Santowski Farm

It has been so much fun actually growing our own food!  I think it is ridiculously awesome to eat something that I grew in my backyard.  This has been a good year for our garden, and here is the latest update:

I don't do bell peppers, but Nick loves them!  This plant is crazy, you can see all of the peppers growing everywhere.  It has gotten so heavy that it was falling over.

Nick has been dying to grow even one ear of corn.  Well, we got 6!  He was so excited, and I have to admit it is rather amazing that we actually grew corn.  It's good too!

On another note, I grew some flowers from seeds!  It has been lots of fun watching them grow and bloom.  I promise they look better in person!

Throw some paint on it...

I am by no means an artist!  However, I love to paint.  One day Nick just said here, handed me a canvas, and said just try it.  I love that man, and I have been painting since.  It is a fun hobby, so relaxing, and I thoroughly enjoy it.  Everything I do is completely abstract.  It is a fun way to decorate because I get to use the perfect colors and combinations to match any room.  Here are few of my creations:

This is in our master bathroom.  The next one I did when I lived on the second floor at my apartment complex.  Nick and I had a blast squeezing paint from my balcony onto the canvas on the ground.  It is now in my 'eclectic' laundry room, but was originally in my apartment bedroom.

Here are a couple more that were for Nick's apartment, but are now in the previously mentioned laundry room.

Finally, I am practicing something for my sister-in-law.  I didn't want to actually put it on stretched canvas until I had a chance to figure out what exactly I was doing.  So, here is my spread in the living room...

Painting is definitely a hobby of mine now, and I love it!
