Getting Ready to Garden!
Here in Chicago we’re starting to pull things together for the much anticipated gardening seaseon (is it spring yet?), including taking stock of our gardening “stuff”.

It didn’t take me long to find a bunch of awesome tutorials and projects – and here are my favorites!
Sew an Apron to Show Your Graditude
This year the day right before Thanksgiving is National Tie One On Day. Give an apron (or wrap an apron around a homemade baked gift) and pass it along to someone in need as a way to give thanks. We’re celebrating by sharing one of our favorite apron projects, the one yard “no-waste” apron.
