it was a good weekend. the marriage conference was fun and edifying, though a little long. barely celebrated National Scrapbooking Day (i spent all of $23 in joann's scrapbooking aisle - that's the extent) on saturday, and a i'm little disappointed that i didn't have more time to shop.
but we did accomplish quite alot. spent some time working on the backyard yesterday, cleaning up miscellaneous stuff that gathered over the last three years, and getting rid of the last of the brush from last fall's cleanup.
we decided to build a picnic table with freestanding benches instead of buying a patio set. it'll be cheaper, and we'll have more control over how many people we can sit. i'm still going totally-martha and making one long cushion for each bench, a coordinating tablecloth, and while i'm at it, a few "floor pillows".
found my fabric for the patio project at joann's on saturday, and i think i found my dishes at target, providing i can talk matt into them. (who knew a guy would have such an opinion about tableware!) and a super-cute craft project to add to the atmosphere: candleholder chandeliers.
some more tulip photos? i know you're just on the edge of your seats for these.
loving this one, for it's uniqueness:
and this one - it's frameable. gorgeous. good color. nice, sharp detail. i can't stop staring at it:
and this one. nothing special. i love purple, and i love lilacs. last night, i raided the blooms from the lilac tree in my neighbor's yard that spills over into our yard. that's legal right? i mean, possession is nine-tenths of the law, and those things were definitely on my land. or at least hanging over it. and my living room smells great.
one day, when i grow up, i will buy a macro lense and take lots of big photos of those tiny little flowers. yum.
happy monday!
