Baby Gift a Success, Home Improvement in Process

I've been too busy to put out an update, though I've been working away on many projects. The collection of personalized onsies and t-shirts were a big hit with our friends.

In addition to baby gifts I've been doing some redecorating at home. Buying new pillows for the couch, to go with our new loveseat. Fabric to recover the dining room chairs. New blinds for the living room--where the old ones fell down. Scraping and repainting the bathroom, whitening the tile grout... it's been a grueling few weeks of home improvement and repair, but we're getting there.

Photos to follow soon...

My potted, balcony garden is thriving; all but my hybiscus. I think she's punishing me for keeping her indoors over the winter. Slowly, her leaves are coming back, but it's been a long road to recovery, from the mealy bugs, from being indoors without enough sunlight... I don't know if she'll make it through another winter.

All three of my star impatients died. Fungus, I think. I didn't catch it in time.

More news when there's more to say...
