Love the life you live. Live the life you love.
After a little rest, thanks to a teensy thunderstorm that passed through yesterday, I think I am fully recovered enough to pick up where I left off in the garden. I'm happy to say, that I now have a plan for the comfrey, thanks to Kristy's suggestion to make fertilizer from it, and directing me to green wellies for the know-how. I so appreciate the other suggestions too and am thinking them over. Thank you ladies!
The playhouse (above) has taken on a new look this summer. These field daises surprise us in new places every year. Actually had to mow down that one side to find the stepping stones. It's so pretty and magical right now. I almost expect to see a little fairy or gnome peeking out somewhere. Just for fun, click on the image to bring that idea to life. There might be other *surprises* around too. Hint, hint. Oh, and the frontyard landscape project is done! We just couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out. (Pictures soon.) Now to don my apron and roll up my sleeves...
Lovely! ~Mandy

How lovely. Your pictures of the playhouse with the daises does indeed look magical. The deer adds to the effect.
Thank you for the kittens. They will add whimsical touch to baby's quilt or dish towels.

Many, many years ago, when I was a little girl, I would have traded my favorite Ginny Doll for a playhouse like yours. Just lovely. And thanks for the cute kittens! The sleeping kitty will make an adorable pillowcase!

I saw the cheeky little guy...does the other fellow eat the daises, or do you ask him please not to?
I always wanted a play house...still do :)
I am doing a little embroidering project. I had forgotten how much fun it is...and it fills in the hours at the Dr's offices, when I go there with my parents.
I will be showing the project soon on my blog :)

Pretty pink playhouse :)
I need to put on a coat of paint to our play house...but for some reason the grand kids don't really play in it so we turned it into a garden shed.

That is so gorgeous, it just fires my imagination. How I would love to be a child again, and play there. The daisy's look magnificent!

That is the sweetest thing! You are such a hard worker, I just can't believe all that you get done/made/cooked, etc. I'm hoping reading your blog will rub off on me!

I love the "real" picture of what is there (the flicker one). That is the sweetest little playhouse! Truely darling~

My little girl imagination runs wild looking at your little pink playhouse. Vicki, it's totally charming and reminds me of something I would read in a children's storybook, with all those sweet daisies growing around it.

I love this playhouse! adorable. We are building such a "studio" for my 12 year old this summer. Too old for a playhouse, needs to be called a "studio" :) Can't wait cuz I might spend a bit o time in there myself :) The daisys, oh my!
