What a difference a week makes

Last Friday, we had a blizzard here that dropped about 8" of snow. On Monday, I could barely get out of my driveway because the wet heavy snow had compacted and frozen. Today, I started planting some seedlings in peat pots on the deck.

As they say in this area, if you don't like the weather ... wait a few days.

I started up a bunch of herbs, peas, beans, summer and winter squash, zucchini, and lots and lots of kohlrabi (which is great when it's fresh and not in the least bit woody).

I might have jumped the gun a bit early, but I'll pull the seedlings inside the house if it gets too cold.

Harmony baby cribs

We're working on new photos for the harmony style baby cribs, trying to show more clearly how the piece converts from a crib into a kid's bed. This design has arts and crafts, as well as asian design elements.


















We're also using it for bedroom furniture design for harmony beds, nightstands and dressers. My own bed and nightstand were created in this design, it doesn't require a box spring due to the large number of slats in the bed frame.

The mattress I had crafted is wool, with cotton fabric on the exterior. Wool doesn't require any flame retardants to be added, as it is naturally fire-proof. These flame retardants are toxic and really shouldn't be present in anyone's bedroom.
