Extreme Moisture

Cupcakes..the essence of moisture

Brilliant Advice

I have a ritual when I paint: I listen to podcasts and self-help tapes.. There's an internet radio show in particular that has helped me immensely with the practical day-to-day activities in my life that sometimes seem overwhelming or un-solvable. I highly recommend listening to Amania Jacobs and Vega Rozenberg as they are some of the wisest people that you will ever hear.

Here's a finished oil rendition of an old watercolor I did in Europe (You can find the original in some old posts)

New Cupcake Addition

Well I'm running on this cupcake tangent - it's quite enjoyable...

Golf

Yes, sometimes I do get outside. :)

Girls with power tools

Well I'm full throttle into gardening now... I've officially built my own compost container. I made all the calculations for how much wood I would need, went down to Home Depot and bought the lumber & screws and when I got home, I was a handy girl. Used that cordless power drill i recieved from my parents on some distant birthday and went to town.

So something I learned about composting is that there are 2 kinds of materials you can use for composting: Greens & Browns..
Greens: Any organic "wet" materials (like the scraps you collect from the kitchen)
Browns: Dried, fibrous materials (like dead leaves, papers, dried grass, hay)

When you are filling the composting bin, it is important to use the greens and browns as alternating layers - otherwise the wets will decompose too quickly and the dries will never really decompose at all. -Pretty cool eh?
