Its spring! Time to start the gardin!

Every spring I like to challenge myself to grow a plant (normally a flower) other then the usual house plants. I've never really had a green thumb but sometimes the flowers end up living and I have a nice focal pop of colour in my room.

This year I've chosen to grow Aster flowers (seen above) for their symbolism. "Symbol of love, daintiness, talisman of love" (wiki) This seems to fit with my life right now.


If you have more of a green thumb then I do perhaps you should try a slightly larger outdoors garden, or a small herb garden (the kind that comes in a kit). Gardening can be a relaxing hobby for the long summer days as long as you dont get your favorite dress dirty!


Do you enjoy gardening or ever try to grow anything?

Friendship brear gift idea!

So two of my friends are having a conjoined late (almost early, their birthday is in november) birthday party. Its so late that i don't know if other people are bringing presents but i would feel rude not bringing one, so i thought i would go the cute, sentimental road!

Im making matching teddybears from purple and yellow fabric with little button eyes. the fronts and ears are different colours but the back is all the same colour, one purple and one yellow. that way they mach and they both have something i made just for them! I hope they like the present!

In the picture one is finished but the other one is still a work in progress! im sewing its eyes on now.



I think these are the coolest flowers i've ever seen! they bloom upside down and look kind-of like an octopus! i just had to toss the picture in, i felt like such a stalker taking a picture of flowers in someone else's front lawn.


And on a side note, the giveaway i mentioned a while ago should be ready this weekend! look forward to it!
