Sure Signs of EARLY Spring

 

Those are buds!?! Yes, daffodil buds close the warm brick and flowers blooming as they come up in the smaller photo on the left...first I've seen this early in the 15+ years I've lived in this state. Southern Spring, here we come!!

Just when you think it's IMPOSSIBLE to see tulip tips in February in Chicagoland....Taken 2/29/2012. I'm speechless.

Have a wonderful, warm weekend.

I've Never Seen the Berry Patch Like This

It's so hard to believe that the strawberry patch is as green as it is. 

This photo was taken 2/29. That's right.February and our strawberry patch is green....the only brown in it this year 

is from the leaves trapped by the plants since fall. 

Best believe the munchkins are counting down until we have 'real crepes' again, filled with freshly picked berries. That's a family fave!

We'll have more garden greenery for you shortly.

Purple Skirts All Around

I whipped up a couple of matching skirts for 

munchkin & me. 

Purple is after all, THE it 

elementary school color...

plus it's 'twirly'.

 It doesn't get much better than that.

Mom can do no wrong 

{today}.

Enjoy your weekend,

Heather

Sometimes Things Don't Go as Planned

I hit a roadblock on the RSVP car embroidery project and have been...well, avoiding it as of late.

Sometimes things just don't seem to go the way you'd like & you just have to start over. snip. snip. snip.

When we were kids & needed a second chance,

we "called a Do Over". No shame in our game.

Do over it is! 

The floss this time around was a lesser quality and rough feeling. I may have to get some assistance with this one. 

Happy Embroidery, 

Heather
