I’ve become a lazy blogger — too preoccupied with my gardening, I think, to do much more than contemplate posting. However, I’ve some stuff to share in point form:

I’ve been an incredibly crappy blogger lately. No good excuses other than “It’s Spring! Yay!”, “I’m gardening! Yay!” and “I have a desperate compulsion to design and sew dresses for little girls, despite having none of my own! Yay?”
Spring is awesome. I feel myself coming slowly back to life after the creative stasis of Winter. This means I’ve a list of projects longer than my arm and, quite honestly, not nearly the required time to see them to completion. I’m currently (finally?) installing the recycled patio-stone walkway in my front yard — the one I’ve been thinking and talking about since I did a big part of the one in the back yard. It’s coming along nicely, but is only a couple feet long. I need to find some more patio stones to smash up for it. If anyone has some they’d like to get rid of, let me know — I’m happy to come and get them with my van!

I resort to lists too often. Today is my first day in the house by myself for the full day, as DH started his new job this past Friday (and #2 is half days on Monday and I work on Tuesdays). I made a big list and only have one significant entry left to accomplish. Yay me! Yay lists!
Still, there are always more brief disjointed comments I can jot down about what’s going on with me:

A little list of things currently making me smile:
- Free books — I just “won” my first two books through LibraryThing and am eagerly anticipating their arrival. I’m also having a great deal of fun randomly adding to my library from books that I own and books that I’ve read — it’s a pretty scattered combination at this point of library books borrowed and read, and stuff I actually own. When I tire of trolling the groups and people’s libraries, I review a couple of the things I’ve listed in my own. It’s fun and essentially no-pressure. I’m finding myself thinking about the fun I could have with a CueCat.
- Indian food — made two really yummy new-to-me recipes last night and had leftovers for lunch. So. Much. Yum.
- Miniatures — I used to collect them as a child, and made some too. I was poking around Etsy and found some things that lead me on a four hour trip down memory lane, reading some of my miniature design books and (kind of seriously) thinking about constructing a miniature building of some sort. I think I’d have a lot of fun with a miniature cake shop. Or green grocer.
