Beaded Flowerbed, Plants, and Coffee

 Last yr at this time I started
to weed through craft stuff to do
away with. 
I was not making jewelry anymore
so I sold and gave away
several containers of
beads. Now I wished I
had not done that.

I have been wanting to make
one of these, so I bought some
beads and I had necklaces that
I would not wear anymore so 
I took some of them apart.

This is a metal whisk, I took
wire cutters to it to open
the loops. Strung beads,
curled the end of the wire on 
the whisk around when I 
was finished beading and 
stuck it in the garden.


Just fun and some extra color.

Speaking of color...
My three brand new 
Hydrangea bushes are 
doing great!

They are pink.

Julie gave me a chive plant.
Has a purple flower.

Did you know you can eat the 
flower? I did not but I tried it
and it has the best onion taste...
only it took me forever to get
the taste out of my mouth. I bet
they are amazing cooked
up in something.
I used toothpaste, mints and gum
and could not get that taste gone...
I ended up putting peppermint
essential oils on my tongue!


I have noticed that most of
my plants bloom...
PURPLE!

My Lambs Ear is blooming.


Can't remember what this is...put
now it even has small 
purple blooms.


Here that plant is in 
my guitar.


I was at TN Tiny Weddings
assisting at a really tiny
wedding and while we
waited for the guest I 
took some shots.



Look, a TN Tiny Critter!


A frog.

Hoping you are enjoying your week,

Funny how we want what we tossed two weeks later. I do that too.

Love the Tiny Weddings grounds. So beautiful.

Have a fabulous day, Pam. Scritches to the furbabes. ♥

I love the chive flower but you are right -- they are strong! Best used IN something! You adapted whisk is very cute!

Pam, that little beaded whisk looks cute in your garden. Very clever idea. Your hydrangeas are blooming nicely. I just planted some mini roses, and I saw one pink bloom open up. You always take the prettiest flower photos, Pam. Oh, that tiny frog - I sometimes hear the sound of a frog at night, but have yet to see it in the yard. Love your pink coffee cup. : )

That is exactly why I have a hard time throwing away any craft supplies. I'm sure I'll need them right after I do. I love the beaded garden art.
My hydrangea isn't looking too good this year, I think the frost got it. I never know what color blooms I'll get on mine. They seem to change from year to year and some years I have multiple colors on the same bush.

You can't tell us you gave away your craft supplies only to need them later. This is why people don't get rid of their craft supplies. We're only convinced to give them away when we're assured we will never use them again...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Coffee Table Redo

Image
Morning all. Couple weeks ago I found this at a neighbors home put out on the side of the  road. Loaded it up in my Prius. It was heavy and LONG.  Standing it up next to me it comes to my shoulders and I am 5'2. My daughter Amber had told me just that week that she needed a coffee table. I think it was meant to be! Basic maple with a traditional  look and a formica top. that you can't do much with. So after checking with my daughter to be sure size would not be a problem I got to work. I built a frame. My thoughts were that if I made a frame and attached wood to that I could slip it right over the top of the existing table top.  Oops....forgot a step... before making the frame I spray painted the base in an ivory color.  Now with that step added in I  move on to what it looks like with the wood attached  to my frame. It slipped right over the top ...

Playing Around with the Camera

Image
Its been a while since I played with water.... photographing water that  is.  Not pleased with what I  turned out but.... I played anyway. Went home today to piddle at my house but once I got back I  took the camera out around the yard here at my brothers and got some cool pics... then I came in and played a bit with dried fruit. And not so dried!  haha Decided to play with Lori's perfume bottles again. Love this shot up against the  tile. We had a couple of good little storms move in today. During one good rain I  went out with a plastic bag over the camera and took this shot. Thanks for stopping in,
