Happy Birthday, Melanie Jane

Melanie turned 22 yesterday and this is my gift to her. Of course, it's not finished yet. She is going to Grad school in New York City in the fall so I wanted her to have something special on her small apartment walls.

Work in progress.

And this is what it turned out to be!!!

This moment- a Friday ritual, a single photo-no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Soulemama

Mother's Day Gift

This is next on my design wall....my mother's day gift from my daughter. A market bag made out of the green and vegetable fabric, that's my next project! Thanks, Melanie!

Geriatric Gardening

It has become difficult for me to garden with my back and stupid nerve stuff but I am just doing it slowly. Emily and her husband were coming thru town and they put the landscape tie in for me. Today, I put the newspapers and leaf mulch down. See, I love to garden but am still the queen of cheap! I went to the Farmers Market this morning bought some plants for the new bed including 2 nice sized blueberry bushes for the backyard. They already have flowers....maybe we will get a few this year!

I had to stop after getting the front done and will try to do the blueberry bushes later or tomorrow.

May Monochromatic is Red!!!

I am trying a table runner out of reds. Not too sure if I like it yet or not! We'll see how it ends up!
