I have a weakness for sweets.  This Pomegranate Layer Cake at Baking Delights looks yummy.

Last year, my husband and I planted some tomato and pepper plants.  It was nice to have fresh veggies around and it definitely saved on our grocery bill.  Peggy gives us some reasons to start a veggie garden.

I’m all for saving time in the kitchen and making easy recipes.  Noble Pig gives us Cheater’s Key Lime Pie and The Lazy Cook’s Baklava.

After seeing The Spite House, my house seems rather large.  It was built in 1830 and is only 7 feet wide.  Thankfully, this is not the owner’s primary residence.

If you’re looking for a less traditional way to display your photos, then you might want to try these glass jar frames.  It puts old jars to good use.

Haywood’s Meadow has a great idea for recycling clothing into field bags and purses.  These are pretty cute.

Stephanie is quite busy growing tomatoes in her tub and trying to grow potatoes.  Last year’s potatoes didn’t do so well.  We’ll see what happens this year.  All this talk of gardens has me itching to plant some things.
