Great Week-end!








What a beautiful week-end this was! The weather could not have been better. Just a taste of May in March. I made some cupcakes this weekend for my son and his friends. They were so good and pretty I almost didn't want to eat them!



I worked out in my yard some Saturday and planted some pansies. They are one of my most favorite flowers because they have such beautiful colors. I love the purple the most. (Even though it looks kind of blue in this pic).



I also spread some new mulch around my pond. The spring residents of the pond have moved in and are making quite a noise with their annual mating calls. I counted 15 frogs in my small pond Saturday night. I sat out on my porch for a good hours sipping my coffee and listening to the sounds of the frogs. I am always so thrilled to hear them in the spring, it can lull me to sleep in a minute.


I also made a couple of "Wee Bunnies" from the pattern at the "Wee Wonderfuls" website. I am putting them in my grandmothers and sister's Easter Baskets. I made each of them a necklace with some broken beads that my grandmother gave me. I hope to get a picture of them tonight and I will post them tomorrow.

Spring Fever





I am so glad that February is over. I shouldn't be wishing my life away, but I really do not like winter.


Day before yesterday I noticed a sign at the seed store that said they had onions and peas. I was elated! Yay! That means planting season! So yesterday I stopped in and got some red onions. I wanted Georgia Sweet too, but they won't be in until next week. I went home after work and pulled out my old faithful Honda mini tiller, put in some gas and oil and fired her up! She is so reliable, always starts for me, but my husband has a hard time getting her started. LOL I tilled just enough room to plant about 30 red onions. It felt so good to get my hands dirty again. The smell of freshly turned earth is on my top ten list of favorite smells.

The top picture is the purse and stuffed dog that I made for my sister for her birthday. I felt a little silly about giving her the dog, she was 41 years old after all, but she says it was her favorite gift and it rides around with her in her car. Now my niece wants the exact same thing for her birthday and I am glad because both were fun to make!
Thanks for the nice comments on my blog! I am just a beginner, so bear with me while I figure blogland out!
