Lovely art with multi-flowered sheep
This is to get you in the mood for Easter! I love these limited edition silk screen prints, they're so cute. They are by a Scottish artist called David Blyth and the prints have been produced in Peacock Visual Arts' workshops in Aberdeen. He's made ten different, very colourful prints with sheep on it and they're also available on ceramic plates (so you can eat your lamb off a lamb ;-). The prints are around £400 each (dimensions 100mm wide x 700mm tall), the plates £50. If you want to see the rest of the prints, have a look here...
Two-Way Drawers of Chest in Rotten Teak Wood
Another expose series, chest of two-way drawers manufactured in rotten/eroded teak wood. Filled the eroded holes with LED and optic fiber lights. Smooth surface mixed with resin.

Roadside stands, silly rabits, frugal pond filter and PINK EYE tea!
I'm guessing these 2 rabbits are not bred. They have been inside for a week and the last possible due date was yesterday. Going to rebreed. I know Don Julio is fertile since the doe we gave to Chris and Lisa (1 acre homestead) gave birth to 9 kits on the 22nd. Being a first time mom, she did not tend to them well and when discovered she gave birth, they were all dead. Which is why these 2 came inside for keeping a closer eye on them.
They do not like to be separated and become agitated when we do, so I let them run together...
Panda's garden is all set and ready to go. She will be tending this patch herself and selling its bounty by our driveway as a "roadside stand" called "Panda's heirloom garden produce". Making the chalkboard sign for her this week.
See the small wood circle to the right in a corner? That is where she is growing her Peace symbol greens, just the spiral in my last post.
She has a bean arch for her snap peas and later rattlesnake pole beans. Space for her tomatoes, patty pan (white scallop flying saucer style) squash, lettuce and herbs. The watermelons (orange flesh) will be grown along the sides and one end. Plus she will have a few 5 gallon buckets to grow extra tomatoes like yellow pear and black cherry. Thinking we may let her grow some other things in a plastic sandbox.
The zip line needs tightened.Despite the high ends, it dips in the middle even for the kids. not very happy with the set up. May need to go out and buy longer cable to direct the zip line elsewhere up to 100 feet away. The kids still like playing on it.
Made a filter for the indoor pond. Very easy to do and it keeps the water so clean and clear. If only you could have seen how it looked when I just had the fountain pump going... I had to clean it all out every few days. we have well water, so everything gets that "salty stain" look.
I used a large index card plastic container with hinged snap lid.Holes were put through it with a flat head screw driver heated on the stove top. Left enough space for the fountain pump to be placed inside with the plastic woven furnace air filter, cut up into squares. The power cord goes out the back where I "hot cut" a flap. Here is a series to show how to do it for your small indoor pond.
And it costs me $4 to make it and have leftover filter for future changes. My fish are just fine with their frugal filter.
There are 2 pond orange fish, 3 wild minnow fish from a stream bed up in Geauga county we brought home last summer, plus an African clawed frog in there. It must work since they are still thriving and doing well. It has been in operaton for about 2 1/2 weeks. Just be sure to rinse that air filter very well BEFORE using it in the filter box. Their may be antibacterial agents on it from the factory.
I have a bad case of pink eye thanks to Lil' man's kindergarten class(got the letter how it is going around the school and I get it the next day), so I need to go apply the chammomile tea compress while its still warm. By the way, I caught his pink eye in it's first day and started the chammomile treatment immediatly. It was gone within 48 hours! Use the tea as warm/hot as you can stand on a washcloth dipped into it. Make sure it is wet well with the chammomile so some will find its way to drip into your eye. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and repeat every 2-3 hours untill it is gone.
Sweet dreams,

A table made of vintage plates
I came across this table from Imu Design, a so-called prototype named 'Plate U'... and isn't it brilliant? I mean, I'm not sure how practical it is (imagine having an animated gossipy chat with your best friend while holding a glass in your hand and then you decide to put down your glass on the table while keeping your eyes on your friend, not looking where the actual holes in the table are... that sort of thing), but it's cool. The frame is made of steel, the plates are "hand-picked" as the designers describe it themselves and I assume they found them in charity shops or on the local flea market.
Put some magic back in the garden!
Try some unusual ways to grow your garden this year. Think about what you have seed for and what you may need for interesting views for the visits in the garden.
How about adding some different colored lettuce in a wide open tub or kiddie pool. Make designs such as a peace symbol (That was Panda's request) or like this "aww" inspiring spiral:
Now think about what climbing veggies or fruits you are going to grow. climbing beans? Cucumbers? Squash? or maybe even some small melons?
I have drooled after the Bean arch I have seen over at Pile o' Melay's for some time now, as many others have. I am using some of the extra fencing we have left from the old animal pen to do just.
Grow some climbing garden food plants over arches. Here is a great pic showing cucumbers at an early stage to give you a better view on how to make one yourself(a pic off the net- not mine):
It does not have to stop there. You could do tepee designs or border a few sides of the large garden with walls of climbing plants.
do not stick to the ordinary straight rows and poles for your garden this year. Get creative and add some interest that wow your friends and family. gardening is an art form in itself. Why not add more interesting forms to it?
My baby brother Army and his Fiance Ms. marine are moving into their first house together down in Texas. So excited to hear she is into gardening and they are interested in my kind of lifestyle. I am putting together some seeds out of my stash to send down to them for their first garden. Along with some printouts of pictures/how to's on some of the things I write about here on my blog such as this one to inspire their creativity. Of course...what is a package from his big sister without some homebaked goodies... I miss that big goober and wish so much he was closer. Maybe Ms. Marine would nudge him north? But of course she has family down there so I would understand if not.
The zipline is up and has enteratined almost every child in our 'hood. The solar pit has still not been dug but I did get all the lumber and such for it's top portion. The tobacco has been seeded. The spanish peanuts and collard seeds are on their way and will be started indoors as soon as they arrive. The 4 lemon and 1 lime dwarf tree will not be shipped out till mid April.
Lil Man's birthday is the 4th so I making him the see saw I posted a few back. Almost done with it. The tiller is acting up and Tractor boy has been so kind trying to figure out what is going on with it.
we are planting more ginger in window box's and i picked up some ale yeast for making ginger ale from scratch.
Rain keeps coming so I guess I best catch up on the indoor chores and activities.
Sweet dreams,

Yes! More before and afters!
Dining room / kitchen
Before

Before
After (with steel handles, tile paint, retro tile stickers and a stick-on blackboard). Still the same kitchen, but we can live with it for now!
It was all very yellow - walls, curtains, tiles, kitchen - when we first moved in and that combined with dark stained wooden windows and doors was just not our cup of tea! Not surprisingly we also got rid of those silly lights dangling oddly from the ceiling (how naff is that?). We initially wanted to get a new kitchen straight away, but with a whole house that needed updating, we decided to wait and just spice it up a little for the time being.
Anyway, I came up with a steel blue/grey colour scheme which works quite well with the colour of the kitchen units. The wooden door knobs were replaced by brushed steel ones. The sticky vinyl flooring in 1980s pattern was swapped for slate-grey laminate. The pendant lights above the table are from Kartell and are the only thing fancy and expensive in this room! The farmhouse chairs came from my parents, the Danish 1960s ones are vintage G-plan chairs (got them for free off Freecycle). The table is made by my dad.
Living room
I also promised to show a before & after of our fire place which was just not looking that great when we first moved in. We wanted to rip the whole thing out and replace it, but my dad suggested painting it in glossy black. We also had the walls and ceiling replastered, the floor boards sanded and varnished and we painted the windows white. The result is quite dramatic, especially with the red wall. Sometimes it all feels a bit too red and overwhelming though, so I may try a different colour on the wall again in the future. But for now, it works.
Before (with my Glenn who seems quite happy about the idea of ripping the ugly fire place out - and everything else)

Mystery LED Lamp in Reclaimed Teak Wood
We called this LED lamp is "Mystery" as when the light is turn on, it seem there's a cave inside it. Crafted from old housewares in teak wood, it used to be a pod for water. The eroded holes are natural made then we cover it with clear resin and tin inlay on hole's side. An exceptional piece of lamp indeed!
