There were a lot of seeds so I put extra in the bigger pot. The seeds in the bigger pot are beginning to sprout... but I don't know whats wrong with the mini pot... I think I might have drowned them, but its weird because the little pot has the soil it came with and the big pot has extra soil I had lying around.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdorhEVQXE6vzzByjdKvDIsrVCROFnF5Bbhc5WsmzWdoHUVVYuvUhoL38iypI8S1fdnhWLX4if3uKKQS1Ka5k0PI0fH0nnrX-KVrfpK2yjyfCxXHCLJbs_K_rv7scOac4NZGRjduFass/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizdorhEVQXE6vzzByjdKvDIsrVCROFnF5Bbhc5WsmzWdoHUVVYuvUhoL38iypI8S1fdnhWLX4if3uKKQS1Ka5k0PI0fH0nnrX-KVrfpK2yjyfCxXHCLJbs_K_rv7scOac4NZGRjduFass/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJNDcweypas0hyxdOIt42KIs7tUT5dKFcYcmrEdf62DKNpbyj4pdU_2mYs24XPRIFOmgl25P3YnXqercTr17X-F_fTcbNkrd6FQgMKJ17vwPZKFCO0c_qn1m-1bjea36pBsk9axe1SEYs/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJNDcweypas0hyxdOIt42KIs7tUT5dKFcYcmrEdf62DKNpbyj4pdU_2mYs24XPRIFOmgl25P3YnXqercTr17X-F_fTcbNkrd6FQgMKJ17vwPZKFCO0c_qn1m-1bjea36pBsk9axe1SEYs/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Carliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08933014230096949567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299355891881884604.post-68856456577031047762011-04-13T06:53:00.000-07:002011-04-13T06:54:49.142-07:00easter bunny smores<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQaRlRO4vxX2tmp8W5GjqBc-W4bGBf6rsP95DRCdjsZpciVihtaa53cdrpvYdLHk9IoiJQOng5tVV9SlBFqcQOyUWA-k3mc7cNw9HLxc94zhUJjK5ZK-vLaDahxVajZ186JY-9VOOteQg/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQaRlRO4vxX2tmp8W5GjqBc-W4bGBf6rsP95DRCdjsZpciVihtaa53cdrpvYdLHk9IoiJQOng5tVV9SlBFqcQOyUWA-k3mc7cNw9HLxc94zhUJjK5ZK-vLaDahxVajZ186JY-9VOOteQg/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

They have marshmallow peeps, crushed up graham crackers and m&m chocolate eggs. Add a tag that gives the cooking directions: <br />
1. Empty contents into a bowl, snip the bunnies into bits with the kitchen sheers or cup up with a knife, return bunny bits to mixture, mix well. <br />
2. Melt half a cup for butter, add 1 tsp. vanilla, pour this over the dry ingredients, mixing well. <br />
3. Pat into a greased 9" square pan, bake at 350 for 15 minutes. cool and cut into bars. enjoy!Carliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08933014230096949567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299355891881884604.post-39693432182442227812011-04-09T15:07:00.000-07:002011-04-09T15:07:15.502-07:00spring themed serving trays<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Rshyphenhyphen9y25Sj9D1zTiHxGN2svBKE_gpbyt2Zz69z7B_TztXioulqiPasRdC9wJgUF0M0lJnOEAjzGPtbHkUOgYzmMbZRWtqFywfqWEm1oTZe80I1k47Ktzutx4vrbkcU-voEWvXto-zj4/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Rshyphenhyphen9y25Sj9D1zTiHxGN2svBKE_gpbyt2Zz69z7B_TztXioulqiPasRdC9wJgUF0M0lJnOEAjzGPtbHkUOgYzmMbZRWtqFywfqWEm1oTZe80I1k47Ktzutx4vrbkcU-voEWvXto-zj4/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Here are my last two serving trays that I finally finished!

I have already bought some frames from my local thrift store (they have some pretty cool designs in them) and I have begun sanding them down. I couldn't help myself at the store and bought 4 frames because I loved them all...I forgot how much sanding that would be for me! Here is how far I have gotten: about half way through sanding. I had to stop because my sand paper became too dull and i needed more. I hope to have them all sanded and cleaned up by the end of the weekend. Then I can paint them cool colours! The big one didn't come with glass underneath so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about that...Carliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08933014230096949567noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299355891881884604.post-43326733570202950432011-03-31T20:16:00.000-07:002011-03-31T20:16:05.690-07:00My Garden ShelfLiving in a very small one bedroom apartment, not to mention living on the second floor, I have little room for my "garden".

This was the first scarf I have ever completed! It took me a few weeks to do. I used 6.5 mm bamboo needles, but I couldn't tell ya what kind of yarn I used because I threw out the packaging - sorry! You'll notice it looks pretty long, but thats the way I like it so I can wrap it around my neck a few times.
