Hey Amy!

Spring!  Spring!  Spring!

Spring has definitely arrived this weekend in Southern California.  The signs are all there–gorgeous weather, flowers blooming and a hummingbird nest in the back yard!  While out shopping, I stumbled onto a motherload of hyacinths, smelling them before viewing them.  I couldn’t resist and brought home a gorgeous purple one.  I spent the afternoon seeking a pot in which to replant it and every one I found was better suited for outside.  I wanted to keep this delicious fragrance inside so I was stuck.  Then I figured maybe I could redesign the plastic green one it came in?  I grabbed the best tool ever–the glue gun– and a roll of fabric ribbon and got to work.  I cut three pieces of bright yellow sheer ribbon that would wrap the circumference of the pot and glued them onto the pot one at a time, slightly overlapping to give an additional pattern to the already patterned ribbon.  The dark green of the pot muted the brightness of the yellow ribbon just perfectly.  The entire process took me just over 5 minutes and now I have a custom made pot that looks darling in the room from which the hyacinth fragrance is now wafting.  Happy Spring!
