...that I will probably be making two bead curtains: one will use the earth color beads, the other will use the blue ones. The blue will not work with my future bedroom color scheme, which will be mostly yellows and greens.

I will also be making a trellis on wheels for my passionflower vine, to be purchased later.

There will be a gauze canopy or curtain for the bed that will be embellished. I think that's best paired with a heavier fabric in dark moss. At the head of the bed, maybe some kind of decoration on the wall. And something above the window.

I find I just don't like coming here to post anymore because I've always been more comfy with Blogger's layout. Am humoring a move back to Blogger, since most people I know are blogging either on Blogger or LJ. But right now the physical move takes precedence over the virtual one.

This is not really any kind of update, more of a personal memo. I've just been browsing the kinds of plants I like and I realized that if I ever have enough room to grow non-food things, I'd like to grow Salix koriyanagi 'Rubykins" and S. exigua for basketry. I wonder if mushrooms would tolerate a straw medium held in willow baskets? Also, blue lotus, madake bamboo, and if I'm feeling especially ambitious, Boswellia sacra. If I ever have room for a greenhouse, my ambitions become more disturbing still... keffir lime, long pepper, mimosa, cacao, pitcher plants...

ETA: oh yeah, and papyrus, natch.

ETAA: I'm going to enter a beading contest this year. *sigh* always something else...
