I love creating new ideas. And now that I am happily retired, I have lots more time to create them! Whether its crafts for decorating my home, or up cycling items I find at garage sales, thrift stores, and even on the curb, and turning them into something wonderful. The creative juices flowing in my head are almost always in overdrive....so many ideas! I love sharing my new ideas with all of you! So please follow me and let me know how I'm doing! I hope I can inspire you.....and if I do....send me a pic. I would love to see your creation.

  2. I adore succulents, while living in Gozo nearly every front door had a pot of succulents beside it, wonderful! Thank you for linking us to how it is done. I did do some now and then with success but never to late to learn more about it. They are darling little plants. Cheers!

  7. Most succulents are easier to grow from cutting; and cuttings produce bigger and better plants. I would only grow them from leaves if I needed to grow a whole bunch of copies, or if I only got a few leaves to work with. Sedums grow from leaves that fall on the ground.

      1. Well, cuttings start to grow at the size they are when you make them. I mean, if you grow a three inch cutting of jade plant, you start with a three inch plant. Those grown from leaves are like growing them from seed. It is effective, and can produce more plants with less stock material, but it is a slower process.
