A minute of my day
This was right after he was trying to start a fire with old sunflower stalks from last year...just like Man Vs. Wild he told me - Thanks discovery channel!
I'm so excited - last year I actually grew some food and hopefully this year we will have more food from our garden and less from the store / farmer's market!
I have flipped through and read from The Square Foot Garden and I love every page of it - I'm kinda nerdy like that. I love planning out a garden, digging in the dirt, and luckily I have a husband who is awesome and indulges me with things like raised beds with an awesome mix of peat, vermiculite, and compost, and builds really cool vertical growing towers. - he even has a conduit bender which I have heard is a cool guy tool :)
I get to stare at my awesome garden from my window in my front room where I spend most of my day - LOVE IT!
For now we have put seeds in - beets, chard (lots of it), corn, green beans, radish, carrots, broccoli and I have one more box to plant plus my regular garden area from last year. I can't wait to see little seedlings peek their heads out!
**I had a neighbor bring me a bunch of tomato seedlings that are about 4" tall anyone know if that is tall enough at this time to actually produce some good tomatoes in Oklahoma?
Savoring the view of our grapes growing!
MONTHS ago, Jennifer at Cozy as Spring had a give away for fabric scraps and I WON! I was so excited! When I received the fabric in the mail I was even more excited...it wasn't small scraps, there was some good size pieces of fabric in the bag.
The fabric sat and sat. I didn't want to cut it, I didn't know what I wanted to do with it...then I decided...
Log cabin quilt block for an envelope pillow...two of them live on our couch very happy and I still have a pile of scraps :) Hopefully they won't lay around as long before I decide what to use them on. I'm loving the patchwork pillow on her blog today!
Jennifer thanks so much for the fabric!

Congratulations Emily!
With the younger boys moving upstairs, there has been an adjustment period...we are still in in and it has been over a month. A big sister decided it was time to plot out a plan to keep the 4 year old out of her room...it involved sketches, a mean looking picture of me to put on top of an unfinished doll, pepsi cans, other cans form the recycle bin, string, and a door knob...
*I promise I don't normally look that mean...we had to work hard to get this shot :) I would be scared!
