Hi all, I wanted to find a way to carry my seeds to the garden a bit more easily. And also to close the opened seed packets a bit better. And I think I found it. I saw on Pinterest how some people store the seeds packets in the photo album, and thought “Ah, that’s Read More >

Hi all,this year we sold our old house. And I wanted to keep some of the plants that I had there. Namely Sedum Neon. I really like the bright green-yellow leaves with the bright pink flowers.

Hi all,I was a bit tired of constantly buying new pillows and decided to renew some old ones by re-filling them. This process is the same as for filling pillows from scratch. The only difference is that if you are filling new pillows you won’t have to mix the fillings. You will just stuff the Read More >

Hi all, The first winter storms peeled away our tool shed roof, and we had to fix it. Well, we did fix it, but we are not 100% sure we did that correctly. Today we had an extra-strong winter storm with hurricane winds, so if this roof withstood that, then we’re golden. I made a Read More >
