Happy new year!

January 4, 2011 by Andrea Bellamy 5 Comments

Hey there! Happy new year. Hope you had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas holiday (if you celebrate such things), and are ready to take on the world in 2011. Let’s all work to make this year better than the last, shall we? It can’t be hard to do better than 2010! So: happy thoughts, good intentions, […]

Saving seeds and drying herbs

October 19, 2010 by Andrea Bellamy 3 Comments

‘Red Sails’ lettuce going to seed. The garden has started its slow decline, and I am not overly unhappy about it.

My first week on the Cure, plus some inspiration from Pad Outdoors

January 4, 2010 by Andrea Bellamy 11 Comments

My husband and I are attempting to (re)decorate our living room. (I’m not sure whether we’re decorating or redecorating. We’ve lived here for almost four years, and the living “room,” which is part of an open plan kitchen/dining/living space, is completely dysfunctional.)
