Exercising that Black Thumb

I’ve mentioned many times that I have a “black” thumb. Not green, just black. I kill plants. Not on purpose, but they just don’t seem to last long in my care.

Re-Grow Green Onions

Here’s a great tip for the next time you buy {organic} green onions at the store. Trim the root ends off, leaving an inch or so. Stand them up in a small jar of water and leave it in the window sill. Change the water out often. Snip off the regrowth whenever a recipe calls [...]

Project Pretty Jar Candle: Complete!

Okay, so this “craft” is ridiculously easy. Which is probably why I got all geeked out when I thought of it. One of those “ooh! what if I did this?” *squee* moments. Don’t judge. You’ll need: jar candle, any label or logo removed clear quote sticker stack – for example, I had these in my [...]

Project Daily To Do List: Complete!

I’m constantly jotting down lists. It’s what I do. And sometimes… I lose lists. Unfortunately, it’s also what I do. And that’s mighty frustrating! I figured out a way to keep my lists, do away with paper, and add a touch of pretty to my daily notes. You’ll need: 7 picture frames, varying in sizes [...]
