Spring comes in "fits and starts"!

     If you know me then you know I love languages and particularly old sayings in the English language.  I love to research the origin of these cute sayings.  So today I chose "Fits and Starts".  If you are not familiar with this one, it means with irregular movement; with much stopping and starting.  It is first recorded in a sermon by Robert Sanderson in England in 1681.  Your lesson for the day!  I dare you to use it in a sentence.  Back to Spring - today is rainy and much cooler.  Hopefully just a watering day for the flowers that want to emerge. 
     As promised I am posting the construction of the 3 tiered tray I bought.  I found a few things that will look cute in it.  But one necessary item in my opinion is a cute fabric napkin to line the bottom tier.  I'm going with a pale peachy pink and gold theme.  I will search today for fabric or a napkin that coordinates.  Sadly the faux hens and chickens were all gone but I did find some other cute succulent picks. 
     I have AADD (adult attention deficit disorder)😏 but I try to use it to my advantage. Basically I try not to have more than about 5 projects going at once.  LOL!  Any more than that and the chances of them being completed is pretty slim.  So the 3 tiered tray is one project.  Another is the Spring Wreaths I'm creating, there are two.  The other projects I will save posting for another day!  Here are my photos of t some of the pieces I'll use when I arrange my tray today.  Everything you see here came from Hobby Lobby. (except the tray of course!)

Here are the beginnings of my wreaths.

I got the wreaths for less than half price at JoAnn's (on sale and with a coupon).  They always look a little sparse to me so I like to add some flowers in here and there for a more full look. That's what the bunch on chair will be used for.  I will cut the stems into individual flowers and poke them in.  The ribbon will be for hanging.  On the yellow wreath I may try to find a cute periwinkle checked ribbon instead of the yellow polka-dot.   Ta-da! 😁  I will post again once they are hanging up somewhere!
