I love the Brugs SO much that I want to wear them close to my heart lol

Oh ...GOOD MORNING :-)

So for the first time in my life I did a Iron transfer! Let me tell you, it is not easy. Especially when you do a black T shirt and you are using the stuff for a WHITE one. Needless to say you could not see the print roflmao.

What to do what to do? Oh I had that paper at least for 15 years . That is how long ago I wanted to try that iron on transfer stuff hahahaha The paper is still good too as you will see in the picture. Well being who I am and not trying to waste anything. Especially a brand new T shirt. I run out and buy the iron on transfer stuff for BLACK backgrounds lol. But oh me oh my, life would be so much easier if I would just read the small print. roflmao

So the 2nd transfer picture I ironed over the first was no success because I was suppose to take of the hard paper first. For anybody who did that before, you know what I mean lol.

Finally I got it off from the T shirt and it was one hell of a sticky situation when I tried to place the THIRD picture over the other 2 layers to cover them up.

In the end I did it and only had to color one little white corner that stuck out from the framed picture...BLACK with a marker roflmao and dying here it is so funny NOW!!

Then I wear it around the house and my son comes over and say, Mom you know it is not centered right? Of course I know it is not centered right. The left boob is hanging out more ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I did get the white T shirt right :-)

Most of the time I am an organic gardner but not over iris borers. When I spot them I dig up the clump and cut out all rotted areas and trim the leaves to healthy parts and fungicide them. It postpones bloom for a year with some irises but not others. I do not dig up all the clumps not showing a problem however for most seem healthy and usually I do not get the borers back again for many years. What is bothering me this year is slugs and snails all over the iris. Never had that problem before and that might be from rain, rain, rain so I stomp, stomp, stomp the offenders.

OK, Ms. FLAGTRUCK: Yes, I cut darts in the orange peel shape, the diameter is approx. 14", and it's temporarily on the pedestal cuz it was handy when I wanted to clean off my work table. The pedestal I'm thinking w/be better for it is four of the little bucket-shaped pieces, end-to-end as shown. I dumped left over grout and mortar, and finally filled one. Think I'll make three more, mortar them together, and make a pedestal for the sphere. Had I known what I w/use this for, I'd have left a hole for rebar. An idea for yet another pedestal in the making. I'm gonna clean up that junk pile soon. Worked in the yard a couple hrs. this morn, after cleaning up the basin. Waiting for Tracy to put in the drain so I can test it for holding water. sphere

Thanks everyone! You are all too kind. Kay, I don't think of Exquisitely Subversive as short here in my garden, I know it is taller than some around it (like Light of the World, which is to the right of it). The picture of it was taken by me standing on the deck, so ES may look lower than it is really is.

Well, I've had better days! (Warning: medical/blood/general TMI)

Wow, I can imagine how fearful you were to go under general anesthesia, especially with hemorrhaging and dropping blood pressure! But thankfully you were at the hospital and in good hands. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, which may have been a fetus medically, but was of course, a potential child, to you and your husband. The fact that you did get pregnant naturally, is a good sign. It means that you are not infertile, so I'd think your chances of a successful pregnancy, whether natural or through IVF, will be great, since you have proof that you were able to conceive. Take the time you need to recover physically and emotionally, then look forward to planning your 'rainbow baby,' with all our best wishes!

Oh Lucy, that is so funny, but I've got to give you credit -- you tried it for the first time, and it worked! Let me get this straight, you did two T-shirts? Where's the pix of the off-centered one? BTW, tell your son not all designs are perfectly centered, how boring life would be!!!

Susan I would not mind it at all hahahahahaha

Eloise would you like to see the black one ON or off on me? roflmao

Deb just something I thought of by coming up with a new way of doing T shirts for the grandkids. Of course they will NOT get brugs on theirs hahahahahaha

Dorothy no LIVE brugs for me until they start growing again :-( But it was one of mine that flowered as a tiny plant.

Theresa I wish I could sleep through the night just once! But after feeding the hungry lions lol at 3 am, I went back to bed and did sleep a little later today.

My husband totally ruined them by feeding them when HE usually gets up lol

OH Staples sells them iron on sheets.
