PURDY plants !!

Does anyone else have this plant fever !!!?  I have been obsessed with plants lately. Plant decor gives such an effortless and relaxing vibe to any room.  Although I’ll be honest so far I have about only a 30% survival with all my plants. Not exactly a green thumb!! I’m thinking I probably over-water them but who knows maybe it’s something else I’ll have to do some research and match it up with the symptoms my plants are having.

NEAR DEATH!!

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure I know what happened to this plant (photo below)… 🙁 Our little furry cuddle Bug took a few to many pisses in this pot and the plant got root rot. Never knew cats did that until I got one. lol  So in my effort to save It I dug it up and tried replanting it into a new pot. Sad thing is when I bought it it was huge and now it seems like more and more leaves are dying and I’m loosing the plant. Finger crossed hope this helps.  After re-potting it I decided to cheer it up with some fresh white paint. Pretty pot = pretty plant EHH?! 😀

TO OUR AWESOME MOMS

With Love dedicated to all you wonderful and beautiful Mothers out there. Thank the Lord for our awesome moms. I know that any Mother would love a plant any time or day.  Make it mean that much more this year. Create her a sentimental gift that will last forever not just materialistically but whole-heartedly.   Like the wise saying says.. ” it’s the thought that counts”. !! (gift her with her favorite plant in a sentimental pot..PS. don’t forget to sign the bottom with a special note and your autograph.)  😀  TAG ME ON INSTAGRAM… Can’t wait to see those purdy plants 😀

This poor baby looks so sad. I hope it survives. 🙁

What you’ll need to get those even half circles

This DIY is pretty self explanatory. It’s more of an Idea rather then a DIY but for those of you wondering I figured I’d pop in a quick tutorial. 😀

You’ll need

smallish Paint brush

chalk

white paint (any kind will work… I couldn’t find my acryclic craft paint so I used Olegs white paint from his kids paint set)

measuring tape

I started off by marking every two inches with chalk and then had to change it to 1 and 3/4 inches because my last half circle measured 1′ which would be way to noticeable I wanted them as even as possible. Oh yeh for a second there.. I thought I could hide it in the back but then I realized that was the pretty side of my plant. 😀 AHH So go ahead and mess with your chalk adding dots then you’ll connect the dots. 😀 As easy as that.

Once I had my dots in place I connected the dots by drawing half circles. You can make a stencil out of card stock for this  but it seemed easy enough to freehand.

Off I went. Creating my curly little beauties. 😀

I did end up giving them a second coat. It was a bit to sheer with one coat. Wasn’t that easy?

‘

Yep it’s officially my favorite pot…That is until I make another one to add to my collection 😀

Purdy plant overload. 😀  That pretty Persian red rug was a special surprise from my hubby.  He knows I love all things Vintage and even when garage saleing he thinks of me.. What a Sweetheart.. (thanks my love)

Here’s a pretty pin to make your board more Plantiful. 😀
