Spring time fun

I have never been much of a gardener. I appreciate beautiful plants and flowers but the problem is that they need to be watered. I have to admit that I have a pot of succulents at my front door and everyone thinks they are real but they are perfectly fake (shhhh!) Anyway, now that I am a stay at home mom, I figure I have no excuse. This past week, I helped Autumn (my terrific 2 year old) plant her first garden....tomatoes, peas and green peppers. Autumn makes gardening so much more fun and I love that she looks forward to her little jobs like feeding the fish, checking the mail and now, watering her plants......makes her feel useful.  So, just thought I'd share what I've been doing besides crafting. Here are a few pics of our garden and I will keep you posted on the growth (being hopeful). Looking forward to our veggies!

The critter that had his eye on our veggies....well, I've got my on on him

Bunnies and robins..oh my!

I've been away from my blog for too long but blogging does not always make the list of priorities. Now, several weeks later, I am back and I bring a couple new crafts. I woke up yesterday feeling the need to craft and I was determined to create something this weekend. I have so many ideas but I figured I would stick the the Spring theme. It was suggested to me that I make a felt robin barrette and then I also made a cute little chocolate bunny hair clip as well.....who doesn't love a chocolate bunny?? I wish I had one right now but it is probably better that I don't :) By the way, the bunny tail is extra fluffy because it is needle felted....by me of course. Here they are.....enjoy!
