Vintage Spoon Garden Marker

This spring I'm going to have rows of vegetables and fruits. I'd love to have squash, tomatoes, zuchini, strawberry, watermelon, sweet potatoes, and others that I just can't think of at the moment. I'm also going to have an herb garden in the kitchen window. Wouldn't these garden markers by jessicaNdesigns be just lovely to go in the window box. I had considered them for the actual garden, but it's going to be a pretty big plot and they may just get lost. But they would definitely stand out in the kitchen. Plus, a set of three is just $18 which is pretty good price for supporting a fellow artist and crafter.

I also think these would make for lovely gifts. Great for Mother's Day, bridesmaid's gifts, and your garden loving friend.

Ok, so a girl I went to college with posted this on Facebook, from YouTube, and it totally cracks me up. I don't know if it's cause I went to Zumba last night for the first time and this turtle has better moves than me, or if its just because watching something shake its backside is naturally funny to me. Enjoy!

Brown Paper Packages

Isn't this a lovely way to wrap a gift? The yellow and white accent is vintage shelving liner. The white band is canvas fabric. Add some jute twine and a diy flower and you've got the best wrapped gift around. This project is from a blog I discovered today. The Thrifty Crafter.

Our Monster of a House

I don't say that because of it's size but more of the giant, unruly, misfit of an undertaking it truly has been. Here is a video from when we first kind of started the house. It was still in the demolition phase.

Fruit Bowl

I think my counter needs this amazing bowl. I've been thinking about what bowl I want to use as my fruit bowl. It's been a year and a half and I still hadn't found one I liked. But then I was looking at some unfinished wood sitting on my granite counter and it hit me. I need a wood bowl. Real, raw, unfinished wood. This bowl from Target is perfect.

Creative and Rustic

I'm really loving this adorable creative bedroom. The bed is so sweet. I think Matty will be building all of our beds. ah, the beauty of having a carpenter husband.

This New Years day I'm working on the house (shocker). I've been feeling really greatful for Matt having a day job. I've been able to spend more time with him this past week than probably in the last 4 months. Night shift was absolutely horrible, but it is over now! He's still sleeping, but when he's up we're going to work on getting the kitchen put together. Pictures to come
