I Heart Echeveria

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

This little picture is of my echeveria in full bloom. I love how the little flowers dangle into the perfect drop… and the color is incredible. My apologies for the picture… if it wasn’t so shitty small you would be able to see the fabulous coral coloring. As it is, I’m in the middle of moving, and as you can imagine my camera, books, notes on what to write, etc. are all floating around in the unknown.

Moving on… I Heart Echeveria. It’s so easy, gorgeous and interesting… and did I mention easy!? The blue ones are my favorite, but the dusty gray echeveria are nice too. In clusters the form the nicest ground cover under trees like crabapples, arbutus or even olive trees.

Love my Buddha

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

I’ve had a pot by my front door for about a year and a half now. When I first moved to this house, I planted it with a fabulous little daphne, some nepeta and I think a couple annuals. Well, everything has filled in nicely – except growing towards the back, of course towards the sun. So I filled the empty void with Buddha. This isn’t so much a philosophical statement, as it is a literal one. I bought an amazing gold tinted Buddha head from a statuary store in HMB and I love it!

2 wet 2 work

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

It’s too wet to work today. Plus, yesterday I picked up some wet burlap and my back decided to take a vacation from holding up the rest of my body. It’s works out ok, as it’s raining out and there is plenty of trashy tv to watch paper work to be done.

Including some designing…..

So, I’ll work on that until the wisteria drys off…
