Spring means planting, and since we’ve discovered the ease of square foot gardening we love digging in the dirt. So in the course of my birthday/Mother’s Day weekend, we made the transformation from neglected winter mess:
to good soil:
to nicely planted garden:
And then added a little feminine touch:
Garden, sweet garden.
I’m in the middle of a big project.
It’s not new.
I started it years ago.
But now I want to finish it.
I have a lot of tools to play with.
Some of them are practically new.
Even though I’ve had them for several years.
It has to do with this kid.
And his upcoming wedding.
I’m making a mess.
But I’m enjoying the time consuming process.
And I think we’ll all appreciate the finished product.
It will be well worth the time and the clutter involved.
I love these people – and the ones they’ve added to our group.
I love to remember.
Okay – and not really inviting at all. But it worked, and I was quite productive in there. Just think about all those great Halloween costumes that came from this factory.
The first step in the repair required by the failure of the upstairs shower drain and resulting flood. Not just unsightly, but a little unsettling to have a gaping hole in the ceiling. What creatures might be lurking there?
This was as much an adventure as it looks! Don was a great sport about using the highly pressurized can of “popcorn.”
Closet organizers (that we had purchased about 7 years ago) created a great space for all my supplies – and the required stash of fabric. The room was really starting to feel like a creative space.
Emily’s pegboard inspired me to have one of my own.
What a fun place to work!
