So with all this digging in the dirt from gardening H found a bunch and I mean a bunch... of Red Wiggly Worms. She doesn't mind touching them as they squirm in her fingers. I was surprised she wasn't squealing from disgust. Then I realized she always goes fishing with D and they use worms as bait. Oh, yah... No wonder she wasn't grossing out like I was. I tell her..."Wow, you can collect a whole bunch of worms from the garden and go fishing." Then I remember I've always wanted to compost but thought it was just too much work, not to mention a little gross. So I thought small scale and figured H could make a worm farm. Since she didn't mind handling the worms, she could construct the whole farm herself. And... she has been asking for a new pet. Lolo provided the plastic container, yah recycl! He also helped H assemble the worm farm. They layered paper shreds, worms with kitchen and yard scraps. A whole lotta fun for a whole lot of FREE! I guess a little dirt doesn't hurt.

Mom and Dad McCoy DIY'ed their kitchen. In the process they got rid of a few do-dads. H has always had her eye on this menu chalkboard. Since the little "Chubby Chef" isn't quite our style. I made some slight alterations.
Ta'dah...I sanded the edges and inserted white card stock into the frames. It's proudly hung in our kitchen with some tulle and ribbon.

grrr! It's been one of those days...
I've been trying to publish this post and for one reason or another it has taken all day to do so.
Necklaces have been making me happy lately...

These two are from my fav most wonderful place.
So I thought, like I usually do... DIY...creating and playing with materials...fast forward... This do-dad is twisted denim knotted between some beads and tulle.Last summer I created some bracelets from vintage goodies...linked together...tah'da! pretty necklace from vintage goodies.

Saturday something...

The Anthropologie of recycling...We adopted two pine trees... originally used as Christmas decorations at the nearby Anthropologie store.

These two evergreens will soon be rooted on our property. Thank you to Anthropology and their Adopt a Tree program. It's a GREEN thing...I mean good thing.
