In the garden...

Spent alot of time in the garden this weekend....extremely hot and humid and lot's of labor intensive work paid off with a little surprise....
I so wanted this years vegetable garden to be more aesethically pleasing. So....
my darling husband created these paths for me (I helped too but it was really his design!). I was tickled pink with his idea! After spending all day in the dirt we went in for showers, dinner and then came back out after dusk to relax and view the garden...what a treat to see the pavers illuminated by the moonlight!
I loved it!...of course I ran and got my camera...
I had to use a flash to get a decent photo but I'll tell you, with just some candlelight and moonlight this was a stunning view!
In my email this morning ...another surprise!
My interview with Dionne of City of Dionne was published in
Meylah! (thanks Dionne!)
If you're not familiar with Meylah it's a wonderful site devoted to building an online creative community for individuals to learn, share and support each other’s business growth online. I get their emails each morning and they are always full of great tips...very insightful info, if you have an online business ,you need to check it out!
Happy Monday everyone!!

'Tis the season...

of chaos and disorder.



‘One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.’ A.A. Milne


It's just chaos lately (you too?)...but it's leading to some new discoveries...

like...


want to teach teenagers how to hang up wet towels?
send them to the laudromat a few times cuz the dryers broken


weeds growing faster than you can pull?
pull a Dorothy...pour boiling water on them (just don't hit your plants!)


can't get the lugnut off to replace your brake pads in your car?
use mom's handy 'heat' tool that she strips paint with to heat it up!
(ok...give that discovery to your husband)


and then there's the biggie....


tripping over signs in your little studio??


steal the dining room!!!!!


goodbye unused room ...hello new studio!!!
It's gonna take some doin' but I'm quite determined...that's usually when I'm at my most dangerous ..lol:)


more on that as it develops!


Three new signs I'm tripping over....





soon to be all in my etsy shop..
the beach sign is my favorite!

And one more thing before I go...


Happy 24th Birthday to my favorite tennis player who's playing in my favorite tennis tournament in my favorite city in the world!!

Rafael Nadal....sexiest tennis player alive (ummm....next to my husband of course!)

ok... I think I better go now!!
