quick & easy photography backdrop

Between blogging about crafts and keeping up an Etsy store, I take a lot of photographs, and I want those photographs to look nice.

how a Piranha Plant is “grown”

Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been cultivating a lovely little indoor garden of long-stem Piranha Plants. Today I thought I’d let you see a little of what goes into “growing” a long-stem Piranha Plant. They spring up quickly, but they do require a fair bit of development!
