Closet Flashbacks: Mosaic Stepping Stone


Today I am resurrecting the neglected Closet Flashback feature, which really should have a different name since half the stuff isn't from our closets. Perhaps "handmade: in the wild!" or "Yes I actually use the stuff I make" or....must revisit when brain cells are snapping. This week's flashback was made about two years ago with a mosaic kit I got at the thrift store. It has been rotated through plenty of locations, but I think it has finally found its home at the gate of my garden. It is bright, colorful and fun, cute 6 year old toes not included.

Snazzy Handmade Seed Packets


In an effort to justify my love for Pinterest, I have made a solemn vow to actually make the stuff I pin. Such a novel idea, right? Well, I recently saw someone who had made their own seed packets. A quick google search will turn up any number of printable envelope templates, or you can simply soak an envelope you like til the glue pulls away. Flatten it, let it dry and trace away! I made my envelopes from a scrapbook paper stack. They are perfect for sharing seed, and for storing saved seed from season to season. Now to get out and plant something!
