Cotton: Week 3

I haven't seen where Staci's overachieving cotton sprouts have gotten this week but my little late bloomers have finally made a showing. Perhaps because they feel cozier in their new home. Thanks, Razor, for sharing.

Note: Yes, I still need a tan.

Have Cotton, Will Travel

So I'm on my way to the bi-yearly Furniture Market in High Point. And this time around, not only do I have my new gallery theme to install, but also my little cotton babies to watch over... I was told that they'd starve if left back home in Raleigh.

Cotton: Week 2

I'm beginning to sense a trend here.

TGIF at 6pm

I got home from a long workday to this great surprise: Good luck half marathon flowers from Mike. He even arranged them himself...

I love the lighting hits them, and how natural but perfect the grouping looks. Another reason that homemade bouquets are better than florists.

Today I am meandering how it is possible that my feet are the same color as my shoes.

The Cotton Club comes to Raleigh

Craft Day Part Deux introduced the first ever Cotton Challenge to P as in Peter.

The Goal: To grow our own cotton for use in wedding centerpiece bouquets.

The Challenge: Staci and I each started with a packet of seeds and the same growing equipment. Every Friday we will document the status of our seedlings turn plants. The one who grows the cotton best wins.

The Incentive: Obvious bragging rights come September 24.

I'm also including a few inspiration images of how beautiful the the end potential can be. I love the glamorous and yet simple feel of these cotton arrangements.
