themselves out...but by nightfall you are just worn slap out!!

Thoughts of spring ~

Do you find your mind wandering and thinking of spring? It's always so beautiful here in Georgia and it's coming fast now. Our wedding anniversary is March 21st and usually by then the trees are in full bloom and the grass has greened up.

I love rustic-looking planting pots and wanted to learn more about making a hypertufa pot. I searched around on the internet and found several great links on making them. It looks a little messy but on a beautiful, spring day it would be fun to make several for your new spring plants.

Here's some great instructions on the HGTV website:

I even found sweet mushrooms that were created from the leftover mixture!

I have several unfinished projects waiting for me in my studio ~ which I usually don't do. I love to see them finished. We've been moving things around here at home getting ready for little Clara....she'll be here soon!

I had a changing table that I was using to store fabric on and cleaned it off so Emily could use it in their room for the baby. She's definitely in her nesting phase and the moon is getting more full by the day!!

Wishing you a very happy Thursday sweet friends,

xxoo, Dawn

ps. I may have given you these bird images before but I just love them!
