My daughter gifted me with 2 Calibrachoa hanging plants
while in Georgia and I was able to find 5 more here at home--
I have 7 arches that need hanging plants
which I change out every few years.
She also recommended these hanging plant 'saucers' to hold your plant; this keeps them from losing their water out the bottom of the pot and keeps them from drying out so quickly.
Looking south, these are three of arches
with a bird house with a family of wrens, btw.
Looking north, the other 4 arches and their new plants!
This birdhouse is empty, unfortunately.
After we got home from the shopping trip, I soaked and blocked half of my magnificent round shawl I made many years ago!
I only blocked half because it is too big for my blocking board---
I will re-wet the other half and block it later today.
I wore this to church Sunday and noticed that there were some pulled threads and even one chain broken on the crocheted edge which I repaired before blocking.
I also ran out of pins trying to get everyone of those chains
pulled into points!
Hooray for new flowers! I still love seeing mine every day. :) -Marsel
ReplyDeleteThat is some intense blocking!! And a very pretty shawl. Your hanging baskets are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is stunning! Wow! The hanging baskets look lovely in the arches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful baskets - and that shawl is a stunner!
ReplyDeletei was tempted to get some hanging baskets this year since we have hooks from the previous owners under the eaves but thought better of it since I have so much to water.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is amazing. I hear you about pins and points. I'd forgotten what a chore it is to pull them all out. I don't have the brain cells to do lace anymore but I do miss the magic of blocking.
Your shawl is absolutely gorgeous! The flowers are pretty too.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty plants. And that shawl!!! It's gorgeous. I can't imagine having enough pins to block the entire thing even if you had room.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

Lovely plants and the arches that need those hanging decorations! That shawl is so pretty! I'm glad you could fix the spots you noticed when you wore it to church. Happy hump-day tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I have several hanks of lace, but never found the nerve to use them.
