Light Bulb Hanging Vase by ChiffonAerer The Sexiest Men in Rock & Roll - A Scientific Study - Beth Mann "You want this." Some think sexiness is in the eye of the beholder. But is it? This isn't a case of "I think he's hot" as much as this guy is definitely hot - like, scientifically. Here's the criteria which lead us to our findings: They ooze sexiness. The Top Ten Hottest Men in Rock 1. Topping our list is the Lizard King himself. 2. Young Sting was a HOTTIE. 3. "Big ego, maybe...but I'm smoking. 4. "I'm feeling cocky....can't you tell?" 5. "I plan on fucking a lot. 6. "I want to fuck you like an animal." 7. "Please...this list was invented for me." 8. "Yeah, right, Jagger." 9. "Easy, boys. 10. "Stroke me." 11. "I'm non-traditionally sexy but I got "it" in spades." 12. "I don't know why I'm here." (Cornell wasn't going to make the list but as our team of scientists reviewed more photos, it was decided amongst our team that he would "not be thrown out of bed for eating crackers" as Dr. 13.

Constellation Jar I asked Amy of This Heart of Mine for a project that would be fun for kids or adults. I love that she thought of star-gazing! We’re so far into the countryside, that the stars here are outrageously bright. It’s awesome! — Gabrielle Star gazing is one of my favorite things. Because of my love of the stars, when my daughter was little, I purchased her a night light that shines stars all over her bedroom walls. What you’ll need: - a wide mouth jar – The jar needs to be wide enough to fit the small click light inside. -an awl - scissors Cut a strip of the cake pan long enough to fit around inside the jar and tall enough to reach to the very top of the jar. Use the awl to poke holes for the constellations. I connected the constellation dots with a silver Sharpie to make them easier to spot. Fill in the other space with more holes. Roll the aluminum sheet until it fits snug inside the jar. Put the encircled aluminum sheet inside the jar. Take into a dark room and enjoy.
Black Magic HOW TO: Recycle a Tin Can Into a Gorgeous Outdoor Lantern for Summer Parties All you need to do to get started on this eco-friendly summer craft project is gather the following materials: 2-4 cleaned, empty tin cans (you can use any size)a hammeran assortment of nails (for larger or smaller holes)colorful permanent markerspaper, pencil, masking tape, scissors (if you plan to use a pattern)votive candlesa towel With your newly gathered used tin cans, remove labels, and clean thoroughly. Fill each can with water and freeze overnight until solid. The ice stabilizes the can and prevents it from bending when you punch holes in them later. Decide on a design for your punched-tin decorations. Cradle the frozen tin can in a folded towel (to prevent the can from moving and to catch ice chips). Rinse the can under a hot tap until the ice block pops out and allow the can to dry. If you want to add color to your new punched-tin lantern, you can create a variety of fun, shiny designs by simply using colorful permanent markers.
The Rise of Urban Farming and Other Varieties of Sustainable Ag | Buildings My newest buzzword for 2011 is CSA. I'd never heard the term until recently, but now it seems to be popping up all over, as is interest in sustainable agriculture and urban farming. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture -- the practice of signing up with a local farm for weekly produce and, in some cases, meat and dairy. I first read about CSA in Kristin Kimball's recent memoir, "The Dirty Life," which is justly attracting rave reviews on Amazon. A Manhattan writer who gave up the city for love, she has been farming an organic spread, Essex Farm, in upstate New York since 2003, with her husband, Mark. Essex Farm provides a complete sustainable diet for its 150 members. Kimball's book is an engrossing depiction of the back-breaking work and edible rewards of CSA. Urban farming is also on the rise. Urban farming comes in a variety of models. A vision of urban and vertical farming. Next Page: More visions of urban farms.
Friday Flowers: Ombre Chrysanthemums I love this project. It's fast, cheap, easy, AND it's fun to say aloud: obmre chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum is one of my favorite words of all time. I like the way it requires you to scrape your tongue across the back of your teeth to pronounce it properly. And, for another thing, it is one of the few multisyllabic words I enjoy spelling. Ombre is big again this year, so I thought I would incorporate it into a flower project. I was all set to show this to guys last week, but then I decided it was missing something. *Can I just take a sec to point out that I even have a closet that can hold a giant chrysanthemum lantern? What's the difference between the two versions? Coffee filters: $2.00 (tip: I buy packs of 700 coffee filters at Costco $2.50) Required quantity varies. Dye: $4.00 per bottle I used Rit liquid fabric dye because I wanted a rich, vibrant orange and I have found (through much experimentation, I might add) that nothing else produces saturated orange/red colors like this dye.
Studio G - Garden Design & Landscape Design inspiration » 2009 » February Spring is coming and wedding season will soon be in full swing. I am sensing a trend in this era of cost cutting and economizing that garden weddings (perhaps at cherished family home) are a realistic option for brides. I have had a couple of clients speak with me about developing thier gardens for upcoming events so I thought I would share some ideas for creating a wedding garden. 1. ) Theme your garden with plants that are named with wedding titles like these…. 1. Retama monosperma #1,(Bridal veil broom) 2. 2.) 1. 3.) and another at Hatley Gardens in Canada. I am running out of time today, so I am going to cut this short….but I am having so much fun with it, I am going to continue a little later…some bridal garden lighting ideas, focal points in the garden for the ceremony…and more.
