Peeps
These are my nieces showing off their delightful finished product. I went over yesterday with basically just felt and glitter (obviously other essentials such as glue, scissors, ribbon, etc) and here is the result! Amongst the many blogs I crawl, I found how to make PEEPS bunny buntings. While that one involves sewing and uniform… Continue reading Peeps
Easter Accessories
When I think of Easter, I think about frilly dresses, white patent Mary Jane shoes, white socks with lace trim, and a big, floppy sunhat.

From the octopus agave shooting an insanely tall bloom into the… Continue reading Springyness

Tomatoes, peppers and various herbs will be transplanted in. I started to plant some seeds today but the wind blew those plans away. After the plants are in the… Continue reading Little Baia
Inspirational Seeds
When it comes to planting something new, I am not the most patient of gardeners. I rarely use seeds, choosing to buy transplant-readies instead. However, after planting some sunflower and basil seeds, I am inspired to start from seed more in the future. There is something magicalicious about tossing seeds into freshly turned dirt. There… Continue reading Inspirational Seeds
