M.I.A. 'Cause Life is O.T.T. - A.T.M.

I have been missing in action because life is over the top at the moment.

Here is a tiniest look-see into a fraction of what I've been up to...

African Violet

I've been propagating,

Flap Jacks

planting,

Echeveria 

planting some more,

Senecio mandraliscae - Kleinia (?)

and even more.

Zebra Cactus

I also painted a bit.

Echeveria

And did a little bit of pasting.

I've fallen for how these tins have turned out.  The graphic above and below is from The Graphics Fairy.

I used a little bit of outdoor Mod Podge to adhere the graphic (printed in reverse on paper) to the painted tin.   When dry I rubbed off the back of the paper with a damp sponge to reveal the graphic which was then given a final coat of Mod Podge to seal. 

Jelly Bean Plant

The best thing about all this...is that I've managed to sell all the plants (and more) on a community on-line garage sale.

 

Perennial Basil

The local possum family have discovered my collection of succulent plants.

They now reside behind wire screens, (my plants, not the possums).

The above cutting was growing strongly, until the possums discovered it.

It now looks aged and dwarfed so I'm thinking of transplanting it into a bonsai pot.

Our winter has been extremely dry and reportedly the warmest on record.

Which explains why my collection is doing so well - or was - if it not for the teeth marks on the leaves left behind by some furry little critters...
