What I have been up to - Week 21

This week was my turn to be on-call for work, as usual this mean little sleep and a lot of stress. More doctors appointments, more stress. One saving grace was my postage stamp front yard showing its best colors for spring. This year, I added a few more perennials (pincushions, plox, sulfur cosmos that will bloom throughout the summer season, unlike the lilies, irises and daylilies that will show their splendor only for a few weeks a year.

The hubby and I have been busy clearing up all the leftover mess from rebuilding our deck. The back patio is ready for us to enjoy some nice weather. After such a rainy week, the sunshine this weekend felt wonderful. 

It was also a week of celebration, 500+ readers that take the time to follow my ramblings. Thank you. Five for 500 started with those four giveaways:

- the book "Small Stash Sewing"  and a sewing kit HERE (ends May 23rd)

- a pattern from Craftaholic Anonymous'  Etsy store HERE  (ends May 24th)

- a bracelet and matching earrings from Kitty Cats and Airplanes HERE (ends May 25th)

- a $25 store credit to Flamingo Toes' Etsy store HERE (ends May 26th)

The 5th giveaway will be published tomorrow :) if you are wondering about the weird schedule... it's because we will be out of town next weekend.

The crafting highlights of the week : Amie and I had another crafty play date (more to come on that soon) and I  finished another Layla handbag, this one for my little sister, in her favorite colors.

  

Funny how we get along so great and still have such different tastes ...

  

I almost forgot ... more flowers 

Five for 500 - Flamingo Toes giveaway

Do you know Beverly, the lovely lady behind Flamingo Toes? 

   

She is such an open hearted and sweet person! I love her sense of humor and her beautiful and inventive home decoration ideas.

   

And as you may know, she is also the queen of Anthro jewelry knock-offs. I'd love to have them all (and it would be such a dilemma to pick one to wear each and everyday) but my favorites are probably the two below : the Pernilla and the Limitless Strands necklaces

 

Guess what? Beverly offered a $25 credit for her Etsy store that will go to one of my lucky readers!!
