My Rainy Day Project

Ez in About Me / My Shops, Musings, carrying on

I love rain.  So much of the time it inspires and invigorates me...but then there are days like today when it's pouring outside and all I want to do is sleep.  Since I can't do that (insert loud sighing sound here) I decided to make a quick project out of potting a pretty succulent I picked up at the store last night.  This sweet little vintage flowerpot has served time as a pencil holder for a couple of years (because it had no drainage holes), but after it broke during our recent move (no more drainage hole problem) I decided it was time for him to fulfill his intended purpose.

A tiny bit of potting soil in the pot and quick gentle loosening of his roots was all it took...and taa-daa!  He's been affectionately named Winston, and is now perched happily on my desk so I can admire him...but he will probably end up outside or in my kitchen or I'll end up with soil all over my keyboard (not good).

Isn't he cute?!  xo Ez
