Morning all...hi Gardengirl..nope, not canvas, I paint the back of linoleum..give it about 8 coats of 'Flecto Diamond Satin Finish - Varathane...and the matt under my table now is about 8 years old..it's virtually indistructable...just finished it......decided not to put a design where each square meets..might be tooo busy...so, I'll settle for this much...
now I'll wait for last touch up to dry and then start giving it the coats..want to have it under the table tomorrow and the once that is there out on back verandah...

I'm still in my p.j.'s ...now that I've finished this project I'll get into garden clothes and start digging up sod in preparation for my load of topsoil coming in the next few days..want a larger flower garden beneath the picture frame art ..maybe on my trip tomorrow to Meaford there are 10 or so garden centres and perhaps there will be sales on perrenials that I can add to it...

It's hot today, but not overly so..looked like rain this morning but it bypassed us again..I'm watering so hopefully it will keep flowers alive, but I think the grass is beyond saving for this year...

Bet you are torn between leaving your job to excitement of finding something different that you love and will be a challenge...but, you can enjoy a few months freedom..just think of the gardening and arts/crafts you can do....

Bluekat..how's it going...praying that you will continue your trek towards good health...

Laura, always worry when you are quiet..know you've loads of stress right now but please remember...we your DG friends are here to listen, to support you...keep with us my dear...

Liz..do you think Elephant Ears would grow here? Maybe I'll ask tomorrow at some of the gardens centers...just what I need..more cement leaves..but I do want to pick up cement and garden gloves...wouldn't it look wonderful in a side garden to see hands reaching up out of the ground? I've tooo much time on my hands...need to find a life...

Well I'll show you a photo of the finished matt..just waiting to be placed tomorrow under my dining room table...
