Moss Rock Zen Garnden DIY

My brother and his wife had this in their house and it is beautiful...................

It seems that you can pick up rocks and misty water it daily that already have moss on them or you can add it to the rock and water it to grow.   Julie, my brothers wife said that if you blend up yogurt and moss in the blender, that you can simply paint it onto the surface of what you want moss to stick to, and water it to grow, though I have yet to try this method.    Apparently, the yogurt helps the moss to grow.

They got a misty squirt bottle, and keep it in a shaded place in their house where there is moisture and it is flourishing.  I love the creeping jenny coming out of the top.   That is an added bonus. 

I started collecting my rocks yesterday to do this very thing on a much smaller scale.   Excited!

5 Things I made this week snowed in...........

Hand made baby blanket and burp cloths with

bolt left overs from upholstery material.   The burp cloths are sewn with cuts from a towel.

 Linen and Gingham plaid Tea Towels

Two toned Saddle Pad for the horse with a non pilling plaid fleece underside.   I cut out two at once with my bat wing swallow tail design and then

Cut them in half on the swoop to make them two colors.  Then I bind them together with a high fluff cotton batting and finished it off with satin colors opposing brown and red and a double nylon webbing spine for accent and durability.  Turned out pretty nice though not exactly as I had pictured it.

  Here is the one with the other ends of the cuts seeing that this one starts with brown and tapers off with the red.  

  And lastly this week I made two tea towels or dish towels with embroidered material.    They are linen purchased with this embroidery sewn into them.   I could never embroidery something that pretty but it made nice towels.

This is what you get when you driveway is a mile long and your car  is iced in.   I am getting a little stir crazy and not sure what to get into next.    Walking the poodles maybe and figuring it out.
