Spring Beginnings

This is the start of a new project. I am going to attempt to spend the next year or so making things for myself and family instead of buying them . This applies to food, clothing, gifts. Basically anything that I could actually make. I sort of already do this. I knit and am learning to sew...although the clothing will be a new experience. I don't really buy much processed food, but I'm really going to make an effort to stop buying it all together. If I need a cake...I will make it from scratch, if I need a new skirt...I will buy the fabric and sew it. We will be starting a vegetable garden here very soon and I am excited.
You may have noticed that I changed the name of the blog to PoeMade. I think its clever...it sounds a bit like the word "homemade" and sums up what I'm trying to do.

Today's project was painting the new greenhouse/shed and planter box. I picked up some green paint from home depot called Asparagus, a good name for a garden paint color. I had already painted the sides of the shed white, this was going to be the trim color. The greenhouse will soon be home to some seedlings once it warms up a bit.

The planter box is for spinach. We are planning to build another for lettuce.
Thanks for reading and joining me again as I attempt this whole blog thing for the 4th time I think....but who's counting? I am looking forward to the new things I'll be trying and documenting here this year. Here we go!
