Cheerful Little Flower

I’m loving this cheerful little flower, one of hundreds of bulbs I planted a couple years ago. How is it that my bulb success ratio works out to be something like 1 in 50? Hmmm…I think I’d better stop wondering why and focus on being grateful I’m getting something! Hopefully one will become two next year…cross your fingers!

I’m in the middle of a pantry overhaul this week…decided it was time to paint and re-organize. So my kitchen is full of pantry items and it’s killing me slowly every time I look at the mess. That little closet holds a lot of stuff!

Up the ‘Down’ Escalator

Wow, a big welcome to all of you who hopped over from TipJunkie last week…I’m excited to get to know you! I’m still working on some upcoming projects for One Small Child and feel a bit like I’m heading up the ‘down’ escalator, but I did manage to eke out some time to go treasure hunting over the weekend, coming up with some fun things I’ll be sharing soon.

Off topic, I took my older two kiddos (along with their cousins) to the movie this afternoon. Fun yet expensive! Does anyone else feel a little stab of pain handing over so much money for tickets and treats? Yikes! At least I got to snuggle my 4-year-old for a whole two hours…he doesn’t let me do that often, so it was well worth the investment.

The Plant and the Kitty

I’m working on a couple of biggish projects for One Small Child, so haven’t had time to work on any of the sewing projects I’ve been wanting to tackle…guess I’ll just have to talk about other things for a few more days.

Pictured here is evidence of the fierce weather we’ve had this spring. I’m surprised this unfortunate plant isn’t more crippled for all the wind and cold it’s tolerated over the past several weeks. Here’s to hoping our current summer-like weather will continue!

Oh, and the kitty? He’s my favorite cat in the world. My grandpa made him for me out of odds and ends on the farm, and he’s been lounging on my front porch for years. Meow!
