Passivhaus: creating a roadmap to net zero carbon

Also keeping the number of things there low means you can still see everything.. Here’s a little diagram of the basic concept from an overhead view.. Bam!

I sometimes wonder what homework time looks like for the families of the other kids in Kennedy’s class.. Here’s what ours looks like: Juice stained face, half worn-off temporary tattoo and all.. Read more about my perfect moments.I had a great idea.I really love those round rattan place mats that everyone has, but I sometimes have pretty large groups for dinner, so I would want to get about 10 or 12.

With the cost of them, it just didn’t seem like the smartest investment right now..I started thinking about other natural materials that I could use to get a similar look.And guess what I came up with.

Twine of course!.Well, I started by braiding some long pieces and then twisting, hot glueing, and of course burning my fingers repeatedly.

So while it looks like it’s mostly twine, it’s actually about half and half twine and glue.. Well, it seemed simple enough.

But it took a loooooong time.Look how happy those ladies are on the front!

It can’t be that hard if they’re laughing like that!.They also included a whole bunch of goodies for decorating the jars for gifting with my kit.

Bernardin will be selling jar decorating kits at Canadian Tire stores in Canada starting in the fall.That’s how I managed to get my jars looking so cute, in case you were wondering.
