Around the house

Happy Friday!! This week has been rather busy for me, in case you hadn't noticed! :)  But I'm ready to get back into a little more blogging! :)

It has been a little while since I did a post on my little garden. It is growing by leaps and bounds! Love it!! I am so ready to have some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers...

The cucumbers are doing great, by the way... see them in the left corner of my little plot? I did end up planting a few more seeds in the ground. I think they actually do better that way rather then starting them indoors.

Here is my little garden "annex" at the front of our house:

That is peppermint taking over, with basil and a little bit of dill. :) Yum! :)


Last Friday was our favorite sale!! I got a few things, some I will be sharing later.. :) Here are a few of my favorites.

Dishcloths!! They are much easier to buy for 25 cents than to knit myself. It's a shame that people don't recognize what they are - most of them were marked "potholders." (I wouldn't want to handle a hot pan with one!) They washed up rather well!

I also got a few assorted glass containers. My favorite is that ice bucket. (Which incidentally did not come with a lid, but Mom and I found one in a different spot - I think it matches rather well!)

After a bit of scrubbing, it is serving it's purpose wonderfully...

It almost makes doing laundry fun! :)

And it is the perfect container for my homemade laundry soap! :) (which I am still enjoying, by the way. I will certainly be making it again!)
