Tonight I finished washing all of the remaining onions from my garden.  After taking a bag to some family over the weekend and picking onions all summer from the garden, it was time to pull the rest out.
this was our first time planting onions and we ended planting them too close together so they only grew to a certain point before they got too squished. :)
Aren't they pretty?  They are waiting on my counter for me to cut them up and freeze them- I just need to make sure my eyes can handle it.

I am not a plant person.  In fact, I'm surprised our garden has survived as it has.  But, this summer I bought some succulent plants to plant inside. The best thing about them is that you don't have to be a good waterer.

When we were in California this summer, we visited Sherman Gardens. My favorite part was the succulents growing underneath the stairs. I think it would be so cool to do that some day.  just like all the cool vertical garden pictures that I've seen. (Like this one:)

This is what my bed looks like when the husband is gone- pillows on every side.

The pillows may be softer, but I much prefer having his arm around me. One week of being gone is enough for me, I admire those who do it for longer lengths of time.

I'm dirt poor right now, but I still love cute things. Since I am trying to do a better job of budgeting and saving. I decided to make a list for myself of the fabric I want (at least for now). And, since it's pretty- pictures on the blog are fun. (links to the entire line in case you are a fabric collector like me)

Bella by Lotta Jansdotter- can't wait for it to come out and I might just have it on pre-order :)
