Creating a raised garden bed

Want to create your own garden box? Here is a link to a user friendly/step-by-step guide for making one. We built mine out of cedar, and made it 8 ft by 4ft without a bottom. It cost us $40 in lumber, and gave me plenty of room for a start up garden. Can't wait to hear how yours turn out!

May Day

The months really are flying by! Tomorrow is the first of May, also known as May Day! May Day is celebrated in different traditions all around the world, including International Labours Day. Here at the Baxter house, we are choosing the old fashioned, floral approach, and invite you to do the same! Chose two people, preferably neighbors. Pick flowers out of your garden, or pick up a few from the store. Tie the bouquet with a simple ribbon and a note saying "Happy May Day" and leave them on your neighbor's front porch. You don't know your neighbors? That's an even better reason to chose them! If you have children, they will love picking the flowers, and learn how fun it is to give.

Why Hello!

Blog #1, here I go! Every morning I wake up with the same question... what can I make today? Whether it's paper crafting, sewing, baking, cooking, gardening or painting. I love projects! I can't even count the number of ideas that have been run past my husband, Adam, before going to bed in our four years of marriage. Everything seems to spark another direction that I want to take my life... so here is my shot at it! My plan is to share these projects with anyone who choses to read, and hopefully, together, we can wake a little creative juices in all of us!
Thanks for joining,
