seeds and eggs

There is so much information out there on gardening.  Sometimes it's just best if you put the books down, go out and buy yourself a pack of seeds, throw them in the dirt and see if they grow.  Don't make it so hard but I guess that's just our nature.  We started some of our seeds.  I'm not an expert on the subject but I do know that I like saving money on the garden and this is one way to do it.  Plus the beans like to watch them grow.

They each picked out their packs and then we put them in some little cups for a soak overnight.  

Play in-between of course.

Me busy reusing the millions of old bricks from the old patio to line the back bed.  I figure if I lay 10 a day I may be done by July!

 Again my little station isn't fancy.  This is the kids art table.  I put command hooks on top and attach a shop light to hang under the table for my seeds.  We are growing all kinds of things from flowers to veggies.  Whatever takes is a bonus.  

Zinnias are starting to say hi!  

And because Easter is near we have started working on some eggs.  Washi tape and paper strips.  A fun and easy one!  

So there you have it!  Check out this fantastic lady for some organic seed companies....

thrifty spring

We were in need of some spring and Easter decor to brighten things up around the house.  So yesterday, I went on a quick thrifting trip and here is what I found to add some zip to a couple of projects I'm working on.

 A retro style egg holder.  The beans love this!

 A green and white footed bowl for some spring things.

 I like birds and this one was bright and funky.

 A pretty rose colored vase for my spring mantel.

 This little pitcher caught me eye with all of its lovely colors.

And a fancy butterfly egg.

And one non-thrifted pic...my sweet bean
