Magical Getaway

This looks like a little home tucked away in a forest of a magical being. The fantasy comes from the rambling vines, stone exterior of the home siding, and some color or the yellow flowers in pots in the window. The hard lines of the home and rambling vines are relaxed with the very feminine drapes in the window. I wonder who lives here? I wonder what someone would be doing just on the inside of this perfect little getaway. Reading? Art studio? …. whatever hey do I am sure it mus be relaxing to be inside looking out.

Growing Pears Into Art

When the pear is first formed a mold of hard plastic riveted together is attached around the new growth. As the pear grows it grows into the mold and develops. Makes a whole new idea for eating fruit. I wonder what other types of fruit this could be applied to? Apples?

Sleeping Tips

Sleep Tip #1

Keep your room dark during sleep hours. Heavy shades can help block light from windows, or you can try an eye mask to cover your eyes.

Sleep Tip #3

Make sure your bedroom is well ventilated and a comfortable temperature. Most people sleep best in a slightly cooler room.

Make sure your mattress and pillows are comfortable and supportive. It is important that they are free of allergens that might affect you while sleeping.

Hardware Painting Trick

A great trick to prevent paint getting on things you would rather not get them on. Sometimes painters tape isn’t the easiest to cover some items and foil seems to mold to whatever it is placed against. Even better, use the dollar store cheap thin stuff to mold even better.  For door knobs, loosen the screws and tuck in foil and squeeze to mold to door knob shape. Can you think of any other ways foil could be used when painting to help not make a big clean up?
