Spring Garden

I can’t let these beautiful Spring days pass without sharing how glorious my desert landscape garden is. I know the crazy summer heat is soon to come so I want to fully enjoy the days we have right now. This will also be the last year that we will have the fabulous bluebell wildflowers in the front yard because the short one is allergic and this is the third year in a row that she has been “kicked” of her mountain due to the allergy. So they will be killed off this season and we’ll have to choose a different wildflower next year.

Lucky Clover

Saint Patricks Day is only two days away and I am headed to Austin for South By Southwest. I thought I should make a little something green to wear so I don’t get pinched. I used the Provo Cuttle Bug dies to make basically the whole things. Visit lovelylula for the full “How To”.

Wall Flowers and Lollypop Trees

It was brought to my attention after the post on the short one’s room, that I have not provided a post on the smallest one’s room. She arrived 20 days early with a pop and a surprise so we had to finish up after she was here. It is pretty cute and so I am happy to share. I love the deer art on the wall by Larkspur Studio’s there is also a fabu piece on the upper shelf by Fort Guerin. The couch is a re-covered vintage piece and the rug is from IKEA it is called LUSY BLOM.
