Bellies to Babies

I'm heading over to Bellies to Babies Studio today. They're having a garage sale and arts and crafts sale, so I thought I'd show off some of my art. Come by and see me (if you are local, that is:). The address is 728 S. Main Street in Lombard.

It's that time again.....




We're heading to South H(e)aven tomorrow...every year it seems to come up faster and faster. I'm looking forward to some beautiful sunsets and to hanging out with my family.

Square Foot Gardening

 This could also be titled, "My Husband has lost his Freaking mind." He does not know how to do anything small. It's always GO BIG or do nothing at all. There are 6 beds measuring 4 feet by 5 feet plus a row of beds along the fence and in between each big bed. They are marked off into 1 foot squares. Each square can hold up to 6 plants depending on what it is.....allegedly. Tomatoes get their own squares, but spinach gets 9 plants for one square. 2 cukes gets 1 square...I don't know how that is possible....they spread all over the place. I really think its going to LOOK LIKE A FREAKING JUNGLE by August. Any way, Chuck swears he has it all under control. We shall see.

Chuck is pretty awesome, so it just may work ;)


The Square Foot Gardening Bible.

Chuck's been toting it everywhere with him. Mel Bartholomew is his new BFF. I wonder if Mel knows this.....

I'll keep you posted on the progress thruout the summer.

Baby Love. Michelle and Isabelle.



This is my friend Michelle and her beautiful (and fourth!) daughter, Isabelle. Michelle posted this pic on Facebook and I immediately thought it would make an awesome abstracty art quilt. I think it turned out pretty good.

Oh, and BTW, its yours, Michelle, if you want it :)
