A Totally Knitted Home
Natural gas commercial
This is so clever. Imagine every surface of your home covered with knitting. Amazing and warm I would imagine. I try to remember that there are people in other parts of the world that are going into colder weather as we are going into our spring mode. This is for the people down under.

WATCH: Epic Forest Time Lapse Shot
WATCH: Discovery’s Epic Forest Time Lapse Shot Two Years In The Making
I never knew that natural history photographers had to be carpenters and engineers too. We just sit on our couches and watch these programs as if they are created by magic. Now you will be able to understand what goes on behind the scenes. I can't wait to see this series. If you are in a hurry you can use the slider to move the film forward and watch the last minute or so. It is like seeing spring happen before your very eyes. Enjoy

Meryl Streep Vanity Fair Cover January
“It’s incredible—I’m 60, and I’m playing the romantic lead in romantic comedies!” Streep says.“Bette Davis is rolling over in her grave.”
Meryl Streep grew up nearby in the Bernardsville / Basking Ridge (New Jersey) area. I have friends that bought her childhood home. When they did some remodeling, my contractor recycled some of the wood from Streep's deck to make a trellis for me at my former residence. I can honestly say that I've painted Meryl Streep lumber. I'm looking forward to seeing her new movie that comes out on Christmas Day It's Complicated because it's about remodeling a kitchen. Steve Martin plays the architect. I think the Vanity Fair issue with her photo on the cover comes out on Wednesday. That should be good too. Magazine credits.

The Story of Stuff [Video] . . .
The New York Times had a feature article about the film and its creator recently that you will also find interesting.
I've had a link on my blog for The Story of Stuff for quite a long time and it makes me happy whenever someone clicks on it. I was especially distressed to learn how much stuff ends up in the land fills due to planned obsolescence. The kitchen industry is now trying to make us all dislike our stainless appliances in favor of colored ones. I will not fall for this. Mine are only 7 years old and they are just fine, thank you very much!
Thanks for stopping by the cottage today for an eye-opening film. I hope you will share it with your friends. ♥Rosemary

The Marshmallow Test [Video] plus some cottage photos . . .
Oh, The Temptation 2 hidden cameras, a bunch of kids with one marshmallow each. A study in self-control, willpower, temptation, the power of one marshmallow and lots of humor. Very cute!
The deep woods beside my house one day last week.
I planted some purple kale in some pots for fall color.
Some of my ferns are beginning to die down.
Others are refusing to give up the ghost. Both photos were taken on the same day.
I have an underground
I scanned this bee from my 19th century Royal Book of Crests.
Thanks for stopping by the cottage for a cute film and some photos. ♥Rosemary
