Herb Garden: Mint & Parsley

One of the reasons that we wanted to own our own home was to be able to have a garden.  Growing up we always had both a vegetable garden and an herb garden. And while the big vegetable garden for our backyard is still in the planning stages, we've been able to get the first part of the herb garden started.

Seeds planted the last week of May: Parsley & Spearmint

Getting Curtains Started

It's been another busy week here at the house with lots of work to be done and jobs besides. 

We bought fabric for curtains a couple of weeks ago when it was convenient for my husband to meet me at the fabric store I work at to pick something out.  We ended up with:

• plain, white broadcloth for sheers
• purple & white chevron fabric for the bathroom (see previous post)
• green/blue/etc fabric for the office (see previous post)
• blackout fabric for the bedroom
• fabric for the bedroom curtains (which you will have to wait to see)
• and this for the main rooms:

Back to Blogging

To say that the last month has been busy, to say it has been physically exhausting would be a gross understatement. But it has also been one of the most wonderful months in a long time.

Secret Project 2013

For most of you this will be a surprise. We've been trying to keep the lid on it just in case things didn't work out, and as such didn't tell everyone.

The posts here on Smoldering Wick Designs have been few and far-between since January, but there has been a good reason.  All of my energy has been going toward one thing...

No CISPA

I know this is not my normal stuff, but today I'm reblogging this straight from Thinksquad because it's just that important. (I actually found this through Moustaches Optional) I don't have a tumblr so I'm blogging it here. That makes me weird and 'old' internet-wise, but the idea is to get the word out there.

Prom 2013

Amid the chaos this year we had the opportunity to go to an event with friends this weekend.  One of the local radio stations holds an adult prom every year.  

I didn't go to prom in highschool, and I didn't go to any formal dances in college. In fact, the only fancy events I ever go to are weddings. And while that's fun, I guess I always wished I had that experience, the prom experience.

Blog List Updated

Just a quick post to let you know I've updated the list of blogs that I follow for those of you that find that interesting or helpful. I noticed that page was getting a lot of hits lately & that I hadn't updated it since last June so hopefully it is more helpful now.

Have a great day!
