Decor for the basement

I've started my wall decor of fabric and cross stitch hoops based from a display I saw in New York. I've found most of the hoops at thrift stores for around a dollar each. The fabric is mostly from SU. A fun and cheap project I can swap out on a whim. Color of photo is poor, forgive the phone photo.

Mr. Bright eyes

Nicholas was so happy to take a bath tonight. All smiles and bright eyes. We love this boy!

Early October Snow

Great view of the Wasatch after this week's early season snow.

Planting Bulbs

The boys and I planted over 100 bulbs this afternoon. We had a great system. Andrew and Benj dug the holes, & I filled them with bulbs. Fast work even with baby bulb hijacking and other course corrections. Fingers crossed for a colorful spring.

What we planted:
50 Narcissus yellow trumpets
6 Globemaster Alliums - these are the BIG ones, bigger than a softball!
4 Fritillaria - these are a orangey tropical looking flower.
12 Ice Cream Tulips
10 Merlot Tulips
40 purple & white alliums - golf ball size flowers
6 Alliums - medium sized
