Pop Of Color In My Living Room

This weekend gave me joy of  some 'Me Time'. I spent lot of time in my small terrace garden cutting, dead heading, pruning, pinching and  re-potting followed by painting some tiny pots. These tiny pots are up-cycled plastic containers :)

I potted the plants in a manner that the most striking color of a tiny pot will going to match with flowers of the plant. Pink one is having pink Impatiens sapling. These tiny beauties are spreading happiness in my living room.

Sunny Day

Its sunny bright day and all the plants in my garden looked so happy after few cloudy and rainy days. There was magic in air, birds were chirping and twittering. Weather was perfect to sit and enjoy on terrace and to click all the beautiful, colorful blooms in my garden.

Allamanda is full of blooms. I just love the color :-)

 Blooms those are in shade have slightly different color.

Dwarf pink Ixora with bunch of buds ready to bloom in a day or two.

Happy Gazania seems enjoying sunlight at its fullest. Love this miniature of sunflower and its veins are just wow.

Gerberas  trying to twine around with each other.

When Creative Juices Flow: Coconut Shell Hanging Planter

This project was on mind since long. Executed it recently. I used coconut shells, twine and bangles.  Put them altogether and outcome is just superb. I am too happy to see it hanging in my garden and it looks so beautiful.

I planted different creepers in each coconut shell that is serving as planter now.  

I am sure that it will going to look just awesome after few months, when planter will be covered with different beautiful foliage.

Can you notice small jingling bells(ghungroo) at the bottom. They make such pleasing sound.

Though I wanted to color shells and wanted to add beads also on twine but I was so in hurry that I didn't wait and just hung it as it is. Probably will make one more with new imagination.

Lot more projects are in queue so drop by frequently and stay creative.
Have a lovely weekend ahead.
