I Wish I Had A Private Jet

This is one of the many few times that, after watching this video, I wished I had a private jet.  If I did, one of my trips would be to visit this fantastic duo in the UK.  Seriously, how cute can these two get?  And the fact that Betty calculates all the books figures in her head?  It's completely swoon worthy for a gal like me that needs a calculator more than I can to admit.

They also have a website (TeddyGrays.co.uk) if you want to dig a little deeper into this sweet business.  I wish them continued success!

Hello Spring

The weather has been gorgeous around here lately and I've been lucky enough to have the prettiest blooms sprouting out around my house.  

These beauties were "gifts" from the family that lived here previously and I'm so happy they made some of the selections that they did (with the exception of some of the bushes we took down which were absolute mosquito magnets!).

I'm hoping that this year I'll be able to make more of a dent in our landscaping and brighten up the front of our house and yard.  In the meantime, check out this fantastic DIY that I spied through Pinterest that I'd love to make for my front entryway, but I'm guessing it would look just as great out back as well ... Weekend DIY Project: Stacked Planterss For Your Home Sweet Home.  Now pardon me while I tell the Mr. we're headed to the Home Depot / neighborhood nursery this weekend to make this happen.

Q&A Featurette

Not too long ago I received a request from the talented Becky of Love Everday Life, asking if I wouldn't mind participating in a blog Q&A that would feature my Etsy shop and work (one of my hoops was also part of her Eat It, Read It, Need It featurette).  

Would I mind?  Heck freaking no!  How awesome is it when someone likes your work so much they'd like to tell everyone else as well?  Needless to say I answered a few questions she had and the Q&A was posted later in the week.

If you're interested in checking it out, here's the link.  I'd suggest heading over to Love Everyday Life regardless, it's a fantastic blog and I've been a fan ever since.  Thanks again, Becky!
