A few new things

We have been "updating" things around the house recently.
We had a patio put in and some landscaping done for Wynne's birthday. We are enjoying it SO much - we're out there almost every single day.
You'd think Houston would be too hot, but it is really nice in the late afternoon/early evening (that said, it IS still early June!).

I'm including a before picture, since while we waited for the landscape guys, we did nothing to the yard (except spray it w/ poison to kill it all).

The green stuff you see is all a hardy mixture of weeds:


The guys pouring what would soon be our patio!



Our new grass and flower bed with a crepe myrtle:



Eliot, enjoying the cool water:


I made Eliot little curtains (24" squares) to match her crib bedding.

I love that I was able to use the pink and brown herringbone twill tape I've been saving since before she was born for "some project" for her room!!





I'd been waiting to do something creative with the sweater that I was wearing when Wynne proposed and finally got a pattern for a kitty plushie:



Eliot and I made a card for Dad at the Farmer's Market (for free!!)...I think he will absolutely love it. And, just in case you're wondering, no, Wynne won't see this before Father's Day! :)
