Spring..oh Sprrrriiiinnnggggg - where aarrrrrrrrrrreeeee you?

Wednesday, April 1, 2009



I'm going to have lots of blog about in the next few months! I'm really trying to focus and find some "me time" and have it be crafty. I noticed that I haven't picked up a single project since I was sick in February, due to a month of developing, branding, creating and working and I'm really missing doing some work by hand. First project on hand is Avari's birthday quilt. The fabric is sitting across the border as we speak and I'll have only a few months to get it done. Good thing I work best under pressure...

I'm just itching to get back outside and garden. It's coming along slowwwwly. Last year we ripped up the grass in the backyard and have been living in the middle of a dirt pit. I can't wait to see the garden come alive.

April is also the start of Super Budget 2009. We realized that we really want to be able to go places and explore somewhere other than beautiful Powell River, so we're getting focused on frugalness. The garden comes in to that because I'd love to be able to grow and trade produce. We only have a very modest space to grow so I've been researching about succession and companion planting and let's hope that I have more success than last year!

I can't wait to see more post of spring and summer. It sounds like you're geared up for some fun things. I did a garden last year and learned that manure is the key. If you have a limited space you may want to follow my friends lead. She did a tire garden. She put tires side by side and put good soil in each and then planted them. They were very successful. They keep themselves warm too. Although it's not the pretties thing to look at. Whatever you do I hope it's abundantly successful and you can and such for winter.

When I look at

your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it

has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, wonderful blog!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic

but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting fed up of

Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I

would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
matter to be actually

something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for

me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
