Yard and Garden-time to be outside more!!

 

Golden Sedge-I have several clumps of this grass and have been dividing them up and planting in pots to donate to the garden club I belong to. We have an annual plant sale in May so these will be for the sale.

My pond in the backyard. I love the sound of the water splashing all year long. I need to clean it out a bit, there are two fish in there somewhere, hahahaha. I am going to be creating a small waterfall using a really good filter and my pond gets dirty too easily. I will post photos when I get that done.

And this is my second small harvest of asparagus from the garden. I am hoping for more but it just doesn't seem to be growing well. I did find mole tunnels so I am wondering if the moles are eating the roots and that is why I'm not getting a bigger harvest. I will replant more roots next spring and try and get rid of the moles although I have no idea how to do that.

Hope you can enjoy working in outdoors. If you don't have a big yard you can garden in pots!!!

Valentine's Day coaster

Here is my coaster, still need to epoxy it, or maybe I will frame it???

And this is my grandson's little gem he made for his girlfriend. We actually framed this one in time for Valentine's Day!!!

Fun!!!

 

Prepping for Christmas Bazaar

 

I did a little acrylic pouring on tiles for a base for these little christmas trees.

The tall narrow one will be glued to a board and the square 4.25" tile will be in a set of Christmas coasters. 

The coaster is not yet finished. It needs more green dots.

This is total fun, really.😊

Until later, Martha

Fork in the Road

Yes, our town actually has a giant fork in the road. Well, to be truthful, it is on the side of the road. We drove by it the other night and I have to take a photo. 

It is silver but the glow from our brake lights turned it to a beautiful glowing red.

Our claim to fame!!!!

Take care,

and enjoy

Dot Art Cross

I finished this cross!!

I bought the unfinished cross and gray painted board at Walmart

I added some blue paint and then finished the board with a satin varnish.

And the cross I painted black then did some dot art designs and finished with an epoxy resin.

I love the results!!!

Hope you enjoy.

I may be listing this in my Etsy Store soon!!!

 

A new year begins!!

 

With this new year I am finally getting back to my sewing and quilting projects. But, I am also still painting and putting together miniature kits!!! So much fun!

The cross below will eventually be in my Etsy store. It still needs to be mounted to a background!!! 

I love it. It turned out pretty good for my first cross painting!!

Hope you enjoy this beautiful day!!

Thanks for the visit.

It's been a rough summer and fall here!!!!

  This sweet little girl was sick starting in June and through the fall. She saw the vets frequently and only during a 10 hour focal seizure did we learn what was actually happening. 

She was diagnosed with Polycythemia and it was advanced. Now looking back I can see that she was having many symptoms.

The treatment would have been too harsh on this little 4 pound baby girl. I researched it, the vets both told me the same, as did the medical Dr. who I worked with for 24 years.

It still hurts my heart that we made the decision to let her cross that rainbow bridge. I was with her holding her to the end.

I cry daily and it's been over 4 weeks now. But I know we did what was best for her. She was getting so sick almost daily, no energy, would cry. 

Someday, when it's my turn to leave this earthly world, I hope God will allow me to be with her again along with the rest of my family.

I will see you later Dear Bailey, love you my girl 💓🐕💓
