I'm back! But the biggest news is: SCHOOL'S OUT!! So nice to have some time off. Let's get caught up...shall we?
I don't know about where you are but here in the KC area it has been HOT! Pretty miserable. :(
Early in the month, Mr. Ken had a day off so I took off too. We picked up flowers at a couple of garden centers and stopped at a public garden east of the Country Club Plaza.
Such a beautiful garden. The caretakers change the flowers and plants for the seasons.
More fun for these two.
We went to the ballet and watched the production Peter Pan with the Kansas City Ballet. So fun. Before the performance the director and one of the Peter's gave a talk about the performance, they talked about the music and what to listen for, how the characters were played and what to watch for. So glad we went in to hear these "hints".
Before school was out one of coworkers and a good friend became a first time Grandma. I made this lap blanket for her beautiful granddaughter. It is one of those no sew fleece pieces. I saw this particular one on Pinterest. I watched the video several times before and during the making process. She loved it.
Going back two posts, I tried the tip about using post as props. Works really well. I painted a board that I am using to make a sign for our bedroom (which is still in progress but will be done soon). That's it for now, hope everyone is doing well. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Posting today instead of yesterday because I was a little busy. Last night I had the honor of being invited AND attending the high school graduation of a former student! This young man has Autism and when he was in my class he kept us on our toes. :) He loved fire hydrants and could tell you where they were located around the city, he went through a Richard Scarry faze and he could access a computer like nobody's business. Fast forward to yesterday, through hard work, family and school support he was able to graduate. I am soooo proud of him! Going to graduation reminded me why I do my job, some days I wonder if I still have the stuff it takes and last night validated that I DO HAVE THE STUFF!! What a wonderful event. ~Keep on Dreaming~
Hello, I am back! Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! Do you use Terra Cotta pots when planting in the Spring? Do you have a plethora of them? Here are some ideas for uses of the over flow. Build a cake stand: Glue a 10" saucer to the bottom of a 4" pot. Spray paint a fun color and seal with clay pot sealer. Container for just cleaned produce: Place your fresh picked produce in the pot, wash, rinse and let drain. Garden Tool Storage: Fill pot with sand, place tools inside pot. They will be at your ready when you need one. Paint project elevator: Balance wood or trim on two pots, as you paint the sides will easily accessible. Make a twine dispenser: Place a ball of twine/string in the pot. Thread one end through the drain hole to prevent tangles. **I like this idea but the pot sits on the twine/string, I would thing it would be hard to get the length of string you need without having to move the pot around. Did you know? Terra Cotta, the most common type of flower pot is Italian for "Baked Earth." There you have it new uses for those extra pots. ~Keep on Dreaming~
