Traveling Tea Tuesday

Due to my crazy busy schedule lately and all the rain we had last week, I never got further than my front yard with the traveling tea cup.

I had plans for our adventures…little chip and all.

I had hoped to get to the Arboretum and the docks where the lake cruisers are moored but alas it was not to be.

Since we finally had sun for a couple of days I got the deck staining finished!
See the nice brown railing in the below picture….
What a job! 2.5 gallons of stain…ugh my aching back!

I did get a couple of little things done to include in our traveling tea cup package.

A crochet dishcloth for handwashing those delicate tea sets and a magnet with a reminder….

Stop by Kimmies today and see what’s happening with Tea Tuesday.

Inspired by Jill

As I was starting to clean up my art zone…again…it never gets completed… but I digress….

I was totally inspired by the greeting card that came with my prize from Jill Ruth.

Wordless Wednesday

Iced Tea Tuesday

It’s quite humid today and while the sun was out I’d even say it was hot. Now keep in mind that just 9 days ago it snowed a little. Not snow that stuck but snow none the less. Gotta love Minnesota.

So today I’m doing a bit of planting today…

Just 2 hanging baskets and a small pot of flowers so far. All from seeds I saved and started in the house.

I’ll be buying some plants but still have a few things in the house in need of planting.

Stop by Kimmies for the links to the other Tea Tuesday bloggers

On a side note to those participating in the Tea Cup round robin. I got my package on Friday but hadn’t had a chance to do more than take a tiny peek inside until this morning.

“Houston we have a problem….” Apparently, the package wasn’t handled very carefully in transit.

I have emailed Judy privately to ask how we should proceed and am awaiting a reply but thought I’d mention it anyway.

Quick cards

I’ve been making a few more cards lately but keep forgetting to photograph them before sending.
At least I remembered with these..although the pictures are a tiny bit blurry.
