Spring is in the Air

February 26, 2009

It’s beginning to feel a lot like spring around here. I’ve dusted off my sewing machine and made an outfit for K. It definitely had a spring feel to it. I made a skort from the pink and white floral fabric. Skorts are still cute when you’re 5. She picked it out herself and I appliqued a bird on the shirt. I didn’t make the shirt, they are just too cheap and easy to pick up and make cute. I was really happy with the way the bird turned out. I think she will get a lot of use out of this outfit this summer. I had her try it on and model it for me this afternoon. She’s such a silly model!

Then later this afternoon, I got my strawberry plants planted. We will probably have a few more nights of below freezing temps, so I will cover them then. I’m excited that I have them in the ground though. I ended up putting them in our front flower bed. I hope they do well. They already have flowers and little strawberries on them! I will have to take them off though and let the little plants thrive for a bit before producing fruit. This will be our first year growing strawberries. I’ve only grown tomatoes and peppers before. We love strawberries though and I have about 25 plants out there. I hope it’s enough!
