I failed at achieving the objectives--sort of. I did get a backing for the Hop to it Quilt, but the black fabric were just too pretty to pass up. She was cutting the packs up while I had my bolts of fabric set up to get cut out. I knew I had a certain dollar amount to spend - and convinced I could find a sale fabric on line or maybe piece something together with fabric I had at home (You're a quilter, you know the reason we justify buying fabric we have no plan for what so ever!!). I haven't even untied it yet. I just love looking at it for the sake of being beautiful fabric.
Every year I tell myself I'm going to do it. I'm going to plant bulbs. It gets cold early, I get busy with life, I'm generally tired of gardening by this time of the year. I always regret come Springtime when the feet of snow start to melt. This year is different. No procrastination---This packaged came in the mail this week.
It's filled with tulips, buttercups, and allium....pink, yellow, and purple. The tulips are planted in the garden. The fence protects them form the deer. Buttercups have a smell the deer do not like so they are in the porch side perennial bed. The Allium is sprinkled among all of them.
Don't put it off. It's planting season. Come Spring you'll be glad you did.
