Air plants

I found a few over sized shells on the side of a pond. Add a couple of air plants and a little bit of spanish moss and you have a cute little arrangement.

Sorry there hasn't been much to look at around here lately. Hopefully we will move soon and I will be able to start cooking again, and have my crafting supplies out. I promise soon there will be more projects and recipes.

Earth day

Yesterday was Earth day, I hope everyone is doing there part. We do ours in a lot of ways, we grow our own veggies, buy local when we can, we use lunch boxes, reusable grocery bags, recycle. We also use klean kanteens for drinks on the go.

Check out the web site they have a bunch of different sizes and colors they even have different drinking tops. I want them all. This one is a special limited edition, I think it is pretty cool and $8 from each bottle goes to help support The Plastiki's voyage and her foundation's education mission. Go here to read about the voyage.

I hope you had a green earth day and are doing your part everyday. Every little bit helps. I sure this guy would appreciate it.

I started my seeds...

I made plant markers from wooden spoons.

I also got all my seeds from Erica. You can read about how we are sharing seeds here.

She sent me, green towers lettuce, california wonder pepper, sugar ann snap pea, cherokee purple tomato, kakai hullless pumpkin, and matt's wild cherry tomato.

There is my helper Cali.

Notice the two lizards on the wall.

The set up is a bit ghetto, but it will do until we move and get settled in our own home.

Grow little seeds.

pussy willow branches

Well I still want to make more of these branches but we are going to call it done for now. I think they look good, and would look great with a few more to fill it in more.

Not quite the real thing after seeing this photo I took yesterday, but I still think they look good. I love them and that's all that matters. And maybe that they will last a lot longer then the real thing.

Wet felting wool to make pussy willow branches

I have been felting little grey pebbles to make some fake pussy willow branches. Betz White made some great colorful ones you can see here.

I have only made a few branches so far. They look so realistic, Ben thought they were real. Here is a little sneak peek. I need more branches and better light for photos. Check back in for finished photos.

Dragonfly shadow box

Recently I found a dead dragonfly on the window sill at work. Add a couple of twigs with seed pods from the backyard, a $7. shadow box and a piece of textured cream scrap book paper. Instant nature shadow box.
