Update

I have been majorly neglecting my blog! Recently I have been gardening, sewing dresses/tops for Kayla, and looking at paint colours. Oh, and I'm also finishing up my current course. I will be SO happy when it's over, I know there are more classes coming but I just don't want to do it anymore. I have too many other things going on.

Kayla LOVES our little container garden, we have two tomato plants, a few romaine lettuce plants, and some strawberry plants as well. Kayla has her own little flower which she loves, but by the time we got home from the store she had already picked off one of the two flowers it had. At the moment, it's not doing so good, but we're hopefull that she will see some more flowers from it. My tomatoes and lettuce are doing great, but so far the strawberries don't seem to be doing anything at all. Kayla asks either me or Paul, every single day, if she can go out and water the plants! She likes to water so much that I've asked her to just water the plants that are in the ground around our patio rather then our container garden!

Over the last weekend, I just happened to find a nice table and chair set that I liked on Craigslist (I was looking for a bookshelf!). We made our way over there to check it out and found out that the guy also had a couple other things we liked... we filled up the truck with a couple great pieces and I am so happy! I DO plan to re-cover the chairs (I'm not going to bother to take the current fabric off if I can avoid it), but it's going to take a long time before I find the right fabric AND Paul agrees with my choice! I already found a couple fabrics I liked on a website I often use but Paul didn't like ANY of them.

I've also been thinking about doing a bit of painting... once I finally finish those pictures I've had around forever and get them up on the wall (it's brown, the pictures are white with green), I have been thinking about colour blocking a square behind them. I can't decide between an aqua or teal vs a slightly lighter avocado green. I have found a couple greens that I am completely in love with, but they seem to blend a lot with our current wall colour and I don't really want that. I've also found a couple teals or blues that I am drawn to on their own, but on the wall they really pop, which is exactly what I want, they're just not my absolute complete favorite like the greens are...

Decisions, decisions, decisions!
