Fall Craft Day
The Fall Craft day became a day to craft whatever we were all working on. That's kind of the point of the craft day anyways...have time to craft and spend some time with the girls.

Spring planting for a beginner
While I absolutely love looking at beautiful landscapes and gardens, I knew that my brown thumb was an inhibitor for me. Being the persistent person I am, I couldn't face not trying to do a garden or landscape myself, so I began planting. Once I realized I could keep plants alive, I tried to see how long and which ones.
When we bought a home last year, the side garden was a disaster. I tried to upkeep, but those darn weeds kept coming up. I HATE WEEDS!
I finally put my foot down and did something about it over the weekend. This particular area of my home only gets about 2-3 hours of sunlight, so I can't really do those beautiful flowers that need full sun. After visiting the local nursery, here's how I designed my garden and the progression in phases:
BEFORE (see what I mean?):
PHASE 1: Laying out the design for planting
PHASE 2: Planting
PHASE 3: Add mulch and stepping stone and SMILE BIG because it's DONE!
What do you think? I'm really proud of this because this was my first gardening attempt =). Still a few things we need to add, but overall, I'm satisfied.
Next project: Square Foot Garden - already purchased the wood, soil and seeds...here I come!

January Craft Day
Hosted the first Craft Day of the year! For this craft day we went for a Valentine's Day wreath, inspired of course by Pinterest. Some decided to work on other projects, which came out great, while two of us stuck to the theme.
Always a good time to hang out and crafting happens to be a bonus =)
