I won from CtrysideCottage Shop and she has the most amazing variety of hand crafted items she makes, She likes mixed media as I do also but I am not much of a sewing machine type until I get my tension fixed on my machine. Oh, I have to get that fixed I have so many ideas in my head.

It was hard for me to choose which Item I wanted to use my gift certificate on but, I finally choose a really cute Bunny Box with Sweet Annie which I am anxious to see as I grew some last summer and dried but have not used it yet on anything. I want to see if what I have its the same thing! I also adore the firecrackers! How cute is this?

Here is the item I chose and I am looking forward to adding it to my front porch table across from where I sit all the time. I love my front porch as you all already know. I spend much of my time there when not roaming the forest!

I Started some seeds for growing Lavender yesterday and later in the night I thought maybe I should have put some clear plastic over the pots which I intended to do this AM but when I thought more about it I said to myself, WHY don;t I use the Pan Lid Covers I have collected to use for something? So, I did!

I had seen a post somewhere about using these pan covers to make some creation I was interested in doing and now I cannot remember what it was. It must have had something to do with a kitchen towel holder or a outdoor hanging, somehow but I just don't remember....

I filled the pots with leaf mulch which I have plenty of living in the forest and some sand I got from a roadside in our neighborhood that had filled a ditch when it rains or the snow melted. I could just scoop it up and I filled a 5 gallon tub with it for future use also, very heavy! It is filled with mica that I love, it just sparkles!

I also used a new bag of some" seed starting potting soil", I want these Lavender Seeds to sprout and grow very Bad! I want to Do It Right!

I can't wait for Lavender to grow this summer and I have another packet to plant that I saved for later. I have some I saved from last summer and left some plants in the ground for the winter to see how they do.

I intended to make sachets with them. Another thing On my To do list! I need my sewing machine fixed, see , I really do.

Thanks for reading and please leave a comment, I Appreciate them so much!
