    Fishy friends

    We figured out what to do with the giant bowl that formerly held the corks.

    Meet Sheldon, Speedy, Sherman and Goldie.

    We had the rock and coral piece but the kids bought the fish and food themselves.

    Pesky deer

    Not too long ago I snapped a picture of a deer that had just wandered out of our backyard.
    I had commented on how skinny I thought she was.
    Well, she seems to be working on fattening herself up a bit by eating my flowers!!!

    She ate the top and one whole side of my strawberry jar of petunias as well as half the leaves off my hostas. I saw her bed in the grass yesterday just outside the landscape rocks. She could just lay there and munch away on a hosta.

    Book purse


    In my spare time today…yeah right… let’s try that line again.

    In the time I took neglecting other projects around the house, I made this book purse. I recently picked up the book at a library sale in town. I liked that it was square. I believe it’s a French author. 

    I used some white with tiny black polka dot fabric for the lining. There is just something about red, white and black that is such classic beauty to me.
