It's grungier and more fairytale like than what I originally intended, but I am finding that I like being lead to something I hadn't even thought of. It makes it much more interesting, and I don't mind at all being used as the tool for something to come alive.Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-58908247636034898932018-11-02T05:27:58.191-07:002018-11-02T05:27:58.191-07:00Hello Jodi,

I am happy you varied planters and flower boxes and pots because it really adds so much interest to the garden. It is magical. The cottage looks like it was plucked out right out of one of Neil Gagman's books. It is amazing.<br />Big hug,<br />Giac Giachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-66815975356095328682018-10-26T02:47:58.120-07:002018-10-26T02:47:58.120-07:00You have really spent a lof of time in making all ...You have really spent a lof of time in making all these beautiful items.

And I am glad I had to keep the landscape so small, because otherwise, I'd be marking time in months instead of weeks to make everything!

I'm so eager to get going on the final phases, not only because I want to see everything together, but because I am anxious to begin working inside again! I fear I have let the spray painting weather get by before I got the appliances and bath fixtures painted, so I am going to have to heat the garage to make it happen.

I am so happy that you like the garden's flowers and the fun things that are incorporated into it! A few years ago, my brother started to keep bees. Him doing so lead not only to some fascinating learning, but also to the fruits of his labor. His honey is amazing, and his bees hardly ever sting him. It's like they know somehow that it's a cooperative relationship! My mom has a healthy fear of them, and won't go near the hives!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-8589342545934537812018-10-15T08:26:24.704-07:002018-10-15T08:26:24.704-07:00Oh dear Birgit Thank You!

I couldn't get over how clever your battery pack/electric meter hack was! I had to take a second look after reading that! I love the bee themed pieces (cute in miniature, although I'm not the kind of person who want one in my own garden ;) And I overall the layering of the florals is simply fantastic!

Oh... pardon me... the word I'm talking about is of course "WOW"!!! *LOL* I fear it would make this comment form explode if I'd point out all the things and details I liked and enjoyed and admired looking at those wonderful pictures of this beautiful, beautiful project - so I'm concentrating on just a few examples: The dandelions peeping up here before the garden hose and there in front of the rain barrel… the pots around the bay window… the potting bench with its well chosen decoration… the strawberry pot (I need to mention this, otherwise Fluby will become grumpy *grin*)… the teapot sign at the entrance… etc. etc. And not to forget this fascinating rain chain - what a brilliant idea. I can't wait to see more and how all of this looks with the walls and the arbor.<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-48530206484241486702018-10-14T08:05:36.044-07:002018-10-14T08:05:36.044-07:00Ohhh, what a great work!
