I have no green thumbs. Not even an inch of a green thumb. I love plants and flowers and have tried to nourish and love house plants, only to have them wilt and turn brown. That being said, I started my very first garden this year. I love the flavor of freshly picked onions and cucumbers. I carried my trowel and hand shovel in a box out to the garden everytime I went out. I stumbled upon a super cute super simple gardening tote and decided to make it for our craft day. I'm trying my best to learn how to sew. Dawn is the sewer of our family, but slowly and surely I am learning. I have started a few projects that didn't turn out quite as I expected them to. I got frustrated with them and my sewing machine and cut them up and threw them away. I have a bit of a temper. This is the first sewing project I've successfully started and finished (with a cute outcome, even.) Dawn isn't much of a gardener so she plans on using her tote for something else.
I love it! I even had to wash my gardening tools off before I put them into the bag for fear of getting the bag dirty. I do live in reality so I know it's only a matter of time before dirt and bugs and mud happen on my lovely little tote, but for now when it's nice and new, I'm going to do my best to keep it clean. My next goal is to make a little matching kneepad to kneel upon as I weed.
Wish me luck with the living of my veggies!
