Swamped

I guess that being busy is a good thing. There's hats (STILL DIDN'T FINISH), social media stuff, team stuff, monster stuff, shop photographing & listing stuff, garden stuff, family stuff, and craft show stuff getting its groove on over at Knot By Gran'ma.

I made my own aphid spray the other day. The aphids have attacked my petunias. Stinkers. All I did was steep about 2 cups of tomato plant leaves (Part of the nightshade family... apparently a bit poisonous to bugs!) in 4 cups of water over night. I strained out the leaves, and poured the tea into a spray bottle. Aphids beware!

Did I mention, I scored some buttons the other day at the flea market. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a jar full of buttons for sale.

  1. I've been feeling overwhelmed with the above for quite some months now, so I totally can relate. But if you try to take things one at a time they will roll out nicely :D

  3. Good luck with your aphid deterrent! They are stinkers! And I am quite jealous of your button find! ;-)
