As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I do like growing plants/flowers and I am slightly addicted to Pinterest (I guess I'm not the only one who loves Pinterest?).
Anyway, Pinterest is a great resource for inspiration and ideas. Today I wanted to share with you a few things I might want to try sooner or later, even if it means a Pinterest-fail.
The first thing that I'm considering to do, is growing tulips in a glass jar. I can't help, but think this looks pretty, even though I'm unsure how good it is for the bulbs to be exposed in this manner. It is anyway a project I want to do just to try it.
The next thing I want to test out is growing an aloe plant. Part of the reason why I want to try this is because I have memories of my grandmother doing it, or at least that she had aloe plants once upon a time.
Have you tried any of these projects? How did it go? Or do you want to try them? Feel free to share your thoughts below.

Making a Home 30 Days to Domestic Bliss Take Two
Way back
I did the 30 Days to Domestic Bliss Challenge hosted by The Decorista. It didn’t
quite go as according to plan (in other words, I’ve kind of forgot about it
after a while), but I have decided to give it a new shot. The tasks in the
challenge are simple enough, so that is not the issue fortunately.
The
difference this time is that I want to hold myself accountable by posting a few
updates on this blog. So hopefully by a month’s time, I’ve managed to complete
the challenge.
In case
you’re curious about this challenge, some of the tasks include making a meal,
bring in the green, style up the coffee table and various types of
decluttering. Honestly, I’m actually looking forward to do some of the tasks
and for that matter, completing this challenge. I’ve also got some ideas and/or
inspiration for a few of those tasks, even if it means me doing a bit of
shopping, but thankfully I live within walking distance from a shopping centre,
so it’s no big deal really.
Have you
ever done such a challenge before or are you inspired to do one? Feel free to
comment below.

Weekend Cooking; 10 Picnic Recipes to Try
As it's spring and almost summer, I thought it would be nice to share a few picnic recipes with you in a round up post. I know that there is quite a few people who enjoy picnics, but sometimes one is stuck in a rut in terms of what to make/bring.

Making a Home; Antiquing Furniture With Paint or Wax
I am not going to deny that my taste in furniture and home decor are a bit eclectic to say it the least, but I do have this weak spot for anything "old looking", whether it is actually old or fake old. Yeah, I'm even weird enough to have a vintage gask mask on display in my living room.
Anyway, today I wanted to give you some inspiration in terms of techniques for antiquing furniture to obtain that "old look". As I haven't done any projects recently and I'm not an expert on this, I've found two good articles on Pinterest for you to look at.
Here they are;

Making a Home; Growing Avocadoes and Garlic
Subconsciously I’ve been interested in the
aspects of growing herbs, veggies and so on for a long time. I think it has a
bit to do with the fact that I grew next door to my grandparents who had a
small farm, with around 20 sheep and the same amount of egg-laying chickens. In
addition to that, my grandparents also had two fields; one for strawberries and
one for potatoes AND an apple orchard. As a kid, I do have recollections of helping
collecting apples and potatoes in the autumn with several other family members
and it is fond memories. When my grandparents were away, it was also often my
duty to collect the eggs.
The farm is long gone, but as an adult I do
like to grow my own stuff in a small scale. Thanks to Pinterest, I’m now keen
on trying to new projects; garlic and avocadoes. The avocadoes are more for the
fun of it though, as I like the look of the tree.
On the other hand, when it comes to garlic, it
is because I use it a lot for cooking and I know I would probably save a few
quid in the long run if I successfully manage to grow it myself.
Do you have any such fond memories from
childhood? Or have you successfully managed to grow some vegetables or other
edibles? Feel free to share below.
