I haven’t taken any recent photos my garden, but I love my geraniums. I did this same pot last year and just left the basket on the gate. This year I added euphorbia to the arrangement and I LOVE it! I’m not sure which species of euphorbia–apparently there are many. This white wispy plant adds [...]

Over the past few years, I’ve been on a mission to decorate our bedroom. Initially, I chose red and black with cream and silver for accents. I had a hard time finding red bedding that fit my ideas. WELL! If I had a few hundred bucks for a bed set, I could have found all [...]

I saw this idea in a magazine and thought it was pretty cute! I put wheat grass seeds in some dirt and added lollipops. It’s fun! The cats love it too–actually they’ve pretty much just eaten all the grass now. I’ll have to replant it and find some more lollipops.

I noticed the other day that I must be feeling better. I’ve been spending more time cooking and getting projects on my to do list done. I’m sure a part of the cooking is just that I’m making treats because I can’t have them. That may sound odd but I’m enjoying making treats and meals [...]

I received the opportunity to try an stencil from The Simple Stencil. I had a list of quotes I was considering ordering in one of these stencils. Of course I couldn’t find the list when I received this opportunity! I chose a beautiful version of 1 Corinthians 4:13. I can do all things through Christ [...]

I really enjoy the Autumn. The past few years, I’ve decorated for Autumn right away in September so I can enjoy my pretties for awhile longer. Here’s a few things I set out last week. I erased the flag off this plate and added some leaves. I love this little plate. You can see that [...]

James and I added strawberry picking to our summer “to do” list this year. We waited too long though! My friend alerted me to a great sale on berries at the store and so I stocked up on berries there and came home to make some delicious jam. MMM! Did you make anything with berries [...]

Here are a few photos of my garden projects. I have a few more but I don’t have time to edit them right now! What do you think? When I was at the garden center, they had a cute pot with these flowers. They wanted more than $30, so I just walked around the greenhouse [...]
