Amigurumi

Last night, I was watching a knitting/crocheting show (I think it was called Knitting Daily)… They had a segment where they crocheted these cute Japanese-style dolls called Amigurumi. This may be a perfect first crocheting project, since I bought a Learn How to Crochet kit a few weeks ago.

Here are some links I want to jot down for reference:

Links: Storefront Gardens

I just discovered a blog called Storefront Garden that reminds me of all the little shops in San Francisco with plants in their windows. I should photograph more of those :)

Links: Oriental Lilies & Zucchini Idea

I like how Marika from Gardener’s Index interplanted Oriental Lilies & Zucchini. I should do something like this for next year.

Chilean Guava…

I saw this article about Chilean Guava and decided that I must get one.
Chilean Guava — why doesn’t everyone have one of these?
