Stencil the walls and patio

 I want this stencil in damask cream/white in the bathroom; 

or gold modern masters gold metallic paint

on my bedroom walls, in perhaps the lightest pink

and 

on the floor of the patio in light grey.

This one would be good for the leafy look on the floor of the verandah, only with more ivy looking leaves

or more loose leafy looks like this https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aFclRHuVO/

And for the kitchen backsplash, something in light whites and creams, like this

I'd like to stencil a cabinet to look like this -

Maybe something like this on the back wall of my house?

Stencil a floor rug

 I am wanting to stencil a large floor rug onto the patio floor, or perhaps an all over tile pattern, with the 'rug' in certain areas.

Images with kang tables

 

A Kang table—also referred to as a bench—is a type of Chinese furniture that serves a dual purpose as both a low table and a chair-level bed. Of ideal height, and given its generously sized top, these pieces also make wonderfully unique coffee tables.




Morning Walks

 I found myself becoming wider around the hips, bum and thighs, and some pants feeling extra tight. so I have been going for morning walks to try to keep the weight off. Of courser, eating copious amounts of chocolate does not help!

Anyway, this is a shot of my on the road this morning -

Blue wrens

 These are called 'superb fairy wrens' in the books. A colony lives in my garden, front and back. They are so cute.

New pieces of concrete

 On my morning walk, I noticed an older guy shovelling stuff in his front yard. I asked him if I could have the shards of concrete in the pile, and he was happy for me to take them.

I went home, had a coffee, got the car and rove round to load them in my car, which he helped me with.

I got them home, and as they were thin pieces, they were not heavy to lift out of the car, and I proceeded to place them around the garden, in their initial spots - these might change.





23 October 2020 - I dropped off a little letter with some chocolates to the house where the bits came from, to thank them for their help in developing my garden.
I dropped it in their mail box (6 Hibiscus St) this morning (26/10/2020).

29 Oct - the pigface is taking off in this space. I am pleased about this, and really want a swash of pink and green there.


2 Nov - I fed the little cuttings of pigface with some liquid potash this morning.

25 October 2020 -  It's time for the flowers to fall off, to create beautiful purple carpets on lawns and walkways.
