Designer peat pots, stitcheries, knitting, and quilting....but the activity I most want to engage in is gardening...the one thing I really can't pursue now.

I am a listmaker...always have been, always will be. Problem is, I make lists and don't fulfill them. There are so many things I'd like to accomplish this year...projects, crafty things, reading and writing. I just have to start...
