Sewing and Gardening

I found a great tutorial for turning old Tshirts into reusable bags and since I cleaned out my closet and had a few owly shirts that I couldn't throw away but have shrunk and miscellaneous stains. 

I have managed to plant a few things.  2 mixed species hanging baskets.  And they're doing much better than the ones last year.  Those ended up being just one plant  It looks like this years are all hanging in there (harharhar).

I also planted some tomatoes, strawberries and various herbs.  I still really want to plant a raised bed but we need to build it first.

And because I'm late, I present 2 photos!

I have named her Lady Turtleton.  The hubs found her while mowing the backyard.  Luckily the mower didn't hurt her at all. 

She's living happily somewhere in the lush greenery (ie. overgrown weeds, vines, privit) that makes up our backyard boundaries.  I hope she eats lots of bugs back there.....
