Where have I been living?? mars??
Comments (26)I suppose you could just paint over the whole thing, glaze and all and then re-glaze. That's what I would do, but you could always use some really fine sandpaper to rough it up where you want to paint it, then paint and glaze. If you don't glaze it after you paint, it will chip and wear away easier. Glazing will make it last longer, & it makes it easier to clean..won't have to worry about the paint coming off. I wouldn't use spray paint, I'd brush the paint on. That pot in my pic was a glazed hideous green color. I didn't rough it up, and I never got around to glazing it. Just plain craft paint. Right now it's in my basement with a passi in it..paint chipped off a little cuz it was outside all summer. ANother fun lil project for spring, paint it again when I repot the passi. I'll glaze it this time, lol. I think if you painted the saucer the same color blue as the cup it wouldn't look right..just my opinion. It'd be too much of the one color...ya know? Maybe a lighter or darker blue though....See Moreso what HAVE i been doing if i am hiring folks to do stuff for me
Comments (9)You all are so kind Mary- that huge shrub is a rhody.. starting to bloom right now- let's pray all this rain doesnt dash it all to bits this year! I hate that. Gotta Garden.. yes- I am goign to try the larger rocks when i get a chance :) You all can notice the difference? I look at these pics and think- gosh for all that work- it doenst show much of a change! :( Msscarlet- thank you for thinking my home is pretty. It's a little hosue- but i think it's kinda cute.. and i hope i get the cottagey feel across. I hear what you're saying about that blue spruce that blocks the view. it will only get bigger too... but here's the thing.. getting rid of that ONE might not make a difference- as you cna see in the pic- there is a HUGE one next to it and and even bigger one next to that one!!! haha. at first i hated them but I am rather attached to them now.. and this small one is the only one i can attempt to decorate for christmas. haha PLUS- there is actually a VAST amount of space betwee that spruce and the first corner bed by the house.. the angle the photo was taken at it straight one.. but coming from the other direction yu can actually see th ewhoel house.. i'll try to take different shtos for you guys and you can tell me what you think. Now Gladno1.. yours is the silliest question..hahahakeep bermuda grass out of my beds? You make me laugh!are you kidding me? what do you think i do all spring- march to may!! I dig out all the bermuda grass and re-edge my gardens.. it's horrendous. if anyone knows any trick- please tell me.. but i'm with you gladno.. this stuff is eveil. the only good thing is that it requires no water and stays short in summer and crowds out the weeds. however- it is EATING my driveway too.. can you believe it??!!! now you know why i need hired help right? all my energy goes into keepig bermuda grass out of my beds. haha...See MoreSo here is what I have been up to
Comments (7)It's going to be lovely, M! You are taking your time and doing it right, and it will pay off in the end. I have some Indian hawthorne along one wall of my house that was there when I moved in. I thought it was boring and planned to take it out, but it has now filled out nicely, and looks pretty, and best of all, it has had not one shred of maintenance or care from me. That tells me it is a plant it and forget it kind of shrub, and in some areas, that's just what you want. I think you'll be happy with yours. Keep us posted with new pics as things start filling in. It will be fun to watch it all grow! Marcia...See MoreI have been staying calm so far !
Comments (13)I'm starting to get frustrated. Winter is hanging on this year. Normally I've been out cleaning up the beds by mid-March. This year temps are running 10-20 degrees below normal, and when the ground isn't covered with snow, it's a muddy mess. More of the same is forecast for the next week. Oh, well, it can't last forever. By August I'll be whining about the heat and wishing for 20 degrees below normal and mud. It's just so exciting, wondering if this will be the year some of the hostas leap. Oh, man - if that's my idea of big excitement, I must be one of the most boring people on earth....See Morelynn_1965
