl

Just wanted to peep in and let everyone know that I am one lucky girl:). It's very rare to come across fabric (linen, muslin, cotton....my favorite) and embroidery floss all at the same time. I went to an estate sale this morning and can't wait to wash all of my new found goodies and dive in. Everything I found is just perfect for all the spring sewing I'll be doing...can't wait. I will definitely keep y'all posted on all the things I'll be making.

Readying for Spring

  My apologies for not posting in three weeks. I have been very busy over the holidays, with relatives visiting and meals to prepare and the house to clean and gifts to make, well you get the idea, I've been BUSY. I'm also trying to recover from allergies or a cold, whatever it is, I've had it for too long. I am so ecstatic about the coming of Spring that I'd like to share a few things I've been making over the past couple of weeks....readying for Spring craft shows.
Brooches I made over the holidays
