Today I went to Lowes.  We're adding on to our raised bed garden and needed more wood to build a new home for our corn.  While wandering around, I found this:

A GORGEOUS happy fern named 'Lemon Button'!  She is an Exotic Angel Plant (I LOVE Exotic Angel plants!!!) that loves indirect light and medium water.  I have the perfect white ceramic pot picked out and she'll live on the side of my tub surrounded by river rock.  :)
I also ran across this beautiful new book!  'Handmade Home-Simple Ways to Repurpose Old Materials into New Family Treasures'.  By Amanda Blake Soule.  I instantly fell in love with her projects, her family and her.  I can't wait to make the sweet banner pictured on the cover!  Along with each project, you'll find a story that accompanies.  Often they are very personal and touching. 

 I felt like I wanted to be Amanda's new best friend and was delighted to find that she has a blog!  You can find her-along with her photos, links to buy this book and 'The Creative Family', her first book and other interesting finds at:

Much Love,

Oooh...I just got some JoAnn's coupons! I'll have to go play! I've always had that sewing itch, but haven't really known how to handle it. I'm so happy that I finally broke down and got my own machine-I've all but completed two quilt tops! :)
