Long ago. In a garden far far away… #ai #aiart #finalfantasy
Our client wanted to create a path in their garden using Yorkstone Crazy Paving. They decided to go with our Waterfoot Crazy Paving range as they loved the unique colouring of buff, orange and purple tones.
Every year I love to discover new flowers and tour the local nurseries. Here are my top four spring flowers blooming now in our garden. Late spring is almost our summer here in Southern California. The flowers are all blooming like crazy. Come summer the heat makes our garden stall so we savor the color and being in the garden now.
Funny, Swearing, and Unique Garden Gnomes! Yard gnomes are already funny, but our yard gnomes are weird, unexpected, unique, and some even offensive! Drive your neighbors and HOA crazy!
We love agaves--big, little, soft, spiny. Our enormous specimens are putting on a big show and absolutely blooming like crazy! Seeing the plants flower gives new meaning to a sculpture in the "XERIC - MIX: PLANTS, PATTERNS, AND STICKS" garden designed by Hill & Dale Landscapes. See the resemblance? All About Aga
Apart from a couple of days & nights of the wind howling down the chimney, it's been a quiet week this week. The weather has settled down again, it's actually quite sunny today - well, sort of, when it's not cloudy. I've just been out to check the bird feeder and make sure it's got enough in it, I swear the birds around here are lucky they can get off the ground let alone fly - that's at least 12 fat balls & two lots of mealworm they've gone through since Thursdays & I've just filled it again! Yesterday it was like a scene from "The Birds". When Jack went out for a nose around the garden they scattered. They then started gathering on the old telephone lines, in the trees and on roof top aerials. Once the dog came back in the birds started coming back and were queueing up to get at the feeder - then the squabbling started as to who was next - what a racket! If they are like this in the warm weather I think I better get well stocked up for the winter. It's only been about 3 months since we started trying to persuade our teenage son to get a haircut, I'd been threatening to get him a couple of barrettes to keep his hair out his eyes! Yesterday, he finally gave in! He has been asked to give a presentation on the "Career Ready" programme he's been taking part in for the last year or so. It's to be given at a reception for new participants, local employers & various VIPs at a local 5 Star hotel so he needs to look the part! Oh, and it's school photo time - he's to be in three photos: solo, class & the Senior Prefect Team. We don't have a photo of him in that school uniform & he's been there over 5 years! He says he's camera shy but I'm hoping I'll have something for the family album. Sketch Challenge When I saw the sketch for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge I decided that as it was a simple sketch I should perhaps make a card that was also something quite simple. There was a stamp in Crafty Impressions "In the Dog House" set that I had been puzzling over how it could be used so I decided to have a little play with that, and came up with this - I think this is the quickest card I've ever made!: UPDATE Thank you Kim for the Honorable Mention in this week's Challenge! I Used Cardstock White 300gsm - Fabriano Black 300gsm - PayPer Box Other Colours - American Crafts Dies & Stamps Tim Holtz Bird Crazy, Crazy Cats, Crazy Dogs - Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Bird Crazy, Crazy Cats, Crazy Dogs - Sizzix Thinlits "In the Dog House" Dog - Crafty Inspirations Inks Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Ranger Smokey Grey - Memento Midnight Blue - Versafine Onyx Black - Versafine Bird Crazy, Crazy Cats, Crazy Dogs I'd ordered a couple of new sets of Dyan Reavely stamps but although only one set, "Ugh, People!" has arrived it's still been time to play. I do like them using them with the Tim Holtz Crazy sets - only two complete for now: I still had some of my coloured Crazy Dog die cuts to use up & decided to team them with some backgrounds I'd put away for future use:
I think we've all dreamt of celebrating our nuptials in a dreamy garden-like setting. I mean, let's face it, gardens make for one crazy gorgeous place to kick off your newly married status. And wh...

So I've been back home for a bit over a week now and I've been enjoying cooking in our kitchen again. It's finally starting to warm up and our garden is getting so green. My mother has been going a bit crazy with foraging around our garden for edible weeds and plants - just today…
Zucchini season is in full swing here in Maine. We've been pulling them out of our garden like crazy. I love it when I can walk out back and pick free
After returning from our recent trips away there were some interesting crops to collect from the garden. If there is something in the garden more beautiful than cream coloured borlotti beans, speckled with scarlet, in their scarlet pods speckled with cream, then I have yet to find it. Then there is the collection of crazy…
It's been wonderfully fragrant in our garden these past few weeks; the lilies are in bloom! That's Lilium 'Black Beauty' seen above. Lilium speciosum rubrum Lilium ‘Muscadet’ A tiger lily I planted our first spring. Honestly I think it looks a little silly here by the front porch. It produces bulbils like crazy which I've planted all over. No scent on…
Continuing with my light and quick summer dishes: This year we got a bit more serious than usual about our garden, and planted three zucchini plants. If you have a garden with zucchinis, you know that sometime around midsummer they start to produce babies like crazy. We've had a rather cold and rainy summer here up until now, but this week our three innocent looking zucchini
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to move. You name it and I will go. I still remember researching apartments in New York City my freshman and sophomore years of college. I have no clue how in the world I was planning to afford it but that was just a minor
Hello! I wanted to make a Thank You card for my sister, who recently did something very special for my family (but mostly for me - LOL!). I thought a spring-themed card would be nice and it gave me an excuse to use my recently-acquired TH Flower Garden rubber stamps, along with one of the…
