Our sunflowers have finally popped up to say hello. We planted them in a different location this time. They are facing our French Doors that lead outside to our back yard. Every morning when I open up the windows I now have a view of rows and rows of Sunflowers everywhere. It’s really nice waking…

A felt grocery store from the 1980’s.
Right now everywhere around us, the chatter is about a little parasite called Cyclospora. I hope I’m getting that spelling correct, it’s a tongue twister for sure. Don’t you dare ask me to attempt saying it, it’s hard enough writing it. It’s a nasty little bug that causes what the whole media is calling explosive…
Cookie cutter needle felting.
If you are new to needle felting and you’re not sure what to start off with, cookie cutters are a fun way to get a project going. Cookie cutters can be used as templates to form your shapes. You can keep them flat or you can add more wool as you sculpt around the form…
Grocery shopping for the bees.
June is all about our pollinating friends, so I thought it would be fun to share some photos of all the beautiful flowers I saw at one of my favorite local garden shops. I did a post like this last year as well. I always take photos when visiting gardens because I get some of…
Taking a walk with the bees.
It’s been so beautiful out there lately, the perfect weather. I walked down to the used bookstore today, checking in to see what new books they got in. On the way to the store I stopped to check out all the wildflowers everywhere. The walk there is lined with all kinds of flowers and plants….
Painting flowers with flowers.
This is an easy project that all ages can enjoy. All you need are a variety of flowers and leaves to experiment with for water coloring. You will also need something to crush and grind the flowers with. Rocks and a hard surface are okay to use to crush your flower petals. After you crush…
In the garden…harvesting wild plants.
There is a lot going on with our gardens right now, we are having fun in these early stages of getting it all put together. Meanwhile there are natural plants popping up everywhere on our property that I have been trying to keep up with in harvesting and drying. Some plants I am using the…
Diy a little kindness.
I believe these are coming back. It’s just something easy and fun to do with your little ones and the fun part is going outside for a walk on the trails and leaving your little treasures for someone else to enjoy. It’s summer after all and everyone is out enjoying the outdoors. Thought I share…
A whole bunch of sea shells.
On this Memorial Day I thought I pull out something from the past that is a treasure from my father-in law who served in the military years ago. What I’m about to share is a rare one. We have a huge collection of shells that were passed down to us from my brother in law/father-in-law….
In the garden…garden tables and infusion oils.
It’s that time of year again, gardening time. I’m so looking forward to this. Everyone around here is telling us to hold on a minute there because April sometimes gets a freeze before that old Winter decides to pack up and leave. They tell us to plant after April 15th. I didn’t wait completely though….
