My first Sunday Sketch and a little gardening

Happy Sunday! I have decided to begin participating in Blue Chair Diary's Sunday Sketches, so here is my first one! I figure it is a good way for me to keep coming up with ideas on a regular basis. I have been busy with this and that this week and have not had much time to paint, so I'm glad I have something to show :) I may make her into a painting soon too!

I also wanted to show you the humble little container garden that my boyfriend and I have started on our porch. We planted purple sage, apple mint, zucchini, parsley, lavender, strawberries, basil and cherry tomatoes. We have only had them for a couple of days but I am already so excited to see them grow a tiny bit at a time! And if you look closely you can see a mischievous little friend hiding amongst the parsley...

I found all of the little decorations in the dollar spot at Target last year :)

We also have some hanging baskets with flowers and little solar lights. Here is an overall picture of the porch:

We have been enjoying sitting out there and eating breakfast in the mornings before it gets too hot. Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday and I will see you soon! :)
