It’s not been too long ago that I mentioned my mystery plant, and I was so happy when Vanillalotus figured out for me what it was.  I had been wondering for years.  I had come close to identifying it, but not quite. 

The plant is Cassia obtusifolia and this picture is to show you how tall […]

What are we if we don’t have dreams?
One of my dreams is my mosaic art: to have a lively mosaic business in the midst of my perennial garden.  I want a little rustic workshop to house my workbench and tools.  It needs to have a wood stove in it to keep me warm in winter, and of course […]

Right now, this mosaic piece is my favorite.  When the newness wears off, I guess another will take its place as #1, but for now I love this the best.  I am using it as a sweater chest.  My dresser and closet are full, so this is a good little cupboard for the sweaters that […]

I really love my little garden sign.  Since my birdbaths and plants are listed for sale in some local resources, I wanted people to know they are at the right place should they come by.  The sign is not that big, but it is so cute!  It will also be visible to those who walk by. 

Many of […]

That is just the only way to title this post!  I have been busy all day getting ready for the big craft show on Saturday.  This show will be so much fun.  The theme is colonial times, so we’ll be dressed in long dresses and  bonnets, but I’ll still have to have my flip-flops.  That’s where […]

Some of the birdbaths I make are pretty small in size.  I call these smaller mosaic birdbaths “butterfly baths” because they seem to be just right for insects and butterflies.  Yes, butterflies love water in the garden, too!

Actually, I was thrilled this morning to see a large dragonfly in the garden. 
This bath will be grouted tomorrow.

It was love at first sight!  I was in one of my favorite stores - GW Boutique (GoodWill ha ha) - and I saw it.  A little end table that someone had primed and painted pink.  I could just picture this table with a mosaic top and sitting at my bedside.  I dragged it to the register and […]

I finished grouting some of the flower pots today.  I’ll have to do the rest tomorrow.  I was just too tired to do it all today.  Once you see what else I did, you’ll know why! 

You can see the pots on the left are lighter in color than on the right.  As the grout dries […]

I spent several hours this afternoon working on mosaic flower pots.  It was so relaxing.  Doesn’t feel like work!

Above you can see the pots sitting out in the sun where they dried pretty quickly.

After a while, I brought them in from the sun and put them on my potting bench — just in case it […]

I wanted to show you my newest mosaic birdbath.  I just finished it up last night.

I love the colors and I love the way the little angel sits on the side. 

Thank you for looking!
