Thank you, Chickee. I wish everyone a very special day!

You all will love my Mother's Day gift - a concrete bench to mosaic! Tomorrow we go shopping. After 9 months of house renovations we finally are getting to the yard. One of my plans has been to make a memorial garden for my sister that I lost to breast cancer (at age 38). SOOO while we working in the yard I told my husband, no flowers for MD, just a concrete bench for Mother's Day so I could mosaic it. YEAH, he listened!

my homemade earthbox....what do you think
Q
Comments (4)
I think your design is very attractive. Much more so than the rubbermaid totes so commonly used. The thing about wicking chambers is that surprisingly little gets into the water reservoir. I filled a commercial earthbox with 100% turface to see how it would wick water (quite well). If you aren't familiar with turface, it is fired clay pieces around the size of BBs, some smaller, some larger. Anyway, the wicking chambers on the EB have open sections far larger than the turface and the aeration screen has holes much larger as well. There was almost no Turface in the water reservoir. The trick is to put the potting mix in moist/wet so it sticks to itself. Once the box is filled the mix goes nowhere. If you are super concerned then use window screen (or your coffee filter idea), but I promise you it isn't necessary. Just put the mix in moist. It also won't hurt to use the coffee filter so go ahead to get that peace of mind, but it really isn't necessary even though I totally understand how it seems like it would be.

Happy Mother's Day, indeed! Even those of you ladies with no two-legged children are nurturing moms to your plants and your furbabies, so YOU, TOO!! And Sumala, that is the most gorgeous thing! I've never seen a hibiscus like that. Thanks for the virtual bouquet! Marcia

Happy Mothers Day to my mom,

Lovely pictures, all of them. Jasdip, I feel like I know your mom, after seeing the picture when she was sick, and hearing so much about her zippy and fun personality :) Alisande, your mom looks like Julie Andrews! Gazania, my mom still wouldn't dream of leaving the house without earrings that match her outfit. She rarely leaves these days and takes forever to get dressed, but the woman is still put together when she does! I'm so lucky to still have her here and know this is a hard day for many--you have my sympathy, especially you this year, Raven.

My day was filled with an annual sporting event that you'd think would be dads only... But every mom was there today. Where else would we be? I'm in the age group where my teen kids know I'm there for them, but are distancing themselves from me, as teenagers do. Today, every mom and dad I passed said "Happy Mother's Day!" as I did to them. I've never heard that phrase uttered so often. It's like we were in a special club that recognized one another, because we all know we are there for our kids, and it's just going to take a few more years before our kids fully appreciate it. My favorite story was from a mom who's son had just returned home from his freshman year away at college. Her parting words to me were, "Be patient. They'll appreciate you some day." Love my kids, and love being their mom. Warm wishes to those of you thinking of your moms, and Holly-Kay, condolences to your DH's parents.

Likewise everyone!

My DD is spending Mother's Day with her Grandmother for the first time. She lives 3 hours away. So happy they are together today as they are like two peas in a pod. Otherwise my mother would be alone. Sending my daughter over was my gift to her - she has everything else one could posssibly have. I feel good! They'll both have a great day.

Happy Mother's day to you all.

I got the familial obligation out of the way (went for lunch at mother-in-law's) and now it's into the studio to work.

My dear son got me a gift certificate to my favorite stained glass store and my hubby got me coffee and chocolate. . . I am well and truly loved!

Had a wonderful weekend - gifts, country dancing, patio bbq party, more country dancing, patio brunch, and then the storm passed and the guest quarters cleanup begins today.

it was a fun day for me, here..
the two oldest daughters got this funky, funny welded dancing lady for the garden..
she is cut with a plasma cutter and welded to a base that bounces and jiggles in the wind..lol
she has two outstretched arms and one leg is kicking up!

they found her at the farmers' market, downtown and they said it just 'screamed 'MOM' to them..lol

my oldest son took his van and picked up a really nice patio table..the rectangular one, with hole in center for an umbrella. he hauled that to the house and that's my work table, for in front of the window in the front room.

other fun things were going on and the weather was holding for the entire weekend..can't ask for any better than that!

It was a great weekend for me too. I got to meet Maria (shrty411) and her DH on Saturday when I went to her garage sale. My daughter and I bought several things and Maria gave us a "mosaicer's discount" LOL

Then my DH and kids got me a double barrel glass tumbler, an economy-grade tile saw and they are also going to get me a grinder as soon as I figure out which one I want!!! Any help on what kind to get? I think I am going to have to go back through the old posts to get some information to help me decide. I've been hinting big time for the tumbler (you know leaving the Harbor Freight sale paper out and it just happened to be turned to the page with the tumbler on it, etc...) so I kinda figured they would get it for me but I never expected the grinder too! After I opened the tumbler my DS showed me the sale paper from Harbor Frieght and pointed out the same terra cotta fountain that someone (can't find the darn post to say who it was) recently bought along with their tumbler and said, "Wouldn't this be cool to mosaic mom?" Guess I'm training them well, huh?

I'm already dropping hints about a ring saw for my birthday/Christmas gift...snicker, snicker

I was treated to lunch at the country club, it was a wonderful buffet. I rode in the cart while they golfed afterward. They gave me a $100 gift certificate from Hobby Lobby. Wish they had the tumblers!

I hope you all had a great day ! I have one son - and you know how boys can be on remembering stuff like that. Now he has a girlfriend that "helped" him remember ... LOL They both came to vist - brought gifts - but the best gift of all was his girlfriend hugging me and wishing me a happy mother's day ... gulp ... I'm still choked up ...

Craft_Lady, How nice of your family to honor your hobby! I have an Inland Wizling grinder. I bought it second hand from an art teacher and am thrilled with it. I don't have much comparison to offer you but I would suggest you get one that will hold 2 grinders on it - a large one on the bottom and small one on the top. I buy the twofers grinder bits (you get 2 in one pack) and have been happy with them.

Lilym, be sure to get Hobby Lobby's coupons online before you hit the store. You sure can have some fun!

slow, the only ones I saw at the one near me is a child's tumbler, didn't look very good. I try to remember to do the coupon thing, I like the 40% off coupon.

Happy Moms day!!
