How To Plant a Birdcage

Today I am here with a really fun project for spring.  I am going to show you how to plant a birdcage!  I love to plant pots and planters and I look for fun unique planters all year long.  This birdcage is just from Michael’s so it was an easy find, but you can use old buckets, watering cans, old coal buckets, or just about anything that will hold dirt!  You just have be sure there are holes in the bottom for the drainage.  So rusted out buckets are great! :)

All of the plants that I used in this planter are perennials, so they are really okay for me to put this outside, here in Utah!  If you are using annuals, you will want to keep your planter indoors until the weather is warm all of the time, unless of course, you already live where it is warm!

Thursday’s Thought-Spring has Sprung!

I was over at one of my best friends’ house the other day and she had these flowers that were in full bloom!  They looked so gorgeous out in her yard… this one plant in full color out in her yard.  So I went back a couple of days later and took this picture.

Doesn’t this just make you happy?!

I loved these flowers so much that I went and bought one for my yard.  The color that I got, the flowers start out more of a greenish color then the blossoms turn to white.  I am going to get a couple of more and I am hoping to find this beautiful yellow and pink one!

They are called Hellabores and they are a perennial, they bloom in the spring and they like the shade. 

It snowed here a couple of days ago and I was out planting my plant the next day in the nice warm sunshine! 

So I guess that Spring really has Sprung!

Thanks for Visiting!  Love Ya!

Fabric Monogram Wreath

I shared this project a couple of weeks ago over at “I Should Be Mopping the Floor”, but wanted to share it with all of my readers in case you missed it over there.

I have a super fun little project today.  It is this darling fabric monogram wreath just in time for your Halloween crafting and decorating!  This is sooo easy to make, but it looks like it took a great deal of time and effort!

Garden Bouquet

I hope that you all had a great 4th of July!  

I can’t believe that it is already over, it seems like the summer is just going by waaay too fast!  I think that I need to slow down just a bit and enjoy a few lazy days of summer, what about you, could you enjoy a few lazy days too?  Here is one thing that you could do to enjoy your summer just a little bit more:

Do you have flowers out in your yard that are looking beautiful this time of the year?  Well why not bring a few indoors and enjoy them in your home?  That is what I decided to do!

Potting Table Makeover

DSC_0046

I have a potting table down on my back patio and I love it!  But we had a big maple tree that died and we had to cut it out and the potting table was right in front of this tree, so we had to move it out of the way to cut the tree down.  This is what my poor table looked like when I pulled it out of the way:

Thursday’s Thought-Though No One Can Go Back…

I went out and took some pictures of my neighbor’s pansies yesterday morning after coming home from my morning walk.  They were just so pretty and caught my eye, that I decided to use one of the pictures for today’s thought!

I hope that you can enjoy them as much as I do!

Don’t you love the message in this thought?

I love the hope that it brings and the fact that anyone can start at any point in their life to make a new ending!

 This might be fun printed and framed.  It would make a fun gift if you need a quick one!  :)

To print, right click over image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder and you can print from there or send it to your favorite photo processors.

Have a Great Thursday!  Love Ya!

Sweet Succulents!

I am getting anxious to start working in my garden but it is still too early to plant most things.

 I  planted some some butter crunch lettuce which is one of my favorite things, but that is about it for now,  so I decided that I would plant some beautiful succulents!  These are great to plant, because they do not take very much maintenance!  You only have to water them every once in awhile when the soil dries out!  I don’t have very many houseplants, because I don’t  take good enough care of them!   But these are easy and they are so beautiful!  These plants make great gifts, because the person receiving the gift does not have very much maintenance to keep them looking beautiful!

Tulip Time

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love this time of year because the tulips are just starting to peek above the ground.

 I have a very special place in my heart for these beautiful flowers because I have a son that lived in the Netherlands for two years and he talked of the magnificent tulip fields!  My husband and I also visited The Netherlands and one of the things that we remembered the most was the seemingly endless fields of multicolored tulips with the picturesque windmills in the background.  It was so gorgeous and such a breathtaking view!

   Because of that experience, I have several bunches of tulips planted in my yard and I love when they start peeking through the snow, because I know that spring is on the way!

I  love cut tulips and I bought this great little bunch at a local store to brighten up my kitchen.  Aren’t they beautiful with the white tips!  It just really brightens my day and makes me happy to see these when I work in my kitchen!
