Its winter? Who knew....
Category: Not a beginner anymore | Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 5:37 pm So we had a few cold fronts that went down to the 30s, but the next day it was warm again. I see all the troubles everyones having with all the snow. That's so why I don't live up north..bbbrrrr... But I can't believe bad this winter is, oddly for us its the complete opposite, its our warmest.... I have been adding photos to my albums but I haven't been posting on the forums or written a blog in awhile. Been really busy with the kids and crafts and work. I feel kinda spread thin. But I'm good it will all work out. I've actually stopped adding to my list and have been finishing stuff to take it off my list. But one thing I did forget was to post the ninja turtle cupcakes when I did them, but better late then never right......

I've been teaching kids crafts like the rainbowloom and more recently paracording. A lot of my time lately has been on making planners for the classes and learning the diffrent designs.....

I even got rid of those pesky white flies! I lost the mexican heather I had, the cosmos are blooming that a stewbie sent me. My roses from last valentines are huge and now I have another from this year. Good Hubby!! Hehe I'm still the queen of romaine lettuce. I'm trying cabbage and broccoli finally. I just planted some petunia seeds in hanging pots and hope they sprout soon. I'm trying my hand at strawberries and blue berries this year. I keep busy in the garden, it sure is easier then when it was in the ground though. Here's a few of my projects I've been working on..... Haha I keep busy I swear!

Fabulous Fall
Category: Not a beginner anymore | Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2013 4:17 pm Wow its great to walk outside and feel a nice fall breeze. Its about time geesh! Now maybe I can straighten my hair with out the humidity turning it to instant frizz! Speaking of hair... check out this cool hairclip I made.... 
Halloween hairclip I made ( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) I've also been making a lot of friendship bracelets lately... its like little Laura is coming back out... haha... I made stuff like this when I was a kid and now its come back around... so here's a few I made for some besties I have.... 
Bracelet I made ( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) 
Another bracelet I made ( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) I've got a few sprouts on my window sil going. A few came from stewbies (thank you again)... I've got 3 Astors, Romaine Lettuce, Orange Cosmos, 1 Blackeyed Susan going, I planted some peony poppies but no sprouts just yet and some mammoth sunflowers again(yeah I just keep trying them). 
( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) 
( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) This basket I painted about 20 times since I've had it. It gets used for so many various decorations. Now its my centerpiece I just popped my Jade ripple plant in it. Don't worry its in a liner. Didn't want to ruin my basket. Ok here's my walkway. I have 3 daylillies still going pretty good. They have been getting some spotted leaves but I think it will pass. I have 3 okra still producing and the white bird of paradise is still looking awesome. The snap dragons and mexican heather are still flowering and my pepper plant that was in this area I pulled, it just wasn't producing. So now I've planted a mum in the empty pot.

( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) My sitting area would be nicer if I could get a thick vine over there.... I have morning glories that I found growing in the back yard planted there. They are different then mine that I grew from seed... the people that lived here before had a lot of plants and I keep finding things I know back there... haha So this one is producing small flowers.

( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) 
( photo / image / picture from Mrs. Galeassi's Garden ) Now this is the area really affected by the white flies, but I've gotten them under control just not demolished! I lost my Cuphea though and I don't know why, was it the flies or something else. Ugh so pulled it today. Now I need something tall over there. Maybe the cosmos would look good there. The orange celosia I just bought pretty much seems to be dying off but I planted the dead heads in the pot with it and have a whole bunch of lil sproutlings. The pink celosia babies are getting pretty big. I'm not fond of these plants, they never live long after I get them, but at least they produce babies. I'm still mad some of my purchased plants don't produce good seeds! Argh like that african daisy I loved! My rose, marigold,sweet williams, tomato, mint, leeks, oregano, ivy and vincas are all still doing great! I am thrilled! The come back king is the butterfly bush.. right off the rescue rack! Its flowering for the first time. :)
