Carla Carla quite contrary...

Meh, doesn't have the same ring to it.
Hello lovely readers! How are you? I'm still in the planning stages of blog giveaways and other things (mostly school, and making costumes). It's my Spring Break, so I've decided to beautify things during my week of freedom.
One of the things I've been planning to beautify, and I'm finally getting to is the old rose bed in front of our house.

My grandparents cleaned it out a bit, but I've been in there cleaning out piles of dead grass, screeching at spiders and pincher bugs, and whining at my grandpa to help get the entangled mass of grass out of the rose bushes I want to keep.

I'm planning to turn it to a pretty flower bed to bring a bit of color to the front of our house.



I might use all of these. I might not due to spacing. But here is what you could see me 'Ooo-ing' and 'Ahh-ing' over in the next few weeks. I really want to see the Narcissus growing. :)

And because I couldn't find my old gardening gloves, I bought a new pair.



They've got hedgehogs! Aren't these the most adorable gardening gloves you've ever seen? I had to buy a children's pair, because the womens gloves fit me weird, and the mens gloves enveloped my hands to where it was quite comical.

Are any of you plotting to garden this spring? Or do you already have an established garden?

I'll be up at a friends for a couple days, and if I remember, I'll maybe make a blog post while up there. :3

Spring Break has started.
I'll try to update this thing as much as I can.
Oh look, my blog-iversary is looming near. I'm planning a giveaway for it, but... Hmm. Ok I'll try to do a give away for it. Or after it. Hell I'll have a give away.

....So anyone who's done a successful blog giveaway wanna help me out? xD;

Where are they now?

Whatever happened to your __________?
Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity.


Hmm. Well I suppose we can talk about Hoot.
But there isn't much to talk about! After I finished him, I told my fellow owl loving friend about the adorable test-knit. She was starting her semester at Law school, and needed a lot of motivation and such. On our trip to the zoo, I presented him to her, and she happily flailed and squee'd about.
Then we both forgot we shoved him back in my purse. Oops.
But Hoot went to live with her, and he'll rotate from her bookshelf, to on her desk next to big heavy law books.

I think I'll make another one for my other owl loving friend. :3


Take Care and Happy Crafting.

PS- If you'd like to make a little Borneo owl, you can buy the pattern here. (Ravelry link) Borneo, a knit owl.

PPS- I'll have my entry for April 1st up either later this evening, or early on the 2nd.
