I have a few new additions to my sweet little house. As it is becoming winter again I am doing all I can to prepare for the cold and rain that is on it's way. As you saw a few posts back I have been doing a lot of chopping of wood and just the other day I bought floor rugs!

I used to think I didn't need rugs because my house is so tiny. Then one day I was sitting at my table with my shoes on and my feet were still freezing just because they were on the floor. Then and there I decided that I needed rugs. I don't know that they really heat up the house itself but they make it more pleasant to sit on because it is another layer between my feet and the cold cold floor. Not only that but they are super cute! When I first got them I just could not help admiring what a good job I did and I really enjoy sitting on the thick red one. They just totally bring the room together and I am so happy with them.

The second addition is my new little project of growing celery (apio in Spanish if you were wondering). I read on pinterest that when you buy a head of celery that if you chop the bottom off and plant it that new celery will just grow right out of it. Well, they were right! The picture below is probably after about 3 or 4 days and all I did was dig a little hole, pour water in the hole, but the celery bottom in the hole and cover it with dirt. Then, whenever the dirt got dry I watered it! Now, by the time I need celery again (I don't use it much) maybe I will have my own and then can do the same thing over again! Pretty cool, huh?
Grow apio grow!
