We have wanted to get a kitchen composter for a long time, but we weren't sure which kind would be best. As you can see, we finally decided on the Can-O-Worms. Now we can simply toss in our kitchen scraps (basically anything that was once living, but not animal), and the worms will munch it all up! Then we get luscious food that our plants will just love!
Here, we have just added the coir (coconut husk fiber) for the worms' initial bedding.
Fireplace mantel made from an authentic beech beam recovered from a barn in Western NY. The wood was cut 100-150 years ago and the trees could have been 200-300 years old. They were saplings somewhere from the late 1600s, early 1700s. The wood is dense and the rings are very tight. When I hold wood I can feel the time and history encapsulated in it. Old wood is not junk wood at all. It has an aura about it. I commune with wood...not is some silly supernatural way...but in the knowledge that it was part of the last wild landscapes of America. It clearly has no memory in the sense that we humans do, but via our knowledge of plants and history we can realize the long spans (relative to human lifespans) of time these trees occupy. Furthermore these trees yielded far superior wood. These trees grew under heavy selection pressures and were strengthened by many long winters, many "once in a century" storms, droughts, floods, the digging, nibbling and pecking of animals, and the effects of humans.
Aesthetically speaking this beam ended up with a blonder color than beech usually does. Normally old beech is browner. This particular beam was whitewashed with a lime-based paint which seems to have bleached the surface to give this pretty blonde color. Wherever there was no whitewash the "normal" brown color spilled through. The wood we use, being real barn wood from actual old barns, has unique, non fakable qualities. Each piece has its own personality, dut to its age, its cut, its use, sun and weather exposure, etc... Only when you finish it (cleaning, light sanding, polyurethane) does its unique characteristics really come out. I'm happy with this piece and more importantly its owners love it.
My favorite cargo pants + curtains from an old home I wish I'd never sold = messenger bag. I used Noodlehead's tutorial and someone else's YouTube tutorial for the last step of putting it all together.

A yawn is a reflex of deep inhalation and exhalation associated with being tired, with a need to sleep, or from lack of stimulation. Pandiculation is the term for the act of stretching and yawning.
Try to learn a new word every day, for example: pandiculation
Un bostezo es la acción incontrolada de abrir la boca, con separación amplia de las mandíbulas, para realizar una inspiración profunda a la que sigue una espiración de algo menos de lo inhalado, con cierre final. Cuando se bosteza, además, se estiran los músculos faciales, se inclina la cabeza hacia atrás, se cierran o entornan los ojos, se lagrimea, se saliva, se abren las trompas de Eustaquio del oído medio y se realizan muchas otras, aunque imprecisas, acciones cardiovasculares, neuromusculares y respiratorias.
¿De veras hacemos todo eso? No es extraño entonces que esté cansada.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Look for an object that has been repurposed to give it new life, and make a photo.

I keep mesh onion bags for use in my artwork. They make great textures for collage and other assorted projects. And now that I see how well they photograph, I have found another use for them.
Remember to reduce, reuse and recycle!

The story:
During the winter, I learned about vermi-composting from redwormcomposting.com. Initially, I wanted the compost for my houseplants, but come summer I decided to plant a kitchen garden instead. I thought it would be wonderful to harvest vegetables that were fertilized with a non-chemical fertilizer. I was amazed by the results. The vibrant colours, amazing flavour and healthy looking vegetables had me hooked. I harvested kale, zucchini, cauliflower, peppers, okra, eggplant, tomatoes, green onions, beans, herbs, broccoli, spinach, carrots and beets. I was able to reduce my kitchen waste by 75%. I added about a pint of vermicompost to the holes as I planted, and also mist them with vermicompost tea. The picture I am submitting is of the vegetables I took camping in the middle of July. Yes, I try to eat healthy, even when I am camping! Vermi-composting has allowed me to reduce my kitchen waste by 75% and provides an alternative to chemical fertilizers. The end result is an abundance of healthy, natural vegetables!

When we refinanced our mortgage, we got a complimentary Suntrust Mortgage tote bag. Wow. I've been using it as my everyday "man bag" or murse, so I don't have to pay the new 5 cent bag tax when I run errands or buy a sandwich. It is so dorky.
Soft, crinkly, squishy, worn-in leather. Made by Italian fashion house Gas Jeans. This could have been made any time from the 70s to the 90s but I can't find any way to narrow that down. It has an inner wallet made for holding pens and things, which is more suggestive of the 70s or 80s to my mind.
Great lamps! Not really magnolia, tall for artichoke... Definitely vintage--look to be 1970's-1980s, from looks of cording & plug.

Couldn't find a link on target for this, so here is just something about it.
It's way too cute, is a fullsize shopping bag, and zips up very easily into the size of a wallet. They're $1. I'm keeping at least one in my car - this is the sort of thing that one day, you'll curse yourself for not having one on hand, because you need it right then.
They're of a heat-bonded nonwoven polypropylene fabric.
even though i look extremely happy in these pictures, i've had a throbbing headache everyday for the past week and a half. it had actually subsided for a while when i took these cause i took some excedrin.
but it's starting to scare me, so i told my parents and they're all worried too, so i might be going to the doctor or something "/ i hope there isn't anything wrong with my brainnnnn

The story:
I don't have any good pics of my ... worm bin, but this rosemary plant on my desk (guarded by Darwin Monkey) was pretty much a small, dead twig in my neighbor's garden a few months ago before I potted it with 50/50 organic potting soil and worm castings. Now its huge and makes my office smell great. The occasional fresh rosemary clipping for my kitchen is an even better perk. My single worm bin consumes about 25% of our household of five's kitchen scraps with the remaining 75% going into my garden compost. This winter's goal is to expand the worm population in the warm basement so that I have enough worms in the spring to flip it to 75% to the worms and only 25% to compost bin.
