Saturdays are always strange because usually one of us is gone for most of the day. Today though that was not the case so we were able to complete a few projects that have been on the list for awhile. While these aren't traditional crafty things, it's something of an art form so I'm including them.
We bought some plants earlier in the week but hadn't had a chance to plant them. Today I did just that. Although I have farming roots in my family I was just not blessed with the green thumb. Half of what I plant dies. But I was re-insipid to try again after a wellness class at work talking about planting a nutritious garden. So I'm starting small with a container garden on the deck and two Topsy-Turveys hanging from my deck. We'll see how it goes this summer.
The other thing that I've been putting off for years is making weave poles for the boys. James and Henry are both learning weave poles with the 2x2 method, so it was imperative that we make/buy some. While I was planting, Kyle was engineering and made these.
Tonight I will resume my normal crafty endeavors. My machine is at the shop getting multiple repairs and a service, so I'm left with hand-quilting or scrapbooking to do. I've not been in a scrapbooking mode lately and I'm going to be ok with that. My normal scrapbooking buddies have moved away or gotten busy with life.
