Clay Pot Gal
contest winner icon
My good friend Andrea, lives in an apartment. Outside her door is a place she can put a decoration or plant. She had one that "disappeared". She went looking and found it on the floor above her. DH wanted to make this to replace it for her.

The creeping charlie hat is in a separate container that she can take out to water. The base is a clay saucer filled with colored tumbled glass and marbles that we glue in. The bottom pot is filled with sand for weight. The face pot has a dowel inserted through to the sand and to tie the small rope for the arms. It is a little over a foot tall, maybe 14-16 inches including the plant and artificial flowers.

She liked it so much she is not putting it outside the door, but on her kitchen counter so she can see it every day and remember "how much we spoil her". We are the ones who are blessed to have her friendship in our lives.

A Day in the Park (Brockville, Ontario)
This is a park we go to often. It is a great place to run around or just sit under a tree and read a book! It is great for hot days. There are so many trees to provide shade and the scenery is nice.

Gardening Friend- Praying Mantis (Roan Mountain, TN)
It is none other than the predatorial praying mantis. They only eat what they catch. They will gladly take a fly you have just swatted though.

This seems to be a male of the species, judging by the width of it's abdomen.

I have to say, that whenever I see these in my garden, I am very happy!
