Hi Georgia, yes my days are often full. The painting of the pots has been very enjoyable. I love crafts. I am painting them all different colours, how did you guess? I had two in shell shapes one is black the other white.
Then I have seven in shapes of wooden barrels I had done four so far in yellow, red, green & blue sadly our severe winter weather killed the Hebe in the blue pot & to top it off the frost got into the pot & the concrete is all crumbling away.
Then I have the one I am working on at the mo which has a flower detail on four corners.
So I want to make sure that it stands out but not certain what colours to do yet? Thinking maybe pale blue (my fav colour) background, green stem & leaves, red flower?
I also have lots of concrete ornaments (Picked up at car boots & from free-cycle etc) All repainted.
My favouite is an old man & an old lady sitting on seperate park benches they are really sweet. I imagine me & dh in years to come sitting on some bench somewhere feeding the squirels.
Prob won't happen as I would love nothing more than to retire down by the sea, I love the sea soooo much!
Another project I started but have not finished (due to lack of spare time, & last years heart op slowing me down) is that I am going to have a white picket fence(made out of old pallets) all round my front garden & get rid of he discusting pungent smelling hedge that is a constant pain keeping tidy.
I have all the new plants in front of the hedge growing nicely , When the fence is ready I am going to pressure wash the roots of the old hedge out(easier than digging) And I am going to plant loads of aubreitia in the clean de weeded soil.It is going to look great.
MY dh then has to make me the wooden archway he has promised (Out of recycled wood from an old work bench.)
Don't think I could cope with your waking & sleeping pattern.lol.
It is horrid & wet here again today, the girls don't seem too worried about it though, still roam about digging in the dirt,occassionally I see them huddle under the shelter I made them from old wooden pallets! It is also where their dust bath is, every now & then I add another bag of sand,& some more mite powder.
It is a battle keeping the cat's out of it though they seem to like using it as kitty litter.
Any way I better stop typing got loads to do today, Take care. Jane & Co.
