Another day spent NOT sewing…jeeze louise…what’s this world coming to!! Life is getting in the way…doesn’t it know that I’m retired and I SHOULD be able to do whatever I want to do!! ;o) Apparently not…!
I just finished watering the garden...every time I water this little guy I marvel at how much I enjoy him! Isn’t he sweet…?
I think he’s a plant stand…? He was kind of boring last year…or should I say a little naked looking…he DOES look a little embarrassed, doesn’t he? But with the help of some chicken wire, soil, moss and some succulent plants…he’s looking more like a turtle!
I was a little worried about him~ left out on the sundeck to weather the winter all alone but he did just fine…
In fact, Rylie thinks he did great while we were away! Look at his back..
Have a Super Saturday and Happy Quilting!
He looks great! I've never seen the purple hens and chickens before! They're cool! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love your turtle. How creative of you to make him a lovely shell! I love hens and chickens.
ReplyDeleteYes, life does get in the way of sewing--even when you are retired. Darn.
He is a gorgeous turtle. How creative you are.
ReplyDeleteI understand, I have been working in the garden and house the last two days. Tonight I will relax and do some stitching. I love your turtle, that is really clever and creative.

Gosh Paulette, he's stunning! A very unusual and beautiful creation!
ReplyDeleteThat is the coolest looking thing! Dear Hubby would love it. He really likes succulents.
ReplyDeleteKnow how you feel about another day NOT sewing. It's really starting to bother me. Think the family would notice if I went AWOL for a couple of hours?
Oh I love him! How fun! No sewing going on here either, but soon, very soon! ;-) Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like this before and I absolutely LOVE him! What a great job you did making him "come alive"! I am in awe of how great he looks! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love him...so cute....

I'm sorry Paulette but i think that turtle is quite bizarre. Are you familiar with Dr Who, the english television series? I think he could get an acting job. Or with some fine tuning, it could be the main character in a children's book. I think there are great possibilities here. Your turtle is unique.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! He is adorable! I love it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour turtle is growing in nicely! I bet you'd like my garden creatures too. I have a giraffe frame and an alligator. The alligator has the moss and I grow hens and chicks in it. The giraffe is not stuffed with any moss, but I grow ivy on that.
ReplyDeleteHoww cool is that!! And I know someone else who would love that too - *lol* Anton says "hi" ;o)
ReplyDeleteHe is totally amazing!!! Wow, I've never seen such beautiful succulents - well done green thumb!!
