in the garden

Since I have joined Heather's March of the Tools I have seen tools everywhere in my life.  Stuff that I always use, like my computer, and never think of it as a tool.  Only what is kept in the garage is a tool right?  Not right.

Should I share a picture with you of my tv remote, my camera, my nail file.  All tools.  I'm thinking any thing that I use with my hands to do work is a tool.  Do you agree?  Would that include my purse?

Well, here is something that is a real tool, that I do keep in my garage.  And it is something that I do really enjoy using because of it's uniqueness.



These are the best for getting up the weeds.   Someone once told me they were French.  I have no idea.  I also don't know how I now have three of them.  But since I have three kids, I'm glad that I do.   Maybe I need one more for me :)



Can you tell spring is here?  I hope my 3 keep thinking that weeding is fun.  When I get these out, they all want one.  And the bucket is the other perfect companion for the weeding.  Makes the clean up easy.

I hope you know Heather Bailey.  And if you don't, you really need to get to know her!  She is the designer and creator of some of the most beautiful fabrics.  And the inventor of trash ties.  She is super model beautiful and a mom to boot!

Since it's March, Heather is hosting a great blog play along called March of the Tools.  Where everyone is sharing photos of their favorite tools.  Crafty or not.  Which sounds like so much fun.  I hope you're into it too.  There's even a flickr group.  And you know I'm a flickr addict.



As a matter of fact, my birthday was in January.  And guess what I got?  Tools!  So, you'll see some of those soon :)  Join me in the fun!
