I've been wanting to get more plants for my room, so I went on a succulent hunt last week visiting about 5 different places looking for them. I did finally find them but it took a lot longer then planned. I hope these last longer than the last ones...cause I don't have much of a green thumb but I can try dammit.
I also wanted to make one of my 7" Munnys into a planter, so I decided to create one that had an old wooden sign/barrel look to it. I only cut my self a few times with the box cutter while working on it, and painting didn't take as long as I thought. Here are some pics of the finished planter and part of the process:
These are the other plants I picked up and planted in the other planters I had.
I thought I would try some air plants to see how they fair.
And this is a planter I made from a reclaimed wood box I pulled from a dumpster a few years back.... yes I do dumpster dive on occasion.
And they lived happily ever after on my window sill.... hopefully.

And my grandmother passed away on Friday and I'm still mostly in shock from it. I wouldn't say it was sudden because the whole family knew that she wouldn't be around for much longer. But going to the care home to check up on her after getting a bunch of conflicting phone calls only to have the nurse just come out and say she passed 10 mins before I got there was a little sudden. And my parents were in a different province at the time so everything kinda fell on me for a bit....but it all got sorted out in the end. That all aside....... I will miss her very much and I think it will take some time for it to sink in that she is actually gone.
