Kay, so I don't know how long I've been absent, but mostly I've been sick and reading, and/or obsessed with gardening...not so much crafting, except a little collage-ing and jewelry making.
A month or maybe even two ago, I got started with a pre-potted herb garden from Trader Joe's, sage, rosemary and thyme, then the heather. I think I got the seeds for the herbs after that (from Powell's of all places), lavender, chamomile and anise, plus some others. Then, waiting for those to seed, I bought the succulents and have been hunting for jars and glasses and other cheap/cute/odd things to use as pots and terrariums. My favorite place is and always has been Village Merchants, but Value Village is great too. Except I bought a big brandy snifter which broke when I got home.
On to pictures!
Succulents for the window sills:

My attempt at terrariums. |
|
Extras, outside. Coffee can. |
|
My favorite is the sesame seed jar. There has been new growth. |
Outside herbs:
|
Chamomile in a strainer |
|
Anise, which had pushed a taproot out the plug after 2 weeks. |
|
Heather, re-potted, and lavender, which you can't really see yet, plus I might've accidentally killed. |
|
Thyme and rosemary. |
|
|
And my absolute favorite:
|
Jar from Value Village. |
|
Morning Glory seedlings in a starter plug, on top of soil and rocks or glass pebbles. |

And some collaged glass jars for candles and whatnot:

Most of the pics came from Bitch Magazine, Juxtapoz and High Fructose. |

Oh, and my supervisor at work let me take a bunch of BiG, old out of date magnets home to craft with. That weekend I found the greatest pictures to glue to them, so maybe next weekend?
Save me a magnet, I need a powerful one for work to keep the headset out of my way! You definitely have inherited the Sturdevant green thumb and I love how creative you are in your choice of planters. If I find you the seeds, can you attempt some Catnip for me? I obviously can't grow it inside here and there are too many wandering kitties to grow it outside but I'd love to grow some for Mort. You are an inspiration baby girl. Love ya!
