tuesday night excitement

Every Tuesday night for the month of March, I've enrolled myself to take a Floral Design class through the Long Beach Parks and Recreation program.
The gal who did the flowers for our wedding, Megan, posted a link of the list of classes on her website, Honey and Poppies, because the teacher just so happens to be her mom!  Of course when I found this out, I signed up for the class immediately.  I love their work and their style of floral design.

This week we made kitchen bouquets complete with kale and an apple! Throughout the year, you can add your own veggies to the mix, like artichokes and pumpkins!

lookie lookie!

Hi again! It's been a while - I know. I haven't posted in anything in many many months, but now I'm working from home on a not-so-secret project (no - we're not having children) with my husband and I'm able to have more computer face-time. I'll be blogging more frequently to keep you all updated on the exciting adventures and projects I'll be coming up with daily. My husband and I have a slight fascination with succulents. It has been raining quite often here in Long Beach but the last few days have really brought out the beauty of spring a couple weeks early. Here are some photos I took of our flowering succulents from our backyard. (PS. I think my husband may have also posted his own photos of this very thing...) Enjoy -

I love the 2 photos above! In some of the pods you can see the flower's nectar pouring out as it opens to flower. I guess that's why they are called "succulents".
