Hey buddies,
I was just bragging about these sweet kitties made by Hope over here, but wanted to show you them here also. She designed and created them 100% by herself, other than me having to find her a needle. Cute huh? She made the orange one for me in the early hours of the morning after we put her to bed.(sneaky sneaky but oh so sweet).
I am off to the doctor's because I am feeling very dizzy but I will be back to work on my Arts A Flutter dead line.
Have a great day,
Hugs

Hey buddies,
While I have a minute I wanted to share with you my latest gardening creation.
I am really interested in succulents lately and have been wanting to make a living wreath for years.The urge hit me at midnight to make this version of one~Michael looked a little shocked.ha ha
Since I am a pack rat (and proud of it) I had the perfect basket on hand that was the outgoing mail basket in New York. I like this use much better, and I recycled.
I lined the basket with moistened sheet moss, and added my potting soil. Then I added all of my succulent cuttings, gave it a good misting and happily hung it on the screened porch on the hanger mum gave me for my birthday last year.
Voila!!!
*As humid as it is here in South Carolina, I still have to mist this daily so the moss doesn't dry out, so far so good:)~~~Important Note- I just read, to soak in a tub of water for an hour every 4 weeks or when the back feels light and dry. misting causes a shallow root system,gasp!! I'll keep you posted!!
If you make one or a version of it please send me links or pictures I would love to see.
Off to have breakfast with sleepyhead Hope.
Hugs,
Helena
Hey buddies,
We are waiting anxiously for the mailman to bring Michael's new computer, so I don't have to get up before the birds to have my turn:) Of all times for Michael to be such a dedicated student! LOL
Last week Matt was on vacation, so we took a day and visited Charleston, and our favorite candy shop, with the free samples of gelato, fudge, and pralines~heaven huh?
We didn't go to Indigo ,this visit. It is my favorite Charleston gift shop and definitely worth checking out. it was so HOT and we were parked quite a ways away, and our box of Pralines were calling our names. Always a nice treat for the ride home!
Which reminds me, I'm supposed to be working out right now.
I will leave you with a link to my shop on the Arts A Flutter website, and go stalk the mailman for Michael's computer.
Have a great day
Hugs,
Helena
