Stuff

June had been here.

Months had passed, no visible entry I made. And today I aml!!

Been doing great myself here. Did some projects and lots of gardening. I also made another new set of  curtains for my pergola.

Project that I am so proud to have found and really enjoy it. I stumble on some word, Hypertufa. When I came across of that word, I thought to myself what a foolish name of something. Well, out of my curiousity, I googled it and hold and behold, it's a lot of fun thing to do. I love to do anything with my , well, bare hands. And so I put myself to work.

Rectangular hypertufa. 
I made myself a frame for this one. I want to be able to make multiple of same size but different colors. This is the first one from that frame. I realized the more I worked with the mixtures the better I can figure out for better results. So, I made 3 out of it and of course it had to sit for a day in it. Making mistakes will only make you better in the long haul. One of the 3 that I made, crumbled to pieces when husband tried to move it from where it was drying. Many things I noted not to do. Painting was more clossing the project.

Hypertufa full of zinnias with lobella
I did not paint this one. For sure, the smaller project you choose or container, the better it is doing it.


This is another project that had to be done. And I enjoyed every bit doing it. That's the post for my green grapes that kind of dressed up my backyard/swimming pool area.

Buying stuff at Joann Fabric is never boring. The fabric I picked for my pergola is same thing from the first one I made, Muslin. It's easy to sew and cutting wasn't an issue but measuring and trying to make it same length was more of a challenge but I did it and got it up for Father's Day weekend, 2013.

I have so many projects in line and are waiting for perfect timing.
