These are our first little snap peas in the garden! I am so excited! Snap peas are my favorite! 
There is also still a lack of serious knitting. I have, however, found some fabric in my stash that will make another pretty Spring Ruffle Top. So, when all is said and done, I should have three!
I’m off to go lay in bed and read some Naruto manga!
Robyn and I finished our LiL Veggie Garden this week. It's on the south side of the house, where the sun is always shining and there are no doggies! We've even added a few more plants, after I took this picture.
Already planted:
* Sweet Peas
* Cucumber
* 2 Cherry Tomatos
* Mr Stripey Tomato -- cuz they look cool!
* Chili Peppers
* Watermelon
* Lemon Basil
* 3 Marigolds -- to keep the buggies away
Still to be planted (in the baby-greenhouse, sprouting from seeds right now):
* Carrots
* Lettuce
We are so excited! So is my Papa. he likes that he can play in our garden without having to bother the doggies.
Pattern: Chemo Cap, by Kaity Von Rader (rav link)
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft Brites
Needles: US7 + US9
I started and finished this project within a couple of hours. It was perfect Easter knitting in front of the DVR.
It turned out to be a very cute spring chemo cap! I am so happy with it! I used Caron Simply Soft so it would breathe, yet protect Stephanie's head from the sun. I hope she likes it. Robyn, the person that requested it does.

I worked a little on our Lil Vegi Garden tonight. It now has border bricks and some picket fencing, per Robyn's request. I've tilled, added good dirt and tilled some more. All I need is one more big bag of good dirt, then we can start planting the veggies!
My sweet husband received this Guinness beer bucket from his mother for his birthday. Being the mean, evil wife that I am, (with the idea from Robyn) I swiped it and punched a couple of holes in the bottom for water to drain. After a trip to Walmart, I planted some pretty-pretty impatients. My house has gotten a lot prettier and greener since Robyn & Ray moved in!

Did I mention that I have set up my own hub domain? http://www.BigPikaChica.com Be sure to bookmark it! You can access my Flickr, Facebook, Swap-Bot, and blog from there! Plus, I can update it with anything else that I want to add. Oh! I've also created a pattern page with links to all of my knitting patterns!
I already have tomatoes growing! YAYz! I can't wait for them to turn red so I can eat them!! I wish the other three plant would make some, too!
So I bought two more pairs of Converse sneakers last week. The pink and black ones were only $20 at Marshalls. I couldn't resist. I think these are my favorite pair!! Cooter thinks I am a little crazy, can't you tell?
I also have been playing in the dirt some more!! I bought some Margarita Sweet Potato Vines to plant in my cinder-block wall. I had placed some pavers on top to make it a solid wall, but I switched around the pavers and the top row of blocks to make them into planters. I can't wait to see it cascading down the little block wall!!
Lastly, I finally acquired a human-powered lawn mower. Just another way for me to get some exercise and reduce lawn mower emissions, thus reducing my footprint a little bit more. I really like how this thing cuts. It has a little trouble with some of the softer weeds, but I just yank them up if they aren't cut. Whats better is that it doesn't make the loud noise that a gas mower makes. I can actually listen to my iPod
while I cut the grass!
Thumbs, that is!!
Well... My grandfather has this garden at our lake house that grows the best veggies! All summer, we have tomatoes that are like apples. They are the meatiest tomatoes I have every eaten. After a long day of playing on the water, I like to go up there and pick one and eat it right off the plant. YUM!
