I reallllllly want this... I saw this over on Heather Bullard's FB page yesterday and have been daydreaming of pretty little herb beds wrapped in wattle. It also has me itching for spring! Love these beds too... I have been scouring the internet for places to buy such panels, but it seems the UK is the only one onboard. I found a how to here, but I really don't have the time, patience or access to enough branches on my property. Anyone have a good source for wattle panels? On the home front, it is school vacation week. Both kids have been fighting a lovely cold that has led to a cough, and now it has landed in their ears. Boo. So to keep myself sane I have made them little beds on the couches, got ON DEMAND going with movies and I am in spring cleaning mode. I am painting and rearranging everything! Here are a few projects I have going... Priming... The big bamboozle is finally getting its day to shine and is going green... It is now the center of attention in the family room. Sadly, anything with a TV on it is the center of attention in our house... It is huge, like 8' long and fits a lot of crap. And the entry is getting zhushed up. Pretty french table going dark, and some art and lighting is about to change... All because I am trapped in the house and hut happy for spring. I hope to have some afters for you by Friday. xo Danika
