About Me
- Maryann
- I am very passionate about creating beautiful jewellery and art works in different mediums. I'm constantly evolving both in my designs and in my creativity. Jewellery designing and creating gives me a wonderful sense of achievement and satisfaction. Gardening gives me a physical and energetic satisfaction which I thoroughly enjoy also.These two pursuits are performed in between all the other day to day tasks, but usually special time is set aside when I really want to devote special energy to the creative process.Saying all this,I really do only what just comes naturally!

Outdoors!
Now that my potting shed is up and ready to go, I thought the poster below was quite an apt message.

Potting Shed/Glasshouse Week 6
I have a new potting shed/glasshouse!
Construction is complete, shelving, bench surfaces, propagating tray, storage racks, potting up area and even running water with a deep trough are all ready and waiting to be used!
Apart from having some difficulty sourcing a decent quantity of perlite for propagation, all systems are now ready to roll. Tools and gardening bits and bobs are already starting to find their new home.
Very happy gardener here......can you tell?

Potting Shed/Glasshouse Week 4
Another productive week working on the potting shed construction. The weather has been very kind to us and though very cold, not wet or extremely windy.
This week the cladding of the shed was erected(almost complete) and comprises weathertex boards and colorbond steel, all salvaged materials from the house construction. The framework for the glass panels was also erected. Most of this construction will be made from the reclaimed materials left after our major build.
The potting shed is starting to feel more enclosed now and less open to the weather. The roof is half colorbond steel and half laser light sheeting(new).

Potting Shed....Week 3
A very productive week and things are starting to really take shape!
Two loads of 10mm stones were ordered and laid for the base of the shed. They feel so good underfoot! The frame has gone up and with great dexterity and a little fear! Trev and I have managed to start installing the roof trusses. Wild winds were forecast for the weekend so we managed to erect and stabilise a few trusses by Friday afternoon. Fingers crossed they will remain in place for Monday!!
My little potting shed/glass house is really starting to evolve!
