One of my repeatable fun projects is quilted seasonal wall-hanging for the kids’ home decor. They’re hung on a curtain rod through a fabric sleeve, so are really easy to swap out. Each of the kids has her own size, which really had most to do with what size the first one I did for them turned out. But now that they have committed wall space slash curtain rod for that size, the repeats for each household match.
The latest is nearly done. It’s only the second for Casa Buzz. The first celebrated Mama Buzz’s visit to The Netherlands and is pictured @ http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2868441020056011884TAOdZP. The patches for the window and door of the windmill are photos I printed on fabric and sewed in. The window is a photo of Mama Buzz at the Keukenhof. The door is a photo she took there of the Muscari River, which is probably the most famous flower feature in the park.
Mama Buzz collects miniature snow globes and loves frogs and the 12 Days of Christmas song, so when I found Twelve Days of Christmas done in frogs and the first one had a snow globe, I HAD to get it for her! The tree etc. is all my design. You may recognize the froggy panels and … yes … I really have been working on this project since my earliest days at Hillbuzz. Sigh. People kept having BABIES that needed quilts! What could I do? LOL

The other fun project I want to brag on today is my 90-gallon fish tank rehab project. It took us months to get through all the steps, which are recounted in my album “Habitats for Piscinity” @ http://pets.webshots.com/album/580643604eipFTd, along with some of my past fish-keeping projects. I can’t do the hobby like I used to, but I just couldn’t bear to not have my pride and joy in the living room where I can lay on the couch and just mellow out with the fish.
Feeding is easy, but it’s been challenging to figure out how to manage the regular algae removal, water changes and filter cleaning since my heart attack. This latest decor made a big difference. It’s not as glamorous as the one I tried in 2005 @ http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2963684770056011884NzXIgf, but it’s a lot prettier AND easier to maintain than the minimalist one I tried next @ http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2132944310056011884sWRhqO.

You are wearing me out just thinking about all of these projects. I wish I could put you to work for me – we could get some things done together, I’m sure!

I was poking around at all your postings, even your fish tanks, and was thinking precisely like Ting. Not only what you do, but your breadth of knowledge is AMAZING. And your grandkids real cute to boot. Love that picture on the other blog!

You can use all that algae to fuel your car, you know.

I wish! The stuff is such a plague. One of the problems I had was that I’m allergic to it. I thought if I just cleaned a little each day, I could keep up with it. But then I got a rash. The solution may seem obvious, but it took me quite a while before it occurred to me. One of those prayer coinkidinks … I couldn’t figure out what to do until I prayed then flashed on the answer. Switch arms. DUHHHHHHHHHH. LOLOL Sure nuff, alternating arms gives my skin enough rest that I can get some bit of the plague cleaned off each day.
