Finally made something for my daughter. She loves her new dress! 
Do you ever wish you were literate (right word? correct spelling?) enough to have a quote for every occasion? At our home we had a song for every occasion. But you can’t break into song on a blog. It just doesn’t work… Can’t help singing…lalalaalaaa.
See? Doesn’t work.
Ok, what was I saying again?
Oh yeah, quotations. I wish I knew more quotes to be able to say;
” ‘Benjamin Franklin once said, Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.’ And taking his words to heart my days have been amazingly hectic. I have been doing everything lately. Dishes, laundry, sewing, more sewing, organizing, taking care of my walking girl . Oh yeah, I have been sewing! “
See, the whole quote just adds something to the post.
Ahhh as Shakespeare would say… what would he say in this situation?
”Things always work according to their nature. She has won her heart’s desire; she has unwearying strength and endless days like a goddess. But length of days with an evil heart is only length of misery and already she begin to know it. All get what they want; they do not always like it.”

Made this video at my Mom’s house today. I am not sure how to upload videos on here but here is the link.
Updated Garden pics!
Pomegrante bushes
Basil and what’s left of the tomatoes and parsley
And the beautiful pommie tree by my front door. It’s in the neighbors yard of course but its still so pretty!
I can tell fall is coming. Allergies are here and I don’t have to keep the fan on us all night! YAY! Well, about the fan anyways. 
I have had a very busy weekend. We started our fall garden. YAY!
David cut some pomegrante and tried planting a hedge of them over the weekend. Two lived but two have died and we transplanted the volunteers from our garden into the dead ones bowl and they are looking very healthy. This is day 5 so we’ll see. I love pomegrante season. My neighbor has a bush that she always lets us pick from. It will be so nice to have my own though.
They are more heavily mulched now of course.
Here is the first row we planted. In that row there is two rows of radishes. Its a little over a ft wide so its easily fits two rows of radishes. We also planted two rows of green beans, pole and bush type but I haven’t gotten a picture of it yet.
They are already starting to come up. Its sooo exciting. Now here is alittle rant. PET owners. PLEASE keep your dogs and cats inside YOUR yard. We woke up this morning to find pot holes in our rows. Our neighbors dog came and trambled the row. Its VERY discouraging to spend hours preping the soil, planting and using a lot of TLC only to have it trampled to death within minutes. It is not a little mishap. It’s one that could have been avoided. This happens every season. Also, our garden is NOT a liter box for your cats. Please keep your cats liter box cleaned or something. We have tried to be friendly and neighborly about this but it has come to the point where if we find your animal in our yard we will take it to the pound. I know we are not the only ones that have had trouble with this. So if you own pets, please concider what their roaming around can cause. Thank you. 
So, this weekend we also pulled out a closet in the bedroom. This was a very hard task to do. A) because the previous owners built the closet into the ceiling. Smart on their part because they wanted a sturdy closet but very bad for us that wanted it out. Don’t worry we still have 2 closets in the bedroom
So this is before.
and this is after (but before my sprucing up)
I’ll have to update you on what that now looks like. I have a couple homemade quilts hangin up. So pretty and more baby-room looking without having to have a baby room! She still sleeps with us in the “master” bedroom. Its so nice to not have that crib blocking the clothes closet and having to move it everytime you need to get in. Especially for the preggo mom here. I can’t tell you what a relief it has been to have it and a more organized room.
Another yard sale this weekend!
I am also pulling a plug for my used items blog that also has the homemade dresses on it. My friend is also going to use my blog to sell some of her gently used second hand clothes. Two stay-at-home moms bloggin’ away goods for your sweeties. It does help us pay the bills so before you go to the thrift store or second hand store, see if there is anything you could use. Save the ebay hassle too! For all my stuff if you buy six items or lots you recieve free shipping!
Ok, its almost dinner time and I should actually make something. EEK! Where has the day gone?
