Some Have Asked...
...how to grow wheat grass. I thought I'd share here. It's really very easy.
Start with some potting soil/dirt in any container. Moisten it with some water. On top of that, put a thin layer of wheat berries (the kind you use in a wheat grinder to make bread), so that they're touching, but not overlapping. (I got my wheat in the bulk section at Whole Foods, but you can order it from LDS Distribution or just borrow from someone who has some in their food storage).
Place the container in a window and make sure to water if it gets lots of sun. I grew mine in a window with indirect light and it grew just fine. When the seeds begin to sprout and touch the plastic wrap, take it off and continue to water when the soil gets dry to the touch. Don't overwater. You should have nice, spring-green grass blades in 5 to 7 days.

I am growing a few pots right now. I am facinated with how fast they grow. In 24 hours and in 48 hours. So interesting to see the roots and sprouts come out and up!
Have you just collected your white pottery from garage sales and what not? I want to find some of those urn type bowls! :)
I've got 175 pounds of wheat in my basement...I could re-plant my whole front yard!
This is an old post on a crafting blog I read, and I just came across it today, and thought of you. I know you love silhouettes, and I also know that you like to change things up frequently, so I thought you might like this. Check it out: Decoupage Silhouettes.
Thank you, thank you! I want to do a big one for my mantle! I just have to fing the perfect container. I still have the little one from the RS party on my kitchen window sill. It really cheers me up when I'm feeling the winter blahs. I've had to give him a haircut twice already. It grows so fast!
Thank you for posting this. I am going to try. I love your pottery also. I collect similar pieces in turquoise.
