In case you were curious, I am anxious for Spring. I'm really done with the cold frigid weather. We dealt with it for winter, lets get along with it and have it be Spring, eh? I have been thinking of ways to decorate my house for spring and have been inspired by so many other bloggers out there! I'm a list and goal maker. I've made another goal, that each celebrated holiday, I am going to make a little craft/treat for each person in my family. I've got a couple ideas lined up and in the makings. My craft room has spilled over to my kitchen table and strung through my living room. My husband is sweet and smiles at me when I look like I've blown a craft store up in our house. I've been playing around with my sewing machine. I've had it for more than 5 years and have used it at most 3

times. I figure why not? I know my family will get a chuckle out of the sewn items I give them, straight lines, or not. Here is one of the projects I might tackle once I get a little better!
Check out these adorable plush owls. If you know me, I'm a sucker for owls, they're just so cute!

Check this blogger out Here and find other sweet DIY projects and crafts!

Yesterday's trivia question Answer:

The reason a shamrock is lucky if it has 4 leaves is because each leaf represents something, so if there aren't 4 its not complete...The first leaf represents Faith, The Second Hope, The Third Love and the Fourth Luck.

Today's Trivia:
What symbol is inherently associated with St. Patrick's Day?

Until Next Time,
Peace & Love

Valentines Day

I used our wedding center pieces and embellished them with paper letters.

I used the wine glasses Drayton bought us for our first Valentines. As well as the bear in the back ground.

While making dinner I discovered one of my onions has decided to grow. I'm now experimenting to see how big it will grow. Ha :)

Drayton made me ACH Yellow Tail Tuna, Asparagus, Mushrooms and Onions with Red potatoes sprinkled with parsley. Yummmm!

I made chocolate covered strawberries, but the best treat was. . .

Were the sugar cookies my niece Maycie made for us for Valentines. :)

It was amazing! I love my life.

Have you been thinking green still?

Until Next Time,

Peace & Love

I Heart This.

Happy Valentines Day Folks!

Here is a Sweet Treat. . .

P.S. Are You Thinking Green Yet? ;)

Until Next Time,

St. Valentine Who?

Please don't mind my Mad-Crazy Hair. My projects tested my Mental State. :)

Valentines Day, personally, I really don't care much for it. I'm not sure where my lack of fondness for this heart felt holiday comes from, but I just don't. I don't distain it in anyway, I just don't see the big deal in it all.

Though, I do have some pink crystal out, a teady bear that has devil horns and a heart cape and a pink colored sensy wax melting in my melter. I did get into the spirit of Valentines Day a tinsy bit. I made gifts for those girlies in my life that I just love, since it is the month of hearts, love and foo foo frilly things.

Here is my list of things I {Heart}

-I {Heart} Microsoft Excel.

-I {Heart} Crafts.

-I {Heart} My Morning Coffee.

-I {Heart} Blogging.

-I {Heart} Cooking/Baking.

-I {Heart} Summer Time.

-I {Heart} Lists.

-I {Heart} Carbohydrates.

-I {Heart} Tape.

-Mostly I {Heart} My Family.

As I said in the spirit of the St. Valentine these are the little tid bits I made for those girlies that I love. Something must have gone hay-wire in my brain; because I used my sewing machine. {Insert Shock and Awe Face Here} It was fun though, and I think I'll be practicing a bit more on it.

Heart Magnets. I'd love to claim this original idea, but I got it from a fellow blogger Here

I did some things different like I put epoxy on the front and wrote on a couple.

These are Heart shaped hot pads. Again I' love to take the credit, but Martha, she's just a craft chic.

These hand towels were quite fun. I'm sure someone has thought of sewing ric rac onto hand towels, so I'm not the first.

My all in all total cost into the 3 hand towels, 4 pot holders, 10 hearts, Paper, Ric Rac and BIas tape is: $12. I had some stuff on hand like the epoxy, magnets, glue and such. Pretty nifty eh? That is my contribution to Valentines Day this year.

**For March, well you will just have to see if you are going to be a lucky one and see what I've got planned. (I've made a goal for each Holiday, wink wink.) Keep checking back over the next 16 days. March 1, I've got a surprise for you all.**

Until Next Time,

Peace & Love
