Pots? Broken to perfection!

I have been doing some spring cleaning and have decided that some of the odd bits and pieces of toys that got separated from the main sets, most of which have been given away, have to go.  Dumping them is no easy task though.  Just think about the years of attachment my children have hanging on to  (hiding) them.

Maybe we should start a project together so that we can incorporate these toys into our "work".  My son shared an idea with me this morning when he showed me some photos of miniature gardens grown in broken pots.

I did a search and found the same photos posted at Ella and it was one of the ideas they found on Different Solutions. 

Will it be easy to recreate?  There are some free tutorials to check out at The Garden Diaries, About Miniatures, BuckEye Gardening and some videos to watch at Miniature Garden Shoppe to decide on what to grow.

OK, children, you can keep the toys but before you start breaking any of my pots, lets go find some broken ones from the parks nearby.

Let'us get to the park before anyone start burning the cuttings thrown at the park.

Influence? Make it green.

I did not know the influence I have on my son, still I saw this slideshow he created with photos he took during his trip to Cameron Highlands.

Help the Victims of Hurricane IKE

A member on SlideShare has started a "Help the Victims of Hurricane IKE" group. You can find many more slides of photos and information about Hurricane Ike posted there.

I took this opportunity to share this contest information with members there by creating a presentation on it:

When Celia found me.

When Celia Cristina found me. I discovered a flock.

Celia has included a picture of a bag I made for my write up "I’m A Plastic Bag. Eco friendly? Make me!" on her Flickr photostream.

Going through the other photos she has posted there, I am glad she has found me because we are definitely birds of a feather. All the photos she has collected are images of eco friendly creations. So, click on links to photos you are interested in and it will lead you to blogs and websites she found them at. Some of them will lead you to free tutorials.

If you want to be her friend, check her profile and you will find more birds of a feather. I will find time to write her.

Cool green designs

Check out these photos of innovative ideas I received in my mail today. If designers keep creating furnishings or gadgets on smaller scale, who needs a bigger home. Let's see what we can save with them.

Less material used = less energy to create = less wastage

Don't let the water drip away. Save it by placing it where the plant needs it.

Small = portable = need not buy for each room.

Don't have to turn on the bathroom or kitchen light with these on.

2-in-1 = one more (function) need less = less space required

I am sure there is less packaging required for these products and...

since they are space saving too, you can deliver more units and save cost on fuel.
