for my birthday aaron and the kids got me a spider plant. aaron knew that i've really wanted more houseplants but am really terrible at keeping them alive. the plant lady told him that it's nearly impossible to kill a spider plant, and what's more, they are super easy to colonize! so he made me this beautiful hanging set-up near the southern window in the craft area. isn't it nice? he is also in charge of all care for the plants, which i think pretty much means watering once a week.
he just sort of set one of the little baby spider growths on top of the pot on the right, and it has rooted itself and is growing well!
another thing i really wanted for the craft area was a better light for over the table. so he made me this beautiful lamp in the aluminum welding class he took last fall.
it has really thin veneer glued in between the aluminum pieces, and the light shines through so nicely. he ended up using clear contact paper to help hold the veneer in place, but it started to bubble a little in places and aaron isn't really happy with the result. he's planning to redo the whole veneer part at some point, but it's lovely anyway. and so nice and bright right over the table!

Wonderful! Jade is another happy plant that does not take a lot of tending.
