  • Kabocha is a Japanese pumpkin or squash.
  • The seedlings were given to me in this egg carton. I love the earth-friendliness of the gift.
  • I transplanted the seedlings into small plants until they're ready for larger containers.

Mohair Wrapped Vase

Add a little color and texture to a plain vase or jar by wrapping it in twine or yarn. I chose a pretty pale blue mohair yarn to wrap up this little vase. These would be pretty grouped with different types of yarn and texture.
