    Heirloom Tea

    September 20, 2011 - By 
    My garden harvest is winding down…so
    I’ve started the process of saving seeds for next years garden. This way I’m creating my own heirloom seeds. This is what I’ve collected thus far.
    I’m waiting for a 3 other tomato plants to ripen so that we may sample the goods and see if they are worth saving.
    I got those plants from my psuedo-sister-in-law so I don’t even know what they are called.
    Do you save seeds? Vegetables? Flowers?
    I save them all….it’s fun to see what comes of it and besides that-
    IT”S FREE!!
    Stop by Kimmie’s blog  to see what she my Tea Tuesday friends are up to today.
    I’m heading there next myself.
    BTW-Kimmie also has a wonderful gardening blog that can be found on her side bar.

    Awesome book

    September 14, 2011 - By 
    I just had to share my excitement about this book I checked out from the library!
    I have major art journal envy of those who do it so well. I just haven’t been able to set myself free enough to do it I guess.
    I feel like this book can help me.
    It’s definitely going on my wish list…
    It’s fully of step by step photos for some great background techniques.

     

     

    Tip and tricks…

    By the way…
    I’m not being compensated in any way shape or form by anyone. I’m sure that Traci Bunkers doesn’t have a clue who I am nor do the publishers of this book.
    Just wanted you to know that before I went any further.

    I’ve gotten inspired.
    First I did a quick, no thought page
    in a practice book.
    Not bad…not great but I’m working at it.

    I’ve got an idea in mind for a bunch of recycled cardboard as well.
    Just working on getting it prepped with my horrible gesso. I say horrible because it is some lame off brand and it’s so watery.
    Live and learn then buy the good stuff.
