Steppin' Out? Maybe not.......

I have always been one that is drawn to anything different, or unique. Okay I'll even admit to sometimes even weird stuff. I like a lot of contrast, lots of colors ( especially very bright vibrant colors).  With that said, I have to say making these planters have been so much fun. My hubby has been doing the copper work and as soon as he tells me what he has in mind, I seem to plan the design. They are all one of a kind garden art designs.I  can't wait to see the next planter he designs.

In the meantime let me know what you think of these.

Not Sure I would call this working...

I had no idea how fast time had flown until I saw that my last blog post was over a year ago. It went by so fast. I went to work at a job that I absolutely loved and then walked out over a matter of principal and didn't look back or think twice at least until the next payment was due on my new little car.  After a few weeks,  I decided I knew I had to go to work, but I really just want to plant plants and make pretty containers and crafty things.
My projects this week have been string gardens.

 I have watched tutorials on the web and they are so easy to make, once you start you just can't stop. If this is work, I think I could easily become a workaholic. I found some miniature orchids on sale and mixed those with tricolor sedum and a very fragile looking rosary vine. I mixed some ferns with pink splash polka dot plants and variegated english ivy. Geraniums, petunias, million bells, there are so many varieties to choose from , the possibilities are endless. I found a great tutorial here.

Try one out today. You will be surprised at how fun and easy they can be.

Monday's Motivation

It is no secret that I am really bad about procrastinating. That has to come to an end NOW! We had recently noticed what we thought was a small leak in the roof of our porch. We discovered over the weekend that it wasn't small at all and it has been leaking for some time. I will save you the gory pictorial detail and let it suffice to say, that we will very soon be replacing the roof over our entire addition. The motivation for me is that replacing it won't come cheap and I really, Really! don't want to go back to work. So I have decided that procrastination is a thing of the past for me. I will spend less time putting things off that I have meant to do and more time getting them done. ( "I'm gonna" cannot exist in my vocabulary any longer) I have even gotten off to a good start today.
I listed more items for sale on Ebay and I have also loaded some of my photographic art in my redbubble shop
Tomorrow I am planning to stock my Etsy with my newest jewelry designs and possibly some metal sculptures as well. I simply must get busy, or consider taking a real job. I believe I'd rather get busy.
