New Fiction

This is a new book you might like.  It is a little "romancy" for me, but very sweet.  She is 96 and using a computer to write her memories and skype, but it's fiction so.....

What I bought at the craft fair

This is a ROCK! Painted by Michelle Maddox.  He is just a small one about 8 inches, but she has all types of animals and all sizes, sells at D & L Garden Center also.  I passed on the snakes but fell in love with the kitty.  I think she is extremely talented.

April read

If you read Arthur Trulov by Elizabeth Berg, you will like this one. 

Making a "dirt bag".

 Pick up some old nylons at the thrift store....

 Tie a knot in one end

 Stuff with ever how much potting mix you want the bag to be.... tie the other end

try to have a stem on the plant ...I trimmed this one off some.  Just an inch is best.

Poke a hole in the bag with a pencil or toothpick and insert your plant and water.  You could add as many plants as you want to cover the entire bag.  Rachel at Graye's Greenhouse said to set it aside and forget it while it sets roots.  The ones we made at the class were so pretty, she had flats of tiny plants of various succulents for us to choose from.  It was a fun day.  And not rocket science.

PJ's Plant Poke

What's in the picture...PJ's darling little plant poke.  Had to show it off somehow so I covered a little can with jute and lace, made a nylon sock ball to hold the dirt for the plant (that came from my yard).
We learned how to make the nylon "dirt bags" when we went to the class at Graye's Greenhouse.

What do you think ladies?  Hope your day is the best!
