En meinannut kirjoittaa tanaan mutta nopeasti nyt sitten. Yksi syy miksi viikonloppu oli niin kiva on etta sain Siennan huoneen vihdoinkin taysin valmiiksi. No, viela pitaa laittaa valokuvia kehyksiin (mutta kehykset on jo seinilla oikeissa paikoissa) ja ostaa uusi paallinen rocking glider tuoliin, mutta muuten huone nayttaa tosi kivalta nyt. Laitan kuvia jossain vaiheessa. Nyt ihan havettaa etten ollut laittanut kunnon verhoja Siennan huoneeseen viela. Voi mua! Joskus osaan olla tosi saamaton.
Jay rakensi vaatekaappia kellarikerroksen extra huoneeseen. Puolivalmis huone jo.
No, jotenkin kiva viikonloppu. Ehka kun vihdoinkin mulla oli energiaa kunnon siivoamiseen ja jarkkailyyn. Paikat alkaa vahitelleen kunnostautua taas. Jospa nyt muutkin projektit alkaa saamaan vauhtia.

{me lovey flowers}

***

Yesterday I enjoyed this at lunchtime. Gotta love Veseys catalogs. Especially when it's still snowing outside.

***

***
Of course I have to share with you all which flowers I liked the best. *roll eyes*

For some reason, this time I kept admiring the simple coneflowers. They remind me of sunflowers but they're smaller in size. These should actually be lime green in color (this photo doesn't do any justice).

Knee High Coneflowers
Daisy-like. Simple. I like them.
***
***
Anemone 'leveilei'
Cute.
***
***
Green Envy Coneflowers
For some reason, this year I kept being drawn to all the green flowers. Mind you, they had a really nice hot pink variety too. But I couldn't share 100 pictures so I had to do some limiting, right. :)

Pink Lily of the Valley
Ihania! So cute! I love lily of the valleys! White ones grow wild in Finland. These are such fragrant flowers. They do spread like crazy though so plant them in a pot if you don't want them all over the place.
***

***
I have always admired these trees. It would be nice to bring some of the branches in the house in the winter and force them to flower in water. Early spring. Me lovey!
***

***
Purple Ranunculus
Fun, deep color.
***

***
These Hostas are fun with the bluish leaves. These would be nice on the side of our house.
***

***
I'm not into Lilies but I love this dark, dark color. I tried to grow black pansies from seeds once but they never turned out. That's so typically "me". :(
***

***
Calla Lilies are always elegant.
***

***
Grasses are hip right now. I like this Golden Japanese Forest Grass variety.
***
So, go to www.veseys.com for your own catalog (USA & Canada only). Eye candy for those of us who are only dreaming of spring right now.
I wish I had a green thumb. But I don't. I don't even have enough patience to do a lot of gardening. But a girl can dream, right?

What are your favorite flowers?

And who wants to come and garden for me? No salary but I'll make you lunch each day. :D

ps. I actually enjoyed the Twilight movie better second time around. I wasn't expecting too much this time and was able to just enjoy it. Books of course are always 100 times better than movies.

{australia & twilight}

***

Much to tell, much to tell (it's been a good couple of days) but time for just couple of quick things. We watched this movie on Friday and loved it. I totally recommend it. I wish I could bring the cute little aboriginal boy home to me.

***

***
Tonight we'll be watching this as Jay surprised me with this dvd gift set. The dvd was just released today!

***

***
The set includes the dvd, a collector box (on the left) and some movie pictures. It'll be fun to collect any Twilight pictures into the box. Yes, I printed a few favorites as a memento. I feel like a teenager but it's all good. :)
It still sucks that they didn't do a better job with this movie (it lacks some major special effects to make the vampire stuff more cool & powerful). I'll still enjoy it - all the laughs too. It's not supposed to be a funny movie but some parts really are quite ridiculous. But like I said - I'll enjoy it. ;)
But I tell you - they'd better do a better job with the part two, New Moon. I'm hoping. New director. And I'm sure they have a bigger budget this time as they know this thing is HUGE. If you haven't got caught up in the Twilight phenomena yet - HURRY UP! :D

Guess who's going to spend a day with Heidi Swapp in April?!!

I registered today for a full day Heidi Swapp scrapbooking event. Right here in Edmonton. I don't do stuff like this very often so I'm excited! :)

I've been looking for a new purse and this one's kinda cute. I could choose my own fabric and everything. The problem - would I actually have the patience to make one.
