Happiest of birthdays! May your gardens exceed your wildest expectations and all your plants thrive. ^_^
O! Frabjous Day! Callooh, Callay!!!
Hope you are having the "bestest" day ever!
Happy Birthday Shelly! Thanks for contributing so much to the forum. Really appreciate your wonderful photos.
Happy birthday! Have a wonderful day! Eleanor
Happy happy birthday!
Thanks All.... You folks are great!! Exactly why I like to hang out there sooo much! I love all of the pictures! I'm so longing for all of those things to be in bloom in my yard. Such great photographers there are in the NE forum too!
The Photographers out west ain't so shabby either, sister!
Have a wonderful Birthday Shelly!! Keep the pics coming, especially since we're all under lots of snow back east.
Another beauty, Weeze! How long do they take?
Very nicely done, Ms. Weeze! Just awesome!
Time spent is all related to the intricacy of the design. The fish was very easy. Large pieces = less cutting. The basic breakdown for the fish would be about:
1/2 hour drawing design and prepping
1-2 hours setting tiles (this is the step that really changes depending on design)
let cure 24 hours
1/2 hour grouting
let cure 24 hours
polish and seal
If it's being done with wet cement, take off one day of curing. And if this weather doesn't change I'm going to have lots of mosaics :(
Send us some warm weather Shelly!!
I should have checked for a birthday thread here sooner. Happy, happy dear shelly!
Willie, I agree completely!
That's a cool pic Weeze! nice job on that piece. I don't have the patience for something like that. Nor the skill, but definitely not the patience! I'll work on getting that warm weather to you, but It'll have to be soon. They're saying snow again for us thursday. But, just a little. Not anything like your storm.
Jan, your timing is perfect.
To our #1 WestCoastRedChic, have a picture perfect B-day. Photos posted please! Patti
happy b-day shelly!!
Okay, Shelly. This has to be the most fantastic thread ever. These pictures are outrageous. And I want one of each of these plants, pretty please.
I came over here to make sure that the NE Forum knew it was your birthday and find that these guys have put your "HOME" forum to shame. But in a good way.
Happy Birthday again!! I hope you're having a nice one.
That's not Shirazz, is it Bill?
yes and deed
Don't remember it being that large.
Katie, thanks, and .... I agree. Nah, the PNW is great in a different way indeed. But, this is definitely a fun group. I think that but for you, I, and just a couple of others, we seem to hibernate in the winter. It'll pick up soon.
Thanks Pattie and Bill. Great pics for both of you! Awesome shirazz.
Good grief Victor!! Great job on the ID!! I never would have guessed that one.
it is about 5 foot tall
shelly it is the only one he doesn't have :)
Hee hee - for now.
I need Shiraz, I think. :-)
It was a beautiful tree pic.
I'm liking those hydrangeas, too.
The soil is pretty acid here, so blue is our default color. And this 'Nikko Blue' is so well-established that I don't have to do anything to it (my kind of plant).
victor if my seeds come up i'll give you one - if your nice
Nice? who knew? lol
you're all too funny.
Great Hydrangea Katie.
Thanks to all for the great birthday wishes and this thread!!! You're all great. I had a really good birthday too.
I almost missed this most importent thread!!!!!
Happy Birthday Shelly
No patience for JM seeds. I want to be alive to see it at a decent size!
Me too Victor.
Same goes for small Bluestone plants.
I'm 73 ,there are plants I wont buy.
I wont even take a chance on a Century Plant.LOL
I agree! What is a century plant?
Not one I want.
lol, that's the impression that I have!
Oh... and Thanks Jo Ann! I don't know how on earth everyone keeps track of all the threads going on all the time.
