Fall, Fall, My Most Favorite Time of All!

This past weekend I worked up these cute little pumpkins using the tutorial found here. I added the hemp because I felt like they needed a little bit of vine on them. I love them! Keyki loves them too, when I brought them outside to take photos she snatched one off of the bench and I had to chase her around the yard to get it back!  I also spent all morning this morning cleaning out my tomatoes and pumpkin patch. These are the lovely pumpkins that I found (literally) in all the overgrowth.

Pumpkins make me smile:)

Weekend project

Saturday was such a wonderfully warm day that we spent the whole day outside working in the yard.  I have a spot that I have wanted to turn into a birdhouse garden.  A few years ago I put plastic over the area and killed the lawn/weeds growing there.  The plastic got removed and then the weeds grew back!  It's been that way for a couple of years now, full of weeds and good intentions...  I didn't get a weedy before picture but there were so many that it required a pickup truck and a trip to the dump.  Here is the product of our day's work.

We will put a weed guard down and fill it with decorative rocks to finish it up, but it's a huge improvement from how it looked before.  Plus it helped with my organizing/declutter projects, I was able to get those big posts and the birdhouses and plant hooks out of my garage and shed. Yay!

Next thing I need to work on are lovely little baby boy things. 

Our grandbaby is due to arrive next month!
