Spring Touches

Good gravy has it really been this long since I have updated my blog? Sheesh Louise. Well, in fairness, I've been pretty busy. I thought that things would slow down after the craft show, but I was wrong. Shane is still working 7-1o's which has left us little time together. And again, he's still got night school twice a week so again, rough. Our basement/crawl space under our house flooded the other day. We had to get a sump pump to get the water down. We were breathing a sigh of relief until this morning when we discovered a crack in the hose and more water in the basement than had been there the first time. Thankfully, Shane and my father-n-law are hero's and were able to take care of everything. Also, our truck broke down for the upteenth time this past week so we are actively looking for something new. We have our sights set on a Jeep Liberty down in Toronto. So that involves a little road trip. If you think of it, could you please pray for us in regards to this situation. We're really excited that hopefully this week we will have a new vehicle but definatly don't want to end up with some sort of lemon. Not that I'm complaining about all this .... stuff.... but this has been my life since I last blogged. :)

My sister-n-law, Sarah, and I are getting ready to do a craft show on May 9th. It's something new we are undertaking. After about a year of throwing around ideas to actually start a business in the craft show world, we finally have set ourselves up. We have a table booked and each night we are busying producing our wares. We are up to our eyeballs in wooden signs, wooden blocks and Scrabble tile necklaces. I'm also busy trying to get ready to open my own Etsy shop! I'm incredibly excited about all these little adventures but it sure hasn't left me much time to blog.

Since it's almost Easter and since it is officially Spring...though the snow the past few days would tell you otherwise...I wanted to show just a couple of touches I've done around my casa to welcome the season. I've just done a few things as I'm not really decorating too much. We are doing/planning for a number of house projects and it's just much easier to not have the decorations up only to have to take them back down. But anyways! Here are some of the things I've done.

I bought this bag of cute cloth wrapped balls and that adorable carrot at the craft show as well. Can you see the bunnies stamped onto the one ball? I just love these! When Easter is over, I'm just going to turn the bunnies away so no one can see them. I may still leave the carrot in there. It's too cute! The wicker balls I purchased at the Dollar Store.


This is my display by my kitchen sink. I bought myself this sweet plant. It has pink leaves! I mean, how perfect is that?? I've had it for a couple of weeks now and it's still looking good. I definatly don't have a green thumb so I'm trying really hard to take care of it.

I bought this birdie salt and pepper shakers from Target a few years ago. They are taking up residence on my baking goods canisters now.

And finally, this little bunnie is hanging on my pantry door. I just love him.

I hope that everyone has a great afternoon! Now I'm off to go catch up on some blog reading! ~M
