For the front deck......

Earth hour,  8.30 pm on Saturday Night - candles lit, lights off!

This is my favorite Dragon! I have a

nice little collection building :)  

Anyway.. this is not what my blog is about is it.. onward......

I've been wanting to deal with my wheelie bin for a while, and had some coasters (see earlier posts) I needed a use for.  But I had this little idea in mind, and it didn't dawn on me till today that I could use them for this project.. I pulled them apart... and...

Made a little trellis.....

Anyway, I put this together for the trellis and fern.. and built the planter -  and grubbed up the wheelie bin, and burnt the chipped off bit (my wheelie bin is actually burnt,so figured it might be a good idea to soften a sharp edge)

 To fill the planter, I used (omg lol?) some air drying clay so the trellis would set in it.. then covered it in glue and added from my front garden some ultra fine pine bark.  I'm pretty happy with the end result, it is what I had pictured in my mind :))

It was SO refreshing to be able to actually do something for ME instead of the family for a day!  I hope to have many more days like this.. chores were left undone.. who cares! :P

Oh dear :(

Things don't always go as planned.  I took some rec leave from work and busied myself 'de-hoarding', and relaxing.. and didn't get ANYTHING done on my mini project.  Well.. this weekend I hope to achieve something - even if it's just ONE tiny thing I get completed.  Not sure what yet...

 I got a new position at work, so am dead tired, I now start work at 4am which means a divided sleep - the new job is very physical and if I don't 'keep moving' it will ruin this old body completely LOL - my aim now is to keep up the physical work over the weekend so I don't seize up!

Dead tired tonight and it's only 7pm - will get a good night's sleep and hope that tomorrow, I can do things *I* want to do instead of what I have to do... a day for me..  *fingers crossed*
