Plants or Weeds & a Sneak Peek

It has been quite a weekend

productive and I love those kinds of days

not that kicking back and relaxing is not good

but you need to mix things up sometimes!

Friday I left work early

and headed to the garden centre

to look for a couple of new pots

and was pleased to see these happy little faces

smiling back of me

these were a score ~ one of the girls at work was selling them

so I scooped them up

not sure if I am going to use them in the kitchen

or the craft room ~ time will tell

speaking of the craft room

I promised a sneak peek of the work

the walls are all painted and the furniture is placed

I spent yesterday unpacking boxes

going through things to donate and finding homes for others

the sconces are from Home Depot

and I was trying to decide between the two shades above

I went with the one on the left and really like the look of them

now that they are up and installed

there are no windows in this room so I wanted to use bright colours

and looked for fabrics that I was drawn to

the blue above will be made into a curtain for the closet area

while the yellow check is an oil cloth for the table

the print I picked up at JoAnn Fabrics last year on a US shopping trip

and was not sure what I was going to use it for 

I just knew I loved it ~ I am going to make a memory board with it

the clock is just a generic one I have had for awhile

and instead of going out and buying a new one

I thought I would give this one a little facelift with buttons

so with my box of vintage buttons

I am attempting to decide whether I want to go natural/white

or multi coloured button

what do you think ~ please shout out your opinion!

Sunday afternoon I spent with Sam

and as we sat down for supper ~ I found myself sitting across from

a 13 year old version of myself

it scared me ~ I want to take her under my wing

protect her from everything ~ tell her things she should avoid

and things she should do

I guess that is one the fun things in being the Aunt

I am still cool ~ she talks to me and listens to me

and that makes my heart soar

I bought these bracelets for us on Friday

love that they have Blessed on one side and Faith on the other

I will say it once again ~ I am blessed

after I dropped Sam off at band

I came home and started in on the flowerbeds

I spent over an hour playing is it a weed

or is it a plant?

I think I won in the end ~ guess I will find out soon enough

it is so good to see all the plants coming up

the weather is getting warmer

and it is going to be a good week.

Have a good one!
