A Couple of Updates...

I have so many projects going ~ in so many different stages of completion (just the way I must like it, as that's the way I've always done things)...that I thought I'd take a few photos this evening to remind myself that it really does feel good to actually finish something! (Still just "nudging" myself, none of these are actually done...yet ~ ;^) ~ ♥





I'm getting there, though!

Here are my tuberose bulbs from last year...I emptied the pot they were in ~ in the garage all winter ~ and I think the bulbs are fine...(fingers crossed) ~ they have quadrupled in size, though, from the little ones I bought last year...I could probably divide them, but I think I will leave them "as is" this year.

Here, I'm finally working on the little house for my fairy garden... I had Mr. B cut the top off a second gourd as I wanted a "roof" that was a little taller, and also wider, giving a bit of an over-hang. I also had him cut off the top of the first gourd so I could fill it with sand (partially) for stability.

Here I am, playing again! (My favorite thing to do! I've decided to let my Inner Child take over at least 90% of the time, now...I should have done this sooner)...really, though, this was so much messy fun! I worked outside, the weather was perfect, and the petunias near me smelled SOOO good!

I've had these BIG pinecones for some time, and decided that the individual scales (I wanted to call them "petals", but I looked it up...) would make good shingles. I used some old scissors to trim the length a little, and then started hot-glueing, fitting them together somewhat like they were on the pinecone.

I had to stop, though, as it was beginning to get dark and damp ~ I could have continued in the house, but thought better of yet another mess inside...



To be continued tomorrow evening!

Happy Thursday, everyone!
