Community garden

There's a community garden not too far from where I live.  I paid a visit last week since they were having an event.  I even signed up on the waiting list for a plot--we'll see if I get one!

Lately

Original Cathy McMurray painting sent to me in the mail.  I love how she packages everything so thoughtfully.  I've been wanting to own a piece of hers for awhile, and finally took advantage of her May sale!

Whales swimming through the blue ocean.  I can definitely see Cathy's Pacific North West influence in this painting.

My parents have been growing lettuce on our narrow balcony, and it's been a nice treat to eat fresh lettuce every night.

We're also growing rosemary.

I've also been printing again.  The tree on the left was created by gluing card stock onto another piece of cardboard.  The image on the right was created by stamping lotus root on paper. 

Sunday afternoons are the best

Sunday was nice . . . I had a great time at church in the morning and came home for a session of soup and granola-making while watching the rain pour down outside.

Woolly Pockets

I have seen Woolly Pockets in stores and I always wondered how they worked but was never that interested in them until I watched their cool new video (yes, I'm a sucker for cute marketing).  But seriously, I think a vertical garden is a great idea--especially in small spaces, and especially if you live in urban areas and want to bring the outdoors in.
