The Pleasures of Gardening & Crafting


Here's the "by product" of my so called green thumb (Mesclun, Spinach and Carrots):


(below picture shows my "peas")

Some of my recent "crafts", which are Sets of Painted Decoupaged Wood Plaques

(of which I'm going to be selling):

For those of you that have young children and have their room decorated in a specific theme, what is it? I'm asking only because I need to know what parents/kids like so that I may concentrate on those theme. :-)

Ally's room was once decorated with colorful photos of real flowers.

Now, of course, it's more of a disaster area thanks to the bi-monthly shipments of new toys from grandparents. :-)

Winnie the Pooh is still a hot commodity, and I have seen a lot of lime green making its way into nurseries.

Elephants -- Ally loves (and collects) those.

Care Bears, Dora -- hot stuff right now.

Hope this helps some?

I don’t have any kids so I can’t help you out… just wanted to say hi and that I’m looking forward to watching your garden grow! A friend of mine plants different veggies and melons each year and it’s always so much fun to visit her and check out the progress of her garden.

Hi Carole! I love the Tinkerbell plaques! I have a beautiful Tinkerbell print in my daughter's room that I've loved for years (it was my inspiration for my screen name) so I am very interested in the plaques when they are available for purchase. We are painting her room pink this week!! Anyhow, my daughter loves anything princess, the Disney 3 Princess stuff is really hot now. She also loves rainbows, unicorns, castles, pegasus, stuff like that. She got a Hello Kitty Easter Basket this year, we LOVE Hello Kitty around here. Good luck with your new endeavors!!

You're incredibly artistic! When my daughter was young, I had a lot of black and white stuff in her room because children don't respond to color until the later months. Big, bold things as well as a mobile in black and white. I loved it!
Later on, it was anything Disney.
Now, she's 14 and still absolutely LOVES her Minnie Mouse comforter. It is almost threadbare.
