I'm a Part of Philly Burb Moms

For some of you who are new to my blog, you may not know that in addition to sewing and crafting I am actually a horticulturist.  I received my degree from Penn State University, and I LOVE gardening.  Next to raising my daughter, and doing crafts, gardening is one my greatest passions.  I grew up visiting my grandparents farm in Phoenixville, where not only did I learn to garden but I also learned how to bale hay....so not fun(and I'm talking the old fashioned way, not with these nice new fangled machines that throw the bales into wagons for you.)  Sorry I digressed, where was I, oh, yes, so back in January of this year I started contributing a gardening blog to Philly Burb Moms, which encompasses moms from Chester County, Montgomery County, and Delaware County, PA.  If you live in any of these areas or live close to them I highly suggest you check out these info-packed everything a mom needs to know and do blogs!  Oh, and not to forget to mention, they have a great calender of what to do in-town and nearby! ...plus they feature me, Gardening with Carrie.  (sorry, I know, I am partial!)

My Inspiration

So some of you are possibly wondering where I got the inspiration for my Rambling Rose Necklaces. Well I grew up on my Grandparents farm and as far back as I can remember I was either running around in the fields picking corn or helping plant flowers in my grandmothers flower beds. I loved it and still do. So much so that I actually have a degree from Penn State University in Horticultural business.
My days start and end with a walk threw my gardens, yup, it is definitely what inspires me, and continues to do so, on a daily basis.....except when I see weeds or those McNasties, the occasional Japanese beetle.
