Did you resolve to approach daily life more creatively this year? If so, Fran Sorin, can help. Sorin is the author of Digging Deep: Unearthing Your Creative Roots Through Gardening, and also a regular contributor to the blog Gardening Gone Wild.
Living more creatively, says Sorin, simply means "approaching each moment as a new opportunity." She's broken down the process into seven steps and is offering an abbreviated version of the process outlined in her book on her blog.

Found this natural bird feeder wreath and instructions for the same on Life on the Balcony. If I line everything up ahead of time I bet I can make several of these the next time I keep my husband company watching a football game.

That gives me about 174 minutes to do something else--like make a few of these.)
Like Sunset's garden department staff, Santa Monica garden designer Arleen Ferrara is delighted to see so many homeowners switching to permeable paths. If yours aren't permeable yet, she gives some lovely examples on her blog Satori Designs.
