Something light, bright and Spring-like was what was called for last night.
Must have been the sunshine that had me feeling the love.
Since Google Reader is being phased out by July 2013, I’ve been searching for a new RSS Reader to follow blogs and news on the web.
I keep seeing info about Bloglovin’ so I figured I’d give it a shot.
The direction and colors I started with for this page got totally covered up. So strange how things work out.
The background is a page I put together to make a custom Photoshop brush several years ago. It never made the cut so I stuck in a drawer and it promptly disappeared. It surfaced yesterday and was the perfect second beginning of my journal page.
Most of the seeds I started have come up.
They have also survived Gracie. I put some tin foil up around the sides as some suggested that cats hate tin foil. Seems to have worked so far.
I have 3 varieties of tomatoes, basil, thyme and parsley. My green onions have yet to sprout so I’m thinking that I’ll have to try again with some other seed.
I just love to look at the tiny little plants though, knowing the yummy goodness to come.
Now if only Mother Nature would cooperate….
My gardens are a little full of snow right now from the latest storm.
We had thunder and lightning with the snowfall this morning. Crazy Spring!! With more on the way.
Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for the snow. It provided much need moisture for the ground…I just wasn’t excited about the timing.
I had the honor and pleasure of being interviewed about recycling and the role it plays in my life by my friend Elizabeth as a part of her month long tribute to Earth Day.
Please stop by her blog for the interview and while you are there, check out her projects!!
After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.
It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.
When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 
I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.
Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!
I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.
Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.
I am incredibly happy with 
the way this one turned out.
And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.
just in time for the weather to warm up.
Of course.
I’ve knit well over 50 of the ruffle scarves but this is my first standard knitting project that I have completed!!
I stitched the ends together to make an infinity scarf. It wraps really well around my neck for that super warm and cozy feeling that we need for our Minnesota winters.
I started a new scarf yesterday but am thinking I’m going to rip it apart and start again. I’m not liking the 2 yarn combo I’m using.
