For the past few years I’ve kept a seed starting journal, mostly just quickly thrown together spreadsheets and calendar pages. This year I created something with more intention, designed to gather useful information to help my garden improve every year. No more guessing which cucumber variety I loved!
The Journal Kit Includes
2023 Cover Page, Vegetable Seed Journal Page, Flower Seed Journal Page, Calendar Pages for Feb, March, April & May, Additional Blank Calendar Page (if you’d like to keep tracking), and a Garden Notes Page
Print off as many of each as you need!
Make sure to follow me on Instagram to see how I’ll be using mine this season.

I’ve always loved classic rock and roll. There’s something about a little Marshall Tucker Band or some Steely Dan that’s just good for the soul. But lately my Pandora station is set to Toddler Dance Radio more often than The Eagles and I listen to a lot more “Head, Knees and Toes” than I do Boston hits. But yesterday my sister stopped by and reminded me of a little Earth, Wind and Fire. The lyrics to “September” are as much poetry as anything written by Longfellow, and defintely worth a little space on my wall as some seasonal decor. You can download an 8 x 10 printable page here.

I am so excited to share this tutorial today! Christmas is right around the corner and I’ve been working on a few homemade presents for my little 19 moth old girl. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen together and she can play for the entire duration of our dinner prep with my measuring cups and mixing spoons. When I stumbled upon a wooden mini kitchen at a second hand store last month I knew it would be the perfect project to refinish and give her for Christmas.
A play kitchen can’t be complete without mini pots, pans, utensils, and of course play food! I started searching around on the internet earlier this month and completely fell in love with all of the Melissa & Doug brand wooden fruits and veggies, I think they look classy and I’d thought they’d make a good fit with the rustic/vintage look of her kitchen. However, I wasn’t ready to spend $25 for just a few pieces. I looked up “diy play food” on Pinterest and found a ton of tutorials for felt food, which inspired this fabric food project. So here we go…..
For this project you’ll need:
Image Transfer Process
Repeat this transfer method for each of the pieces. If your’e doing a double sided veggies you’ll need two of each. And if you’re going to do all of them at once you’ll definitely need a helper. The rubbing part of the transfer cramps up your wrist.
Next, trim around the edge of each set, making sure that there’s an inch or so between the edge of the veggie and the edge of the fabric. Next, place the inked sides together, matching up the edges of the fruit as close as possible. Sew around the fabric, about 1/4″ from the colored veggie edge, leaving a 1″ opening. Pull the fabric right side out through the 1″ opening and fill with fluffy cotton to your desired plush-ness. And finally, tuck the edges of the opening into the center and sew along the opening.
TA-DA!!! All finished. Now all that’s left is to wrap them and stick them under the tree. I’m thinking I’ll add some fabric bread, muffins, and eggs to her fabric food set. Hope you enjoy the tutorial.
*************Make sure to run these through a gentle cycle in the washing machine before giving to your little ones!***************

I’ve been researching different ways to transfer images to surfaces like fabric and wood. There’s a bunch of different methods using freezer paper, wax paper, or even printing straight on the fabric. In my research however, I didn’t come across any method as easy and permanent as this one using an all natural cleaning product called CitraSolv.
So here it goes, to transfer an image to fabric or wood using this method you’ll need:

January, a new beginning. I always feel that the beginning of the year is a new gardening milestone for me. Something about the start of a new year makes me feel like it’s time to start planning out beds evaluating new varieties of veggies to try in my garden. I have to remind myself to hit the breaks a bit, after all, the last frost in Utah county is still months away.
In order to slow down my garden hungry spirit, I try to turn my attention to the indoors. I figure if I can get the interior of my home organized and running smooth during these winter months, that once spring starts to hit I can grab my trowel, head out my back door, and never look back. Except for some laundry and light vacuuming I guess, but that’s good enough for me!
