A Christmas flower

The scent of Frangipani permeates our Christmas day
The trickle of a waterfall over the bouquet
The scene is set, A tranquil nook, a pleasant interlude
A Christmas for the scences
Our balance is renewed.

The frangipani flower is Mother Nature’s symbol of perfection.
The frangipani tree, its flowers and perfume, invoke deeply within us, subconcious memories of paradise, peace, tranquility and perfection.
The frangipani is therefore sacred and healing

Easy Peasy wrap

towel wrap

 

Dont you just hate it when your towel falls off and exposes all your cellulite?

Yup, So do I, so I did some quick sewing last week, and composed this design.

Made in a Jiffy, you need towel, sewing machine, Velcro, Plus model, in this shoot, my long suffering Husband.

I can email instructions, or, if you are not able to sew, I can make , you need to pay for towel, and postage only.

Billabong, Roxy, Dont even think about it.

One size fits all

Pineapple Plantation

pineapple patch

Common Name
Pineapple , 
Botanical Name 
Ananas comosus 
Family 
BROMELIACEAE 

Dont discard the top part of the Pineapple, this cactusie looking part is easily turned into a new plant that will bear fruit.

This is what I do.
Cut off the top part of the Pineapple, leaving a little part of the fleshy fruit attatched.

Place this in a container of water for a week or so.
When the fleshy part has gone all yucky and soft, transfer to a larger pot, containg potting mix.

Place in sunny spot, makes a great pot plant for a terrace.
It is a member of the Bromiliad family, and it feeds on water through the middle of the foliage.

It will take a year for the fruit to appear, but, in the meantime, you have this ornamental plant foliage to enjoy.
