Loofah-tastic

Did you see this video?



Hilarious! Apparently it's "offensive to women". I think that's ridiculous. For one thing, it's make-believe, and for another, what woman would be stupid enough to get in the tub?

Anywho, I saw a different video on one of my fav blogs, The Art of Doing Stuff. I was intrigued by the potential and decided to attempt growing loofah myself.

LocalHarvest.com

The lady who lived in our house before must have be quite a gardener. There are pots strewn about the property. I planted these Saturday, we'll see what happens...

I have like 30 seeds left, does anyone else want to try to grow some loofah?

Rug Update

I spoke to the carpet saleslady, we'll call her "Brynna". The company that is shipping it has no ETA at the moment. They also said the new shipment could be crooked, as well. So "Brynna" says she's not comfortable with the situation and she is going to have her manager refund my credit card. She's not comfortable?

So now I am not getting it.

Starting over: Any ideas?

SYL: Bunting Kit Received

I got my Bunting Cross Stitch Kit in the mail on Tuesday from Erin at Slipcover Your Life!

Okay, well... OBVIOUSLY, this is a terrible picture and I suck as a photographer, but I LOVE IT! I am a bit nervous about getting started as I haven't cross-stitched in about 15 years, but I am sure it will turn out fab! I chose the colors with the intent of adding it to my gallery wall in the LR if I ever get everything up and Erin even threw in a extra color, just in case! Love her, she is the greatest!

Wildflowers

I don't know what these little flowers are, but they are turning our yard into a meadow and they only bloom during the day.

Directly in front of our house.

 

Looking to the left, from the porch.

 

 Looking to the right.

 No idea what these little purple flowers are either, but they're pretty.

 They almost look like minuscule Iris's from this angle.

 Anybody know what these are? Besides lovely, of course.

Run, Don't Walk...

to your local Costco today, ladies (and Eric)!! I picked up the new Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts: Basic Techniques for Sewing, Applique, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing, plus 150 Inspired Projects from A to Z (Hardcover) {wow, that is quite a ridiculous title, no?} for a scant $18.99! That is $2.00 cheaper that Amazon.com and you don't have to spend $25.00 to get free shipping!  

So excited!
