Summertime Happiness
What a great week! We made some changes to the garden this year, adding five 4’ x 4’ raised beds, instead of the one 15 foot bed that I thought I had successfully negotiated for … Why? … Because, DH found these ‘ready made’ containers – and thought they would be easier/cheaper … Silly man! …

Minimal Adulting here …
I did some coloring this week. That led to organizing my available markers, deciding which colors/color-families I wanted to grow … A wee bit of online shopping … (Umm, Mother’s Day is coming …) More coloring and new stamps to color (I’m not too sure about that clown, but the witch and Frankie are pretty …
Murrini, Funshine & Pups
I used some of our 96 murrini to make a couple of pendants. They’re cute (!) and they proved to me they are fire-safe/stable. So – check for cane listings in our shop and on our FB page! And, it’s that time of year! Yep – Sangria Weather. So – I made up a vat, …
