  • A Rainbird automatic watering system we purchased from Home Depot -- and it's a DIY project! 1
  • Here's a close-up of one of the spray heads.
  • See how gently it mists the plants?  Just as I showed you with the hanging ferns, the system is connected to a water faucet and a timer.  In the heat of Summer, we water twice a day for 10 minutes each time.
  • You can even use this system with your container plants.  Here's a close-up of a drip head.
  • And here's a pot of strawberries with a spray-style head.  Guess what?  I'm headed out of town soon, and I don't have to ask a neighbor to water the plants -- or come home to dead ones!  Wouldn't you like to say the same?  You can!

  • Every Spring, I buy Boston ferns in hanging baskets at Lowe's or Home Depot. 2
  • My first secret is to remove the plastic pot they come in and replant them using a good-quality potting mix.
  • I prefer to use coir-lined wire baskets. 3
  • My BEST secret is to install a Rainbird slow-drip automatic watering system.  It's a DIY project.  Really.  See the black tubes hanging down from the porch ceiling?  When the ferns are hung, the tubes are placed above them. 2
  • The tubing is connected to a timer and then to a standard faucet. (Mine's in the basement, but yours can be anywhere.) In the heat of Summer, the timer is set to water twice a day for 10 minutes.
  • This pic was taken in October last year -- after a hot Summer.  Ferns as large and lush as ever.  Yours can be, too!  Check out my blog link for more step-by-step pics. 2
  • How about doing the same thing for your flower beds?  You can!  http://www.hometalk.com/1455316/how-to-have-beautiful-plants-all-summer-long-even-when-you-re-away

DIY Monogram Pillow

Are you a thrift store shopper? I am! I go every couple of months it seems. It's something I've enjoyed doing since college when I decorated my first apartment with thrift shop finds. I ...»
found a sunny yellow "fabric" at the local thrift shop for 99 cents and a vision of this yellow throw pillow with contrasting white piping and a monogram came to mind. I love when a vision hits like that! Instead of monogramming with embroidery, I went the easy route and painted it using a fabric paint pen and making a monogram template from fonts I had on Microsoft Word. Details on how I made this pillow can be found on the blog link: http://www.lilikoijoy.com/2013/05/poppin-som.... I couldn't help myself - yes, there are a few Macklemore Thrift Shop references in this post...
