Monday 18 March 2013

My entire week last week consisted of crafting. The housework was neglected, the children neglected, and last but not least, the Nature in the Home series was neglected!
But I am back on the ball, I have spent the day spring cleaning. The downstairs of my house looks almost sparkly, the upstairs, well, it will have to wait for another day.
And now I am sitting down thinking about my blog. I have zero nature in my home at the moment, other that a couple of unattractive money plants. So my offering this week is going to be a 'I would like some of this nature in my home'!
On my Pinterest page I have an Indoor Greenery section, within this I have been developing an interest in terraniums! Ive never had one, but growing up my elderly next door neighbour had one. I can remember laying on the floor in her front room gazing into the jar unable to comprehend how she got all the plants etc in it. It fascinated me.
So here a few photos of terraniums that I really like the look of, I just need to find the time to be able to give one a go myself!
 



Aren't they lovely?! I like the clear distinction between the stones and the soil, it appeals to my orderly side. And I like the lid on the one above, Im sure Ive seen similar jars in TK Maxx, Im going to have to try and find one now.
You never know, perhaps in the not to distant future I will be able to show my very own terranium in the Nature in the home series!

  1. Wow Georgie I love these. Yep I might have to give it go too. Also have you seen those little railway figures? They would look great in there making a little scene. Like a couple on a park bench. x
