Seedy Saturday

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

This fantastic Saturday started off with a great cup of coffee and a multi-grain english muffin with almond butter.  Then off to SEEDY SATURDAY.  It was a little crazy  but well worth the $2 admission.  

The vendors were great and I got to meet the owners of Worms At Work.  They are very enthusiastic and helpful.  Mr. Worms At Work was especially enthusiastic and kept saying, “This is worm poop!”.  Good times. 

I also came home with some seeds from the cutest (cutest as in sterotypical, 50 something, super nice and friendly) farmer from Saskatchewan, Jim Ternier.   He had his teenaged daughter helping him out.  I am especially excited about the Blue Fescue and Switch Grass I got from him.  I want to put those in some ornamental pots out in front of the house.  Woohoo!

Next, was off to Michael’s for some more yarn.  I am making this blanket , expect in orange, turquoise, brown and red.  Kind of a weird color combo but I am really diggin it.  The yarn is left over from this project and the colors were inspired from this project.  Tonight will be especially exciting because my husband is going out for a boys’ night and I will be at home crocheting while watching a movie! Oh yes! The excitement!  I hope to get more hexagons done.

So far so good…

 Next for this awesome Saturday?  Yoga and some planting!  Seriously? What could be better???

Here are my tomato seedlings under my homemade floralight (post to come…). 

Grow my pretties! Grow!

This site!

Doesn’t this look so fun and bright?  AND it’s easy enough for a newbie like myself to make! 

Perhaps it’s the bright colors that attract me…but this would also be very warm!  Our basement is always so cold!  This would be such a great blanket to snuggle up with!
