Wednesday Write Up

 


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.

Wednesday Write Up--Thursday's Version

 


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.

Other Uses for Terra Cotta Pots

 


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.
