Retail Therapy and a Welcome Back
Thank you for all the kind words regarding my shocking news of dh's lay off. This may all end up being for the best in the long run. Who knows? We may still sell our house for a good price, make our move as planned, and he could find a job closer to our new…

If I Were Any Lazier…
Obviously, I need more structure in my day. Today it was rainy, again. I couldn't go outside and finish planting my impatiens and petunias. I didn't feel like making 12 Sawtooth Star blocks. So what did I do? I went from my bed to my chaise lounge and curled up with a book all day. …

Cutest S—s Ever!
How adorable are these s—s? I can't type out the word because whenever I do, I get annoying spam emails from China, trying to sell me athletic s—s.

Composting for the urban farmer
I would have prefered diamonds, but this is pretty good too… The Wine Maker finished putting my composter together, and it really doesn't make for exciting photography. However, it does make great dirt in 4 to 6 weeks. What's the point you ask? Well, compost creates a food source for a selection of life that…

When the cat’s away…!
Oh hello… Long time no see! Guest Blogger Sara here! The above shot is of mom's completed cushion redesign for the patio set she gifted me. A gorgeous toile complete with red stripe and button.

Reinventing the Patio Set
Flash back to May 2008. I had just recovered my patio set with this snazzy red and cream fabric. Doesn't it look fresh and new? Well, after leaving it out in the elements for the better part of two years, the cushions now look like this: Soiled, faded, and tired. This wrought iron set…
