Burn Baby Burn

Alright, I think I'm past the weird funk I was in for the month of February. And from what I've heard...I wasn't the only one. Here's hoping for a fresh start with March. Just gotta get past this white stuff and wait for the spring flowers to spring forth. Can't wait! (although I DO know the importance of water.)

So today I decided to get a bit of "yard work" done. I've been battling crab grass for as long as we've been in this house. I HATE IT! It's ugly, poky, and hard to get rid of. Every year, it "dies". Or at least the grass above ground does and makes for dead stuff that is hard to get rid of when the new sprouts. I'm not into power raking, but I AM into fire! It's quicker than raking and more fun! I just stink like a fire pit when it's over. SO...that is what I did for my "yard work". I torched the back yard!

Isn't it ugly? The new grass has to come up through this junk just to make an appearance.

I was surprised that I allowed it to burn as much as I did. But I know that after this "rain/snow" storm, spring growth will be ready to burst. SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT!

I decided to do it in two sections. That which was not burned today will be burned another day. I promised Ashton I would wait to burn it so he can witness it.

You're next baby!!! It's going to be AWESOME!

Point of reference

For you mah sista!

Fondant

Beginning of a beeUteaFUL cake for Kael.

I LOVE square cakes, so I had to buy a pan just for my own enjoyment.

Happy little helper.

This stuff is HARD to roll out!

I actually got it on by myself without tearing it. (it's actually quite durable. In a sensitive sort of way.)

Just incase you don't see it...It says "Mykael will wash the dishes for a week straight."

Chirp! Chirp!

It's just now starting...

....To look like what it's supposed to look like. And I'm starting to get excited for how it's turning out. I've spent many hours on it lately.

Can you tell?
********************************************
And I've finished a project (IN ONE DAY!) for the love season.

Just a door hanger deco. And I LOVE how it turned out!

Cute stuff!
What have you been working on lately?

Enchanted?

I'm thinking this particular vase may be enchanted. (Or perhaps a personal message.) Weird things happen when flowers are placed in it. Not complaining because it has been somewhat entertaining to see what goes on.
 I got these roses for my anniversary on Jan 4. They were gorgeous! Each one was perfect and held it's shape as it slowly died. Not one sagged.

But then, THIS happened! They started to sprout. And even as I write this, they are still on my table, growing strong. Sprouts are bigger. Stems are a good healthy green. The flowers... Still dead. I've used this irony on a personal basis. Giving me the perception of something that is supposedly dead or dying and no chance of revival in it's future. But was proved once again by something so simplistic that there IS a higher power that is in control at all times and ALL things ARE possible. NO matter how the dire circumstances. Lesson learned.

*I was asked if I thought they would grow flowers. No, I don't think so. They need pollinating for that. If they'll just grow roots, I'll stick 'em in the ground outside and should get buds in a year. HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!?!?!

2nd time around

 Birthday #29 for the 2nd time. And it was awesome. I didn't even do anything out of the norm, other than a short ward party at night. And it was still good.

My unattended birthday cake. It was loved before I could love it. I actually had two cakes. The other (Angel Food) looked just as good as this one. "Loved".

Sporting my new feather headband. LOVE IT! Oh, and that guy too.

I definitely had nothing to worry about when it came to blowing those three candles out. There was a rather large wind current when it came time to blowing them out.
