Howdy!
Wow! I caught Spring Fever! It was so cold when last weekend started I never thought I would get the bug so soon. But Saturday morning I was out there preparing beds in a bluster of wind, then Sunday I found myself out doing beds again. It was SO fun I decided to do it again after homeschool on Monday. My poor computer was the victim of all this activity. It did not see much of me those days. Yesterday I decided I neglected the bathroom remodel long enough, so again my computer didn’t see my face until late, but then it was designing my new kit with a vengence. I really think sometimes it takes some real hard work to find artistic inspiration. ( especially outdoors) I must have needed just that, because this new kit is really coming together now.
This is where I would spill the beans about what I am up to, but I think I will try to control myself a LITtle longer. Don’t want to ruin the surprise! *GRIN* I will give you a second hint instead… Appleseed.
The first hint was “Stinky Bathrooms” for those joining us late.
I am beginning to understand how designers get too much stuff made for a kit. I am making way too much of everything, but I don’t FEEL done yet. You know what I mean? I expect I will get to a point when the kit feels finished. Then I will stop. Still new at this you know? * Big Smile*
Look for a little freebie to show up in advance of the whole kit coming out.
Leaving you with a photo Dillon and Nathan took this weekend in the garden. Interesting composition. One onerey beetle.
