Thanks for posting the photo, Dahlia! It's a great wreath!!!!

And that bench. WOW> Didn't you know Dahlia's aren't supposed to fib? You do have artistic-ness in your veins. Now I want to find a bench!

Love the fallen over pots too. Pretty setting.

Your bench is lovely Dahlia, and a great paint job. I did notice a glass of wine nearby so you are all ready to relax. I'm all for seeing pictures, lots of them.

Dahlia, I love your attitude!! I am currently working on a polymer clay mobile for my garden. It looks like something that Mrs. Clancy's first grade class made, but I look at it and think "dang, I am good at primitive art!" Rolling on the floor laughing

I'm waiting for pics too. While looking for my E6000 glue I discovered a few things I could put out in the garden. I think we are our worst critics when it comes to our creations, well in my case anyway. Whistling

I'm working on putting the mobile together now. I am taking step by step pics and when It's ready, will put out a thread for it. I just found out that I put the holes on the wrong side of my mini snakes and will have to make new ones. Live and learn! Grumbling All in all, I am pretty pleased with how it's coming out. It's very colorful, which is what I was aiming for. I love bright, primary colors in my garden to offset natures colors. Smiling

Amen to that Pegi. I hurry up and read the others so I can get over here for the pretties.

Dahlia, you are a complete nut. I was laughing so much and then to add to it, Sharon spewed her tea. Ya'll are fabulous.

Ok, on to paint is not your friend. Rolling on the floor laughing I was working on one of my stackables, copying from someone else's design. Anyway, at the very bottom was a thin line of blue.

I thought to myself, I could set the base on a paper plate and draw a circle around the bottom of it. Then take my blue paint and draw a line of it around the pencil line on the plate and then carefully set the base down on it, wha la, I will have a perfect thin line. NOT! It squished all up in bubbles around the outside edge. So I said to myself again "Well , I hope your proud of your silly self. Just look what you did! You really messed that up". And self agreed wholeheartedly. I just painted a wider line. Not what I wanted, but it worked.
