Some happy pug pictures to brighten your day

I love pugs. They are so happy looking and funny looking, a wonderful combination. You should probably get used to pug pictures being on here regularly, because there will be a lot.

How to make a beautiful terrarium

How to make your own terrarium:
                 
I love plants. I have about eight plants in an apartment that should fit four. I just can't help it! Tropicals, succulents, ivy...I've got it all. Terrariums are an excellent way to have your own little personal garden!
Here is my DIY on how to make your own terrarium.

Materials to Purchase

1. The container - i'd recommend either a glass vase or a glass jar.
2. 3,5,or 7 plants (this odd numbered arrangement tends to be more interesting than even numbered arrangements), I personally love succulent gardens with shrubbery and greens, but you can use anything you find beautiful! greens, flowers, herbs, weeds.....
3. potting soil 
4. some stones for around the plants or below the soil (You can pick small stones the size of marbles from your backyard and save a bit of money here)

             

Making the Terrarium

1. Put a one inch layer of stones in the bottom of your terrarium.
2. Fill the container about half full of potting soil
3. Remove the plants from their plastic pots and arrange them in your terrarium. Move this arrangement around looking for something that pleases you.
4. Once you have found an arrangement you like fill in the gaps with soil and tap out any extra.
5. Water with a moderate amount of water.
6. Put the terrarium in a place with moderate to direct sunlight.

            

Caring for your terrarium

A terrarium is really easy to care for. Check on it every day and stick your finger in the soil. If it is dry then water it. Examine the bottom of the terrarium. If there is water among the stones then you should not water it for a few days.  - make sure if you are using succulents that you let it dry out completely before watering it! Keeping those types of plants constantly wet or damp will kill it,

Terrariums make for the best gifts ! Teachers, family, friends... anyone. Who wouldn't love to get their own personal garden? It definatly beats any regular plant.


Tada! There you have it, your very own terrarium.

Traveler's Tree at Faerie Fest

Can I just say, that finding out about faerie fest was one of the greatest enlightenment I've ever had? People dressing up as fairies, trolls, elves, mermaids, knights and everything in between. There was jousting and vendors and a pub called the trolls feet. I even had a knight in shining armor ask for my number, he didn't call.

Traveler's Tree is my baby! I make handcrafted jewelry and sell on etsy, but I also do a lot of festivals during the summer!

This is my booth ! I sold my jewelry, Traveler's Tree and got to meet all sorts of fun people. There was even a lady going around with a barrel of pickles yelling, "Pickles! Get your pickles! Thick, juicy pickles." 

I was a really hot day, I couldn't even imagine what it was like for that person in the dragon costume.

                
I love henna so much. it takes a while of sitting and even longer for it to dry! Nothings worse then sitting 30 minutes getting a beautiful henna design only for it to smudge everywhere.

I'm not sure if it's a dragon or a predator, but it's got a wand. Maybe it's a predator-dragon-wizard.

I made all sorts of flower crowns for this festival, this one's my favourite and the one I wore!



                      
I still find it weird to think I have business cards.



Last one I swear, I was really proud of my booth this festival, it was the first time I had an actually booth and not just a small section on a table.



cheers!
