Ready to garden!

I don't know about y'all but I am ready to play in the dirt!! We planted some tomatoes and corn Saturday. Today we went shopping for seeds & plants, but it poured down rain so we won't be able to get them in the ground for a few days. Our big plans for our yard/garden is a small natural pond near the edge of the garden and a bench beside it, a small butterfly garden in the back yard and clean up around the shed of the empty house next door. No one has lived there in a while and the last person left a lot of junk out there (scraps of wood, tires, etc.) and it doesn't look like anyone is going to clean it up! So I'll just get what is on the edge and maybe it won't be a snake pit. I know for sure that rat are living there because I saw one of my cats catch one! After I get the stuff gone maybe we can put up a section of fence to block it or something. I guess I didn't notice it before because it is in the back yard of my studio--before we bought it, I didn't really notice what was back there. We have a fence up in our yard, so I couldn't see it anyway. I would love to buy the house and fix it up--it really wouldn't take much, but I think we have plenty of projects on our hands now! Frazier is now hanging around all the time begging to be petted. He even paws at me to pet him if I'm not paying attention to him!

I bought myself these little Bozo forks and spoons off ebay....I always remember one Bozo fork that hung around in our silverware drawer at home. I don't know if we ever had a whole set and Momma can't remember either, but I always loved to eat with it. It was small and just right for my little hands. My husband asked me what I was going to do--was I going to eat with them? I told him "of course!" Maybe I will have my sisters over we can eat with them. LOL! I'm sure they remember them....

I have been doing some work on my sites and actually added a few new patterns to The Cat's Pyjamas Patterns . (And new graphics too....) Its been a while! If you click the "new" button you will see the last 3 things I added. I need to get busy--I have neglected it too long. I am bad about making new things and never putting them on my site. Like I said,I really need an assistant!! I have to get back to sewing--Pumpkin probably misses sitting in the basket beside me while I stitch!! I actually have several new ones that I had on Creative Living with Sheryl Borden. I think I may make those into free patterns and will post the first one here soon!!
