20120529 Hanging Plants

It is hard to express how amazing this new find is!
Imagine filling up the grilles in this balcony with different plants.
I really do not have enough space for smaller pots
and not enough soil to fill bigger pots.

So one can just imagine the thrill at
 how much soil and water I can save with these little plastic bottles.
No more worries of  water and soil going down the drain.
Besides, These plants can get in and out of the house
with no effort at all.

Think of people to be grateful for

20120528 Hanging

Inspired by http://skinnylaminx.com/2011/01/18/hanging-succulent-garden/
I tried to make something last night and came up with
adding some key chains and old keys to the empty bottles.

Who knows what more would come out of this.

20120526 My Bookmark

   I am crazy about Pinterest lately.  Oh the joy of browsing through entries more than a weekly or a monthly magazine can offer and at no cost at all.  Not one to write notes because I never get to find where I kept them, nor one to keep journals that I may regret writing, I decided to just keep things listed here in blogger and pin up things I love on my Pinterest board.  I am only left with what I had posted in facebook, blogger and multiply when my laptop went down, so I'll just have to take advantage of this internet connections.

First entry in my bookmark, modge podge.  It feels like I would soon be making a lot more creative things with the trash I've collected for years using this glue.
