Friday joys

With all that is going on in the world these day, I like to start my day with a good dose of inspiration. I thought I'd share of few of the things that are happying-up my world this morning.

I loved this indoor herb garden idea posted by Better Homes and Gardens. This is not only easy and doable for me but will also be a sunny addition in my kitchen when the weather here is overcast.

I am tickled to have my new clothesline up, I enjoy everything about the process - it brings me back to my childhood, playing under the damp clothes, the clean smell wafting up in the breeze.

I realized this morning I didn't have a clothespin bag so I made this one using one of Violet's little dresses .

This is my new favorite summer beverage: 2 Tazo Passion teabags, 1 lemon or lime or concentrate, and Vanilla Stevia to taste. So good and practically calorie free!

I'm spending a lot of time here, shooting videos for the class. See the tripod there?

But before I get back to work, my studio compradres are rallying for a tea party. We still have 3 chairs open, join us?

Oh my gosh I love everything! And I love how what you are doing echoes what I've been doing. Terrariums in canning jars on my windowsill, but with moss and tiny plants from my woods. Herbal iced tea made from dried beets, carrots, bamboo, apples, raisins and mango and sweetened with lemon lavender simple syrup. And my clothesline! Which this week was comic as one load got washed three times by sudden rain and finally dried :) xoxo

i want to come over and soak up all the wonderful goodness at your house...
jade and i just made our first indoor garden last week... his venus fly trap needed a warm, happy place for the cooler months to come.

ps the cornstarch/baking soda recipe is a hit, wow... i am impressed. ;)

Katie, your world looks serene and wonderful-I am especially tickled to see your clothesline-I have been using one for forty years-an insider for the winter and outdoors for the rest of the year-it has always seemed so silly to pay for hot air when there is so much of it outside! I do live in the desert(Utah)and rain is rarely a problem, but anytime we can avoid using electricity makes me happy. I'm signing up for your class soon-can't wait-Emma

I just happened to wonder in on this site. I would love to join your tea party. At least in spirit. And I've decided to make a couple of studio compadres of my own. Hugs

Love the studio friends. They look like an interesting, eclectic mix of folks. :)

I have a clothes line that I use in the summer, but somehow mine isn't as picturesque as yours. Maybe because it's stretched across the driveway... Oh well, it was the only place for it and it gets the job done. :)
