Growing A Vegetable Garden Throughout The Winter

October 18, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

Having a garden is quite rewarding, but there are only a few months out of the year that you can do so, right?  No!  There are certain things that you can grow during the winter or even in colder climates.  You just have to know the proper plants that can tolerate the cold and how to care for them during extreme cold fronts.  This post from Empress of Dirt can show you just how you can keep your garden going all throughout the year.

My Craft Desk Glow Up

I just bought this floral desk pad for my craft workspace, and I honestly can’t stop staring at it—it’s that pretty. I was long overdue for an upgrade. I’d been using one of those standard green self-healing mats from the craft store forever. While they do the job, let’s be real—they’re not exactly inspiring. I found myself feeling a bit “meh” every time I sat down to work, and as someone who lives for colour, texture, and creative energy, that just wasn’t cutting it anymore so I went on an Amazon search.

Enter this gorgeous floral desk pad. From the moment I unrolled it, I was in love. The design is soft and feminine without being too busy—just a lovely, calming mix of vintage florals that fits right in with my “current” creative vibe. Let’s be fair, I may be on a different vibe next month.

It adds a splash of personality to my workspace, and it honestly makes me want to sit down and create. That little shift in mood? Totally worth it.

Functionally, it’s spot on. The surface is smooth and easy to work on—perfect for my laptop, sketching, journaling, or even placing my cutting tools when I’m working on papercrafts. The anti-slip base keeps everything in place, even when I’m sliding papers or tools around. It’s generously sized, too, which means I don’t feel cramped while I work. It is not a self-healing mat, so for that you will need something else. 

If you’re like me and your desk is not just a workspace but your creative sanctuary, this pad is such a beautiful upgrade. It’s the kind of little detail that sparks joy every single time I walk into my studio. Whether you’re crafting, journaling, designing, or even just using it as a stylish mousepad, I couldn’t recommend it more. This one’s a keeper!
