Garden pics, June 28, 2009

We have been getting lots of rain here in Colorado!  And my garden is loving it!!
Here are some pics of the growing, yummy veggies.  Yes, I know I need to weed :)  that is my least favorite part of gardening...
 
Lettuce and pumpkin

 
onions and peas.  (yes, I need to weed)

 
The whole garden.    Cucumber. 

The Green wall, whatcha think?

Here is the green accent color wall.  I am really excited about the "accent color wall" !!!  I have always liked the concept, but never had anywhere to put it!

New things I made...11/27/8

Still pretty stressed around here.  The worry of Josh's job loss still looms, and I am working lots of hours both at work and sewing to pad our savings account.  I am also sewing some custom orders, and making Christmas gifts.  I am really hopeful the gifts turn out as great as they are in my head :)  I am really excited about them!!  I love to make handmade gifts, I wish I didn't have so many other projects right now so I could enjoy them more.  My Christmas wish is to have the basement usable in the next 2 weeks so that we can get a christmas tree, since we are not going home (and we have no room in our house currently).  with lots of work, from josh, (as i work OT, sew, and make christmas gifts:) so we'll see if it happens or not...:)  I am really hoping!  (he never reads this)

Anyhow, I have had a small amount of time to do a few other things for my website. 
They are available to buy, think GIFT ideas!
