Broccoli.

Broccoli is up, along with spinach and Dianthus.

I have been crocheting like crazy and I am really enjoying myself.

Scrap yarn is finding it’s place into a granny square. Maybe I can pull one of my sister-in-laws to take some pictures so I can put them up here!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Although, I am still displeased with the way my blog LOOKS I am still going to update it.

I updated my gardening page.

I drove to the farm today with seed packets. I left with pots and containers filled with dirt and hopefully successful plants with a good yield. The seeds I did were Brandywine Tomatoes, Cherry tomatoes, spinach, ever-bearing strawberries, oregano, broccoli, shasta daisies and dianthus. Mom Cook and Naomi advised me to be careful of my oregano plant because it will take over. I plan on having my herbs in hanging baskets. So if my oregano wants to have room to stretch it can do so. Doesn’t that sound pretty? My oregano draping over  the sides of it’s pot.

I mended my leggings (I wear them in the winter) the other day. The holes were getting bigger and they could not be ignored any longer. They are a spandex and cotton blend so we will see how they hold up. If not I will just throw them away, and look for a bloomers pattern (never in my life have I ever thought I’d want to be wearing bloomers). After getting help and pointers from Libby on a skirt that I did a few weeks ago, I am really excited about sewing. I went to Wal-Mart to see what they had on their clearance and I ended up getting 9 yards of material for $15.90. I think that those are going to end up being skirts.

 

Monday, Betsy and I are going up to Clare to do some shopping.  I have a little list going. Clare has Amish stores, I went with some of the Cooks and Nelsons (Wendy’s side of the family) at Christmas. I really enjoyed it. Some stores that we are probably going to stop at are the hardware store, the bulk food store, and the ding and dent store. We’ll see what other mischief we can get into. Have a blessed and restful Sunday everyone.

Changes.

To be honest, I really don’t like my latest layout. I think I should have stuck with my old original. Oh well. I also have been brainstorming different things to do with this. I really like how I can have all of the pages (blasted ‘g’ key! Doesn’t work!) on here. I thought of adding more to my projects page, recipe page. This may turn into an overhaul (possible name change too!)  I don’t want things to be too cluttered though so I will work on them one at a time.
