Nothing crafty to show (unless you count my recent adventures into container gardening). Mostly I have been busy with summer around here – to do lists, reading a bunch, family visiting, & photography… Although I did take the first out of three classes for my serger. I loved it! I can’t wait to really start using my serger now, I have tons of projects in my head – now I just need the time to make each one :)

I did plant a little container garden on our balcony this last week with the help of my mom (I couldn’t have done it without her!). We had a lovely time picking out flowers & herbs (all on sale since it is the middle of the summer:) and getting each one planted. It was wonderful to have her help since I had never attempted anything similar to gardening before. I just love that we have the space for a little container garden. It is so nice to be able to look out the living room window and see flowers & green.

Thought I would share a few of my favorite photos that I took this week of my new little garden…
