Potato Towers


Ok Im back, Vacation time went well, we went to San Diego for a few days. Of course when we got back though I had to get sick. I was so sick I couldn't look at the computer
much less get on here to type. I am feeling just a tad bit better. I should still be in bed, but i am so excited about this next project!


I saw this on Pinteres:



It is a way to plant, vertically, taking up just about no space at all. I am thrilled! We used to have a teeny tiny yard, then people were complaining that our yard was bigger than there's was, so the association reduced our yard by half...so we pretty much have backdoor then fence! I have enough room for a grill and a few tomato plants. This will be perfect for my small yard. I plan on planting fingerling potatoes and small reds. Hope this works, I don't really have a green thumb!

Sewing disaster!

Today was a day for the record books. I procrastinated sewing jumpers for Sophia for our trip to San Diego until today...um we leave on Thursday and I had 4 to make :~\

So I cut all my pieces and start my project. Half way through dress #1 my machine starts acting funny. So I take it apart and clean it. I got a little more along and my thread starts ripping. I'm thinking I need another foot. Ugh I cannot do it by hand, so im done. Poor little Sophie gets no new dresses and now I have to find more clothes for her to wear!

So now, after stuffing my face with tacos, I'm laying on couch watching Swamp People with my favorite guy, feeling very unproductive.

New blog!


Now that I have an iPad, I can blog from just about anywhere! Yay. Ok so this blog is dedicated to the things I enjoy. Some of those things being couponing, sewing cloth diapers, making cheese, baking and child rearing. Ohhh and let's not forget gardening!

Well let's start this journey!
