You should really visit <a href="http://dearphotograph.com/">dearphotograph.com</a> . It's very interesting to see the old pictures and the things people say about them. I looked for a couple to use and I stopped by the old house where we grew up. The first time I drove by to do this project, there were kids everywhere and I felt like I was a creeper! I kept driving and went to the store so I'd have a little time to pluck up my courage.<br />
<br />
When I came back, the kids were all inside so I walked up to the door and knocked on it. A young lady came to the door and I thought it might be a young wife because the kids I had seen earlier were relatively young. I told her I lived there while I was growing up and I wanted to take a picture of the house but I didn't want them to be creeped out by a stranger taking pictures of their home. I told her I'd just be across the street and she was fine with that. I went and took my picture...<br />

Forever grateful, Bek </span></span></h6></td></tr>
</tbody></table>I guess you see where this is going...I walked over to the side yard to look at the old maple tree and a lady walked over to talk to me. It turns out the person I spoke to is her oldest that still lives there. She has two that have moved out already. I showed her my old pictures and we chatted a bit. She told me that the pine tree from the other side yard was moved to this yard as it got bigger. I was pleased to hear that the trees we had brought from the old cabin at Summit were still alive and growing. you can just see the top of that tree at the top of the picture I'm holding in this picture. IT'S HUGE!<br />
<br />
She told me that one of the poles in the yard said "music club" when they moved in and the kids loved the idea that they started a music club too. Isn't that neat? I told her there were six kids in the house while we grew up and found out that she has five kids. They are the same family that moved in right after us. They have a connection to us in that as they rennovated they found bits and pieces left behind by us kids in goofy places like behind the baseboard heaters.<br />
<br />
She invited me to come in and look around and I originally declined because I did not want to impose. We talked a little more and she said I really should see how different it is now. I think she's very proud of the work they have done on the house and she mentioned how she wishes she could see the inside of her grandmother's house that she used to visit when she was a child. How could I say no? So in Katie and I went to look at the inside of the house where I grew up.<br />
<br />
The wall between the kitchen and the living room is gone, as we had noticed and I think it actually makes the place seem even smaller. I never thought that possible but, yeah, it really does! They knocked down the wall right by the front door and turned half of that tiny little office into a closet that is accessible through the hallway. The other half is a mudroom. It is a neat idea but I think they need to change the direction that the door opens for it to really work. There is no more carpet in the house anywhere. She said when they pulled it up there was so much dust under it that they went in another direction. I laughed because, yeah, that carpet was there for a good long time. Makes sense that there was a lot of dust there.<br />
<br />
The other upstairs bedroom is virtually the same. The other huge change would be that they redid the upstairs bathroom so that the tub isn't under the window anymore. It occupies the space that was once a closet with sliding mirror doors. I bet this is all hard to imagine. I would have loved to take pictures but she was so kind to let me see the house, even though it was not perfectly clean that I couldn't imagine asking to take pictures. The toilet is now under the window in that bathroom and the sink is virtually in the same place.<br />
<br />
Walking down the stairs was different! The took out the door and made the wall in the hallway between the stairs and the hall into a half wall. The rooms in the downstairs are the same size as before. The bathroom is the same size but since her husband is a plumber they managed to get the tub off that pedestal and at floor level. Remember the mirrors on the wall with the little shelf under it? gone. The change makes it feel a lot smaller to me.<br />
<br />
The bedroom at the bottom of the stairs is the same except the floor is not carpeted. They have painted a red and white checkerboard design on the floor. It's very cute. I had no idea how small these rooms would seem as an adult. LOL you never know until you feel it. I think it is such a surprise to me because I lived there while I was fully grown so you would think that I would remember the scale of the rooms. No, I remember the times that I enjoyed so much and those happened to be times when I was a little squirt. Everything in the world was huge because I was so small.<br />
<br />
The utility room that had the furnace in it now opens right out to the open area between the room at the bottom of the stairs and the two rooms that used to be a rec room.<br />
<br />
The room that is under the kitchen is now painted....ready for it? BLACK. LOL it belongs to a nine year old boy. He has stars and planets painted in glow in the dark paint on the walls and he strung white Christmas lights back and forth across the entire ceiling which has no more acoustic tile. it's bare 2x4s. Somehow, this totally works and I liked it a lot. The door to the utility room is gone and there is a little closet now. The other room is basically just the same.<br />
<br />
The area between the two rooms and the room at the bottom of the stairs was a room for 3 kids at one point she said. They were all very young so she put them all together in that room. I can tell because the walls are painted all kinds of bright colors.<br />
<br />
The deck has seen a lot of wear. some of the boards are starting to wear through and it needs a paint. I can tell it's well loved. There is a hot tub on it and she's got a firepit on there. I didn't think of it at the time but that might not be terribly wise. She has chickens in the back yard. It's a hoot! She seems to have 3 of them and they have a little coop and everything. There's a mass of flowers in all kinds of pots. I feel like if we lived next door to them, I'd like them very much. She knows all the neighbors. She loves her house and plans to stay there even after the kids leave.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to see that another family has grown and loved that house as much as I loved growing up there. I'm sure having a couple of wonderful and loving parents had a lot to do with it. There are so many happy memories there but taking a walk though the old place was a crazy thing. I walked through and felt happiness that Mom and Dad got to move on. I'm sure that it would have been a place they wouldn't have wanted to stay once the kids were gone. Another proof that things happen because they are supposed to.<br />
<br />
As I prepared to leave, I think she would have let me sit there and talk to her all evening. She was so very nice. I walked down the stairs of the deck and into the side yard, which has no fence to separate it from the backyard any longer. I pulled out the second picture I brought and snapped my last picture and felt the nice grass that I turned cartwheels on as a kid. Then I left that house feeling like I was a very lucky lady who got to remember the best of my childhood in the home where it happened.<br />

That's the garden as of TODAY~! OMG, I took pictures and posted them the same day. It's a miracle! It's especially amazing because I did the grocery shopping and usually that leaves me almost too lazy to breathe.Bekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957958795629499524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840946821380012026.post-85659059066089694852011-07-02T23:11:00.000-07:002011-07-03T00:07:28.060-07:00This is what I've been up to for the last month!I've been very worn out ever since that blizzard of activity around my birthday and I guess this blog has paid the price.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rainbow Dash "softie" that I threw together for Katie's birthday. It took about 4 days to finish and she was watching me the whole time, circling like a shark. I told her it was for a needy child and she started crying! It was two days before her birthday and it really was for her so I told her that she is, indeed, the needy child that is far from home and needs a friend, then I let her take it and sleep with it every night with the agreement that on her birthday, I'm wrapping it up because it was meant to be her present. She was really happy with that arrangement. </td></tr>

</tbody></table>And that's what I've been up to, more or less! It's been a good month. I love being in Alaska again.Bekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957958795629499524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840946821380012026.post-41465440549162898972011-06-03T12:15:00.000-07:002011-06-03T12:31:12.713-07:00Yay for words!Okay, time for words!<br />
First things first. Get a piece of fabric. I'm using a nice stiff outdoor fabric that I got from the value section! If you use something more like cotton quilting fabric, you might want to use some interfacing to stiffen it up.<br />
You will also need an iron, an ironing board, D-rings, and quilt binding (the cotton kind that is about 3/4 inch wide), a needle and some thread.<br />
<br />
I folded the fabric in half. It was a squarish shape to start. I didn't bother measuring or making sure it was really a perfect square because, after all, I was just going to fill it with dirt, right? So fold it in half and iron the crease in. I forgot to take a picture of that part...<br />
<br />
Next, open the fabric up and fold the edges to line up with the crease you just ironed. Basically, you are dividing the fabric into fourths from top to bottom. Iron those creases in, too. Like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LaQ-Q4GdgnocS4LUcnZXzknj4yLytr4jGIQqug5rOgpsu5Rrn1pElEhcnJrT0jNcDerhOiD4BOgRy7Hq2G7HGEVSw8VkH0DDVERYcCOsyZtEvHug_ontQGU2QbfrjiXxChvzNuev850/s1600/tut1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LaQ-Q4GdgnocS4LUcnZXzknj4yLytr4jGIQqug5rOgpsu5Rrn1pElEhcnJrT0jNcDerhOiD4BOgRy7Hq2G7HGEVSw8VkH0DDVERYcCOsyZtEvHug_ontQGU2QbfrjiXxChvzNuev850/s320/tut1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Bring your ironed edges into the middle and iron that. Now your fabric is marked into eighths and you didn't even have to measure a thing. Nice!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrCtk569ALQtrtlf8SeN-1ia7-tmURyWPEHjH0m4JeV9iAZ5lLQhRrU7E9kk-Ezdk6jQzqeMOCza1Ri-xd_25perjViy4VsQaUv6ScvgamWuoyOoUkfd-a37I0_7sTYxs5qqpg8vDAjU/s1600/tut2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrCtk569ALQtrtlf8SeN-1ia7-tmURyWPEHjH0m4JeV9iAZ5lLQhRrU7E9kk-Ezdk6jQzqeMOCza1Ri-xd_25perjViy4VsQaUv6ScvgamWuoyOoUkfd-a37I0_7sTYxs5qqpg8vDAjU/s320/tut2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Here is how I marked out the short sides of my box. Fold the short edges towards the middle and try to make the folded section square. You want the top of the folded section to be as long as the side. This will not be perfect, but it's okay. Make it perfect if you want but I didn't want to measure anything. You'll see that I trimmed the right folded edge because the folds are not perfect. I took the picture right before I trimmed the right. I'm lazy but I do want it to look mostly decent LOL <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiegL4chD_4-VIt_UFOQWVeKJpIje_H57HNrvzsVz_a3wn7G8BRytLIc6SmHDS250gBuSEY4e8knZIWLcLXZH-cSwQZiVPFSyubf98G-Y1TGcfOvmcfMuGcAHt1dV0PpiikfeiJ7QLFI/s1600/tut3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiegL4chD_4-VIt_UFOQWVeKJpIje_H57HNrvzsVz_a3wn7G8BRytLIc6SmHDS250gBuSEY4e8knZIWLcLXZH-cSwQZiVPFSyubf98G-Y1TGcfOvmcfMuGcAHt1dV0PpiikfeiJ7QLFI/s320/tut3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Now here's the part that's a little confusing to explain. Unfold the square. The top eighth and the bottom eighth get folded back towards the middle. This is so I didn't have to finish the edges of my box. They just fold right in towards the middle and get ironed that way. When you fill your box the unfinished edge will be under the soil so it won't matter that they are ugly. Here's a picture where I'm trying to show you what it looks like but my ironing board is too skinny:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih5IXle9Cy3v2XkYl4sHNci6W1Sp6kXHDbRuW9MFbkCf0XHs9mqHzSE18rVUZThi6i5SOqpevqiKrDY5ENv3vNZLIkbYMw55jCKVVBr-27k5ar2_NuCyX16A42O148eTVPM93djckIkGY/s1600/tut4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih5IXle9Cy3v2XkYl4sHNci6W1Sp6kXHDbRuW9MFbkCf0XHs9mqHzSE18rVUZThi6i5SOqpevqiKrDY5ENv3vNZLIkbYMw55jCKVVBr-27k5ar2_NuCyX16A42O148eTVPM93djckIkGY/s320/tut4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Here's another attempt at showing what I'm talking about:<br />

So you see that there are long sides with folded edges, a bottom, short sides and a square area that will be come our corners:<br />

You are making a square into a triangle here:<br />

This is the phrase of the day. It will not be perfect, but it's okay. No trimming crooked edges this time though. Iron your triangle's crease:<br />

Try to catch all of the edges of the different layers of fabric. You can use a machine (if it's tough enough) or a serger, or you can do like me and just double thread a needle and use that. I chose a blanket stitch because it helps close up some of the raw edges you will see. You can use a whip stitch or maybe just a straight stitch. Whatever you use, remember it has to be strong enough to bear the load of flowers and dirt! <br />

I cut about 2" pieces of the binding and threaded it through my ring. Then I whipstitched the heck out of it. I put one on each end and one in the middle to help control sagging when the box is full:<br />

I'm thinking about renaming this blog, "The Lazy Crafter." I don't like to measure and by the time I've made the project and taken pictures, then edited the pictures, I'm out of steam! So here are the pictures and the words will be added tomorrow.<br />

Here's how I made my fabric planter today, in somewhat confusing pictures:<br />

I've just been working on getting better from a cold and playing video games and playing on the computer...etc. I've got it pretty nice right now. I see Bill practically everyday, even if it's just to say, "Hi!" over the fence. That's terrific. I get to see Deb at least once a week, which I love. Life is good.<br />

</tbody></table>I decided that I was tired of crocheting and I saw a post on a craft blog about weaving with a cardboard loom. It looked like my kind of craft, so I'm weaving some squares for Special Olympics scarves. I think it will be a nice one when I'm done. Here is the post that I saw...<a href="http://gingerbreadsnowflakes.com/node/352">Portable vacation saori weaving by Gingerbread Snow Flakes</a>. I left a comment about how I think it would work for weaving squares for scarves and she contacted other friends that weave and linked me to enough info to make some very decent squares! Thanks Pam! You Rock. <br />

</tbody></table>Sidewalk Chalk is fabulous. I'm a grown-up and I still love to use the stuff. TeeCea gave us some chalk for Denali and Katie was salivating over it so Auntie gave it to her because Denali is not lacking sidewalk chalk. We decided to draw all over the driveway. We didn't last very long because it's hard to kneel on concrete for every long when you have pooped out knees like I do, but we did our best to make some temporary art.<br />

</tbody></table>I love sidewalk chalk. Speaking of sidewalk chalk, why don't you go and learn how to make some at home? I saw a great blog post about it at <a href="http://belladia.typepad.com/crafty_crow/2009/07/sidewalk-chalk.html">The Crafty Crow</a>. That's one of my favorite sites to read for crafty and simple ideas. Maybe someday I will get around to trying this one!<br />

I'll be sure to post more soon.Bekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957958795629499524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840946821380012026.post-14752213506391828422011-05-22T23:14:00.000-07:002011-05-22T23:18:10.427-07:00Yesterday, back at the ranch.Okay, so it's not a ranch. Yesterday I decided I felt like having a little BBQ with the chicken I had marinated the night before. Caribbean Jerk marinade, jealous? Well, you should be ... it's delicious! I found some fresh corn in the freezer and raided it. I probably should have thawed it before I put it on the grill but I'm not really big on thinking ahead. It still was edible, if a little undercooked. Next time I'll try to plan ahead. The grill made the move with no leaks and it's working like a champ.<br />

</tbody></table>While I was out in the yard making chicken, I decided to take a few yard pics for Mom and Dad to see. It's getting so green around here and it's just lovely! The trees are getting leafier and leafier. The color of the new leaves is so pretty. I'm happy to be here to see it before I head off to a new adventure in Korea.<br />

Deb came into town and decided to hang with us instead of go to a movie. I was so happy! She took us to DQ and she took some good pictures there. Look at me and my girl. She never did know when to smile for the camera. <br />

I must have taken too long to answer because I missed the call. I was awake and i had my phone in hand so I lay there and looked at facebook statuses until I saw one from Husband that said, "<span class="messageBody">Five PCS choices and all are KOREA!!!! WTF!?!" I didn't really react to that. Didn't think he was joking, didn't panic, didn't process this at all. I just opened my phone and called home. There were 4 choices where he would have to go for a year and one choice where there was concurrent travel but it's for two years. It wasn't a very tough choice for me. We should all go together. There have been enough separations. If we can avoid one, that's what we should do.<br /><br />So the short version is we are supposed to go to Korea, Camp Carroll (in the southern region of S. Korea) sometime around October of this year. I say sometime because this is the Army and they are not real big on doing the first thing that they say. I also read that there can be delays because sometimes they can not accommodate everyone in the family right away. I'm not sure how this works but it doesn't matter. The Army is what it is.<br /><br />I was pretty pleased at first because I thought we were going to Camp Casey, which is up towards the demilitarized zone. They have an arts and crafts center there that has pottery! How awesome! But, as it turns out, Camp Casey was one of the options for the tour where he goes alone. Poop. I guess I'll just have to satisfy my artistic notions in a different manner. I know I can't bring my wheel because it's wired for the states. The electric system in Korea is 220 and the wheel is useless without the kiln. Can't use that indoors and it also pulls as much electric as a clothes dryer or electric oven.<br /><br />It would seem that pottery is one of those things in my life that I love, but it will simply come and go with no rhyme or reason. There will be time for it again when I'm back in the states.<br /><br />Deb found some videos on you tube of the area we will be going to. It looks pretty and I'm sure I'll like it enough.<br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PonUxGZMXFk" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />This kind of required function is surely in my near future...<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RILuLQhCTLs" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />Looks like there is no shortage of sushi there!<br /><br />Here's a taste of the news reports that AFN offers up. I'm not excited for that but whatevs. I've done AFN before and I can do it again!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uisaGQiaMks" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe><br /><br />It's pretty cool that they have a long arm machine....at Yongsan! I will recap at this point by saying we won't be THERE. LOL<br /><br />So, beyond this news, there isn't much going on here. I caught a cold, BOOO! It's not bad yet so that's good. Deb, Mark and Denali came into town today and I got to watch Denali for a while. It was fun because Katie had let her have my Nintendo DS and we let her try out all of my games to see if she liked any of them. She learned how to make a sandwich in Cooking Mama and it was so cute! She even made sure to play it after Debs got back so she could show her that she knows how to make a sandwich on the DS. Adorable!<br /><br />We took turns playing with one of Katie's toys that is a Cuckoo bird and I made the mistake of pretending it's scary. LOL We woke each other up until she was tired of that game. Then I did "this little piggy" with her toes and she really really LOVED IT! So we did some variations, like this little piggy checked her email and this one played DS and this little piggy cried WEE WEE WEE all the way to Grandma's new house! Then she made sure to tell me that Momma drove the piggy in the car to grandma's house and it was fun! We also decided that WEE WEE WEE is how the piggy laughs because this is so much FUN! Good Stuff.<br /><br />Hope your day was nice too!<br /></span>Bekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957958795629499524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840946821380012026.post-9639332389070440122011-05-17T14:19:00.000-07:002011-05-17T14:23:35.693-07:00Shirt for Dad<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-5tR4TgAXtkbv9aRRIgXRD8lGExg56kAjqepNN8ovKmS0o2lQ1wKmnuxfoauxQ6rKXLb9F-08WXx_xDQi9OldnIZqbiMtvnR3lTKBZhdb5Fy6-rniezjqoBxZBxzVqNvWokSHVCahZ0/s1600/shirt.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 436px; height: 342px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-5tR4TgAXtkbv9aRRIgXRD8lGExg56kAjqepNN8ovKmS0o2lQ1wKmnuxfoauxQ6rKXLb9F-08WXx_xDQi9OldnIZqbiMtvnR3lTKBZhdb5Fy6-rniezjqoBxZBxzVqNvWokSHVCahZ0/s320/shirt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607798628399644626" border="0" /></a><br />I got a text from Mom today that Dad needs more shirts, so I got on facebook and found some pics of him, Mom, his kids and as many grandkids as I could fit in there.

Got up early to take Mom's car to Cline's so they could tell me what's going on with that ABS light that keeps coming on. They didn't tell me any prices and made us sit there for 2 hours while they took care of at least 2 cars that showed up after mine. We got the list of what's wrong and a bill for $41. Just to look. I would have liked to know about this cost prior to them looking at the car. The old blood sugar was pretty low by then so I was angry and weepy. It was stupid so I came home and my wonderful brother Bill cheered me up. He has that effect on me. We played our games, him on the wii and me on the computer and chatted off and on. I kept getting into watching his game and exclaiming when his character bought the farm like it was me playing. LOL good times.<br /><br />I started thinking about that place in the mall where you paint ceramics because Bill and I wanted to do that together while I'm here so I looked up their website. They had a section where you could virtually paint things and Kiddo got really mad at it so I hauled her to the real store and we painted some ceramics. I did a trivet and she settled on a rabbit because there were no cats. She was so mad she tried to get me to leave! I said no and we worked it out.<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZWGDTG66Fg1DYvvHfv0KIyqXxMRFsMZGpF4KPWpYmwUT6pvD_WF68MHggRA1QAUpaaTLQFVtQpU_5Oz3QciApGpacUPhTfKJg17folNdzxQ79RNIaG_7x_CNhLuMyWwMMsXCHguSXqs/s1600/DSCF0032_sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfZWGDTG66Fg1DYvvHfv0KIyqXxMRFsMZGpF4KPWpYmwUT6pvD_WF68MHggRA1QAUpaaTLQFVtQpU_5Oz3QciApGpacUPhTfKJg17folNdzxQ79RNIaG_7x_CNhLuMyWwMMsXCHguSXqs/s320/DSCF0032_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607572011889404722" border="0" /></a>Here she is working on her bunny.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSlAf539DZd6SGRuxAHqOrteS82fw_SbDAmBansQAbjMIp9z_ROvdps1coD8wduFkghEHVVrobIDQkRNx3V36UC1Jo7x-z8OuHAWJjlR5IWyb6ppt4N1NYBXdKnuxyYSbU53hKtyWWY7k/s1600/DSCF0031_sm.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSlAf539DZd6SGRuxAHqOrteS82fw_SbDAmBansQAbjMIp9z_ROvdps1coD8wduFkghEHVVrobIDQkRNx3V36UC1Jo7x-z8OuHAWJjlR5IWyb6ppt4N1NYBXdKnuxyYSbU53hKtyWWY7k/s320/DSCF0031_sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607572014078603938" border="0" /></a>There's my trivet.

I didn't make the glaze as thick as they recommended because I wanted it to be pale and watercolor-y. I hope the brush strokes show and look fab. We won't see if it worked for about 2 weeks. Hey Mom, this trivet is for you, BTW.<br /><br />SO, gardens. I admit, it's been a long while since I took a stab at taking living things and making them live in containers but I've been thinking about it and I'm ready to try again. In Alaska, I kind of get how to do this... as I say that I realize that the plants are still outside and I forgot to bring them in last night! Ahhh!

I gave them a nice soak a couple of days ago and they are so happy.<br />I didn't actually put the plants outdoors yesterday, which leads me to believe Bill carried them out with his bum wrist. Bill, I waggle my finger at you, naughty boy! Rest that Wrist!<br /><br />So I saw some neat planters on one of my favorite blogs when I was back in Georgia. You can bet I'm not gardening in that place. I'll have a heat stroke and then the Army will decide to move us just as it gets really pretty. This is my luck. Here in Alaska with Bill next door, how could I <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> think of gardens? That guy knows how to make a person want some flowers! So here is a link to the awesome planters(click the picture):<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/outdoor/inspiration-gallery-container-window-box-gardens-145324"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmkhGFlpXTMpoDxher0IBJqJhd4Z6BJDXKPlRGyv7QBfKXSXStQg3ex0lfvX5DaQgK__j6O-NT9HxedRQfyb3FtL1gKPwlLibTLXRtGi0s2F_pxxuFmGbLXNEr_QIysM8R15TiidIDEc0/s320/containerwindowbox01_rect540.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607582462840883106" border="0" /></a>I like the woolly pockets but I don't like the idea of buying them I could make that and it would be whatever design I wanted! I think they would tend to drip, which makes me want to hang them on the fence outside and have long lines of plants on the wood fence...*dreams*<br />I also like the tea tins. Very cute but wouldn't that leave rust rings?<br />Next I liked this idea of using upside-down bottles to line your garden edge. Colorful but kinda dangerous for people with kids so I'll just look right now.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/recycled-wine-bottle-garden-border-felder-rushing-146780"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 245px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcHfRGiSUaHwqtmtjf3GijRakZwJkK0Gq5vbVXrduhI9XxXQmU5omYNSiaLlk0e_lPKLBS-HGi6s4DC7751CYxcdcJcabFbsVC5VPD79so26JPNHpE7ct31jDV-hhZElSjh4HNb5wFx3o/s320/26felder_t607_rect540.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607584154562245730" border="0" /></a>These bottles remind me of pillar candles.

It was my kiddo, a younger girl that I didn't know (she sure looooved to talk), and myself working on this.
