Dead Lavender...

The side of my house that i intend to make pretty this weekend

Yes, it's official that the Lavender I planted last summer, it's under all the weeds you see sprouting out of the rocks, is dead. So, today hubby and I are going to Tagama Nursery to buy a rose shrub - my other rose bush is doing beatifully and I will post a pic once the buds start to open. The new rose shrub will hopefully give a lot sweeter view of the side of our house that everyone in the neighborhood drives by all day long. I mainly want to block the water main pipes and the foundation from view.

The view from my desk this morning

Lunch on friday at rio

The Ice Cream Man Wins!

Working at home means that every afternoon around the time the kiddos are getting dropped of by the bus the ice cream man echoes his tune through the houses on the street. Today he won and the hubby and I each got a bomb pop, which felt like it was about 10 times bigger than I remember them!

Thanks Jessica!

I know it's probably not good manners to thank somone for a thank you, but Jessica was so very nice to send me a handmade thank you card for the pouch I made her (with the zippers she gave me that her grandma gave her). She included the cutest little postcard made by Emily, a fellow Etsyian! It's called 'A Good egg is Hard to find', it's sitting on the shelf next to my desk in the office! Thanks Jessica!

Finally, A zipper pouch!

Thanks to Jessica over at Funky Finds who sent me an entire box of zippers that were given to her by her grandmother I had the guts to try and make some zipper pouches with clean interiors and no visible seams. I'm so excited, I think I'm going to take the blue & white floral I got from Japan and make a few zippered pouches for the shop.
