I had a good spring break. A good portion of it was spent sewing, and kite flying, and CP (crock pot) bbq chicken eating. My friend Mary and I sewed up our own kites and while it was fun, they didn't ever really get too high. We think they might be too heavy, so I'm going to get some lighter dowel rods and see if that helps.

This weekend is the first one I am working at the greenhouse, so I'm going to be a crazy busy woman until school get's out. On the plus side, I bought a couple cute biodegradable pots and some pansies. I didn't think I liked pansies, but they have grown on me. Once everything starts to bloom I'm going to be so happy there I think.

Also, my DNA card was recently featured in Que Interesante! Take a look!

On Thursday the weather is supposed to be absolutely perfect for kite flying, so I'm finally getting around to making a kite that's been on my list for a couple of years. It is using this tutorial and I'm thankful for any excuse to use up my scrap fabric. When I got my dowel rods I went ahead and bought enough for two kites so a friend can join me! I'm very excited about this prospect. I haven't been kite flying for quite some time.

Speaking of scrap fabric, how cool would it be to have this lovely vintage piece around? I have had this fabric in my favorites for quite some time and while I have no idea what I would do with it, (I would probably be too terrified to even cut into it) I think it looks amazing. Check it out here!

It has been far too long since my last post, but spring break is finally upon me so I'll be better this week. Until then, here are a couple of rocking treasuries I was lucky enough to be included in.
