Garden Update.

What's new in the garden? Lots of little green unripe strawberries, green beans (staked and ready to climb), lush salad bed (I'm eating salad every meal), and sugar snap peas, (the girls' favorite). Pretty much everything is planted, now comes the waiting. We have seedlings poked everywhere! Here's a peak at the garden in April.

*And yes, my littlest one regularly wears two different colored crocs + they're on the wrong feet. That's how she likes it. :)

Berry Inspired.

This year we want to plan a camping trip near a u-pick farm. I think it would be fun for the girls. I could nag them not to eat their weight in berries while we're picking and they could ignore me. Besides I want to make jam, lots of it.

Oh So Good.

I'm addicted to this Thai Peanut Sauce. Yesternight (as my daughter says) I slapped it on a homemade pizza crust topped with chicken, cheese, green onions, carrots, and broccoli. So yummy! Pizza night is becoming a warm weather favorite around here. :) What are your favorite summertime foods?

* There's a couple prints in the treasury sale section over in the left column! Thanks to everyone putting me in their treasuries!

Quickie.

My last 3 shop cards. The new ones came out pea green instead of yellow. Darn. Oh well, I still like them. :) I've been a bad blogger lately, I know. Nice weather=Me outside, exhausted.
It's raining today, perhaps I will get something done indoors. Don't hold me to it though.

Gone Weekending.

Our peonies are blooming! And it's raining. I hate to see their big heads fill with water and lean towards the ground, so it's the perfect excuse to cut a few and bring them inside. This weekend I'll transplant many of our little seedlings into the garden & get potatoes in the ground. I'll post a garden update on Monday! Have a good weekend.

Pretty Things.

Just a pretty photo. I especially love the paintings and the little clamp on light. Via nestdecorating.

Designer Series for pingg.

My Collection for Pingg

Last month the kind team over at pingg contacted me to be a part of their Designer Series. My collection is now live, alongside other designer collections, such as Martha Stewart's and Jessica Gonacha Swift's. Pingg's ecards and evites can be a free, easy, eco-friendly (paperless) way to announce your event or send a hello to a friend. (It's also built in as an application if you use Yahoo email, look in the left side bar!) I mocked up a few possibilities, just for fun. :) Totally customizable and pingg Plus can even print and mail your invites if you wish. I posted a button under my blog profile, simply click to access my collection!

* btw- I totally see the typo in that last one, but hey, I did this before my coffee kicked in, so it's allowed!

Suit Up.

As I was eating a thick slab of pound cake yesterday I started thinking of bikini season...see how those two things go together? I'm off to a bad start already. {hehe} Anyway- I'm on the hunt for a new suit. All the ones above are from Anthropologie, and more than I really want to spend I might add. I've never considered a one-piece, but I think the retro-ish cuts are kinda cute. Anyone else want to share their anxiety of swimsuit shopping? You know...for moral support? :)

Vintage Portrait Wall.

Loving vintage portrait walls as seen on sfgirlbybay and figandplum. What do you think? Is it a bit creepy to have strangers hanging about your walls? I like to make up stories about people anyhow, so I think it would be pretty entertaining. I included a few from Etsy's vintage category. What's up with the ghost hands on guitar lady? :) I like her already.
