So yesterday I showed you my basil cutting growing roots, as well as the pot I decorated here, but here they are together!
pot o' basil
Also, the pomegranate tree that I planted back in September 2009, finally has its first fruit!
Update: Benji is disgruntled that I did not give the others involved any credit for this pomegranate. My bad. Benji & I bought the pomegranate tree (really more like a bush) together, and subsequently had my dad arrange digging a hole and actually putting it in the ground.
perfect pomegranate

This is an example of one of the (pretty?) crafty things I tried. Last summer, I got into making these mirrors with seashell frames. But unfortunately, I kind of fell off once I start renovating my bedroom, cuz everything was in chaos for a long time (and still is somewhat chaotic) But here’s a pic of one of the mirrors I made, which hangs in my bedroom. The others, I made for friends, and stupidly didn’t take pictures before giving them away (stupid Laura!)
whatcha think?
I realise this isn’t a great picture. I will try to take some better ones, maybe some more detail.
If anyone wants one of their own, I’m totally open to commissioning a mirror to your specifications (round, oval, square, rectangle, type of shells, random appearance?) So what do you say? Want your very own Bahamian-made sea-shell mirror with Bahamian shells?? hahah, when did this turn into an ad? Gahh…
