I've been planting and transplanting and coddling plants for about three weeks now. I am patiently awaiting their leaves and blooms in hopes that my care has paid off. In the meantime, I'm bringing color to my backyard and garden by my own accord.

Garden Tote |
I made this vibrant garden tote in the dead of winter after finding this fabric on sale at
The Needle Shop. It has been hanging on a doorknob all winter and now it is out in the yard in full affect. After three weeks of use I have yet to yell, "where the hell did I put my
pruner?" to no one in particular. Everything in one place. It can hold all my tools plus whatever it is I am planting. It is not, however, this clean anymore nor will it ever be I assume.

Solar Lanterns |
I hung these lovely s
olar powered garden lanterns yesterday. My friend Eva and I took a weekday trip to Ikea in March and I found these. They were $10 each. Not bad, especially since I've had good luck Ikea solar lights. They work, and I've had
one string for 4 years now and it still faithfully lights up. I don't know why I thought any different with these lanterns, but last night when I looked out my window at the garage I didn't expect to see these lit up, but they were, in fact, glowing in the moonlight (streetlight). Immediately a smile came to my face - they made me so happy (I get it now, Mom).
I should put up a picture, but I know they won't look as good via picture, so I will selfishly keep the image in my mind and invite you over for a BBQ or something fun like that so you can see them for yourself.
...more summer colors to come...
love the bag. janet
