mary, mary, quite contrary...how does your garden grow?

unlike the nursery rhyme, my garden doesn't grow like mary's......
i worked long and hard to get my garden to this point....
i would like to show you the many things i grow in my garden....


now don't be fooled by those tulips in there....
i am really going for the weed and grass look....
i started yesterday in the corner of one of my lovely weed/grass gardens in hopes to thin out the lovely weeds/grass.....
maybe even re-plant them somewhere else in the yard......hahaha......
it took me 45 minutes to do this one little corner!......
and 2 big buckets full of these lovely plants......
see....what progress?......


my dream garden......to look like temple square gardens!!!


mark in 25 years......

mark participated in a young men/young women's activity called "where's waldo"....
he and others had to disguise themselves and wander the mall.....
the youth had to find them to get parts of a scripture they were putting together.....
when we put silver spray in mark's hair, stuffed a pillow in his shirt to give him a gut, and put suspenders on......
i almost died and died laughing......
"you look just like your dad!!"......
here is mark in 25 years, looking just like his dad.....

material.....not material girl

our quilt group has decided to form a quilt guild.
i am the secretary and so i made a blog.....sewfineinsandy.blogspot.com
we are meeting once a month for different quilting activities and so today was our first official activity day!
we went on a field trip to Christensen Wholesale Fabrics....just happens to be the same company that made amy harmer's fabric.
i don't know what it is about fabric, but i love to go and look at it.....
i love to go to fabric stores......weird, i know!
i am not even that great of a sewer or quilter for that matter, but i love fabric!
i guess you could say i am a "material girl"! haha
