Finished Pinkeep and gardening

It has taken me a while but I finally finished a pinkeep that I have been working on.
The pattern is by "The Blue Attic", you can find her patterns on etsy. It is a large pinkeep approx.
9"x9". She has an entire series of cross stitch patterns with a "Little House on the Prairie" theme.
I just loved this pattern.
 I also planted some flowers and this year my husband, my son and I are going to try gardening.
We have planted lettuce, radishes, onions, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes and green beans.
I am so excited about our garden to have fresh vegetables. If it does well I am going to even
try my hand at home canning. I am a practical person and like useful things for gifts, my
husband asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and I said a pressure canner, I just
hope I am able to use it enough to pay for it. he he
I also want to share a photo of our May Christmas gift from Cole and Riley.
 Hope everyone is having a beautiful Spring!!!

Love your stitching Lecia - so pretty! I can't wait to get our garden planted...but that won't be for a couple weeks yet...there may even be frost tonight. I had to bring my potted plants inside this afternoon, so they won't freeze tonight...hard to believe it was 89 late last week!
Hugs - I'll be writing you an email soon. <3
