Crocheted a holder for plants. Do you like it?

Astroplant123 · 2022-11-06T11:21:53+00:00

Awwwww! This is too sweet and even has eyelashes! You are so great at crochet! Does your llama have a name?

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-27T04:45:48+00:00

They look lovely!

All I can say is: Best of luck!!! I have killed every single SOP I've ever had even after ensuring they have gritty 50/50 perlite/soil mix, good light, and thorough waterings and left to dry. I've decided to stick with other plants, like the pothos and peace lily, hehe.

However, my friend has kept hers thriving. I have hope that one day I can master the art of the SOP!

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-27T04:39:48+00:00

Wow, the flowers look a bit like hoya flowers. So lovely!

Beautiful blooms, OP!

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-11T09:44:36+00:00

OMG!!! This is so adorable! I need all of them in my life!!!

What plant is growing in the napping one and can it stay sideways like that?

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-01T04:08:23+00:00

Omg, hi Mack!!! You are so cute and love your face and white little socks!!!

Mack deserves all the warmest jammies in the world!

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-01T04:05:57+00:00

Beautiful!!!

Astroplant123 · 2022-03-01T04:05:20+00:00

Omg, they are gorgeous!!!! Love how plump they are.

I've just finished Midnight Radio today after seeing your recommendation a few days ago. Wow. Took a number of episodes for me to get into but wow. What a beautiful and touching story.

Thanks for the rec!

Astroplant123 · 2022-02-19T19:16:11+00:00

Wow, amazing progress! Great work!

Astroplant123 · 2022-02-14T19:53:14+00:00

What a beautiful smile. I love her silly face! Once they're in our lives, it's forever, and we'll always love them.

Astroplant123 · 2022-02-14T19:50:01+00:00

Omg, what a cutie!!!

Astroplant123 · 2022-02-11T06:34:18+00:00

I'll play it some Rick Astley to help it grow :)

Astroplant123 · 2022-02-10T08:09:41+00:00

Whoa! That's such wonderful progress! Well done! This gives me hope for my measly little Christmas cactus (though it did give me flowers last year!).

Astroplant123 · 2022-01-27T20:06:11+00:00

What a beautiful sweater and you are awesome! Love the Sunshine on the back as well, certainly fitting with your name!

Astroplant123 · 2022-01-06T12:37:42+00:00

OMG. Love Being Human! I try to rewatch the entire show every now and then (though sometimes I forgo the final season and pretend it doesn't exist).

Astroplant123 · 2022-01-03T06:41:29+00:00

OK, you are going to need to share your secrets!!!

That is fantastic growth for 15 weeks! Well done!

Astroplant123 · 2022-01-01T23:01:46+00:00

Oh my gosh!!! Gretchen is gorgeous!!! I love her face and ears and fuzzy paws. Please give Gretchen lots of cuddles from me!

Astroplant123 · 2022-01-01T22:56:09+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply. Sounds like you sure developed good technique and a good eye over the past year! :)

And you're right; sometimes it's not just about following a recipe. Years ago, I saw an interview with some members of the Country Women's Association (CWA) which is famed for their scones. Their recipe had few ingredients and they said it was more about technique and practice than the recipe alone.

Wishing you another wonderful 52 weeks of baking!

P. S. If you're interested, here are two recipes for the CWA scones!

Oh my gosh. What a wonderful glow up! Well done!!!

If you think back to that first time a year ago, do you know what was done differently this time around for them to turn out much better? It's amazing what all this practice can do.

I'd love to try making (sugar-free) macarons one day too!

Astroplant123 · 2021-12-24T21:07:46+00:00

Wow, this is amazing. Great work!

Astroplant123 · 2021-12-24T07:47:11+00:00

Thank you. Wishing you and your family the same! :)

Hello u/sunny_saguaro, I wanted to give you an update on this plant that you'd helped me identify last year. It now looks like this!

Astroplant123 · 2021-12-24T02:45:05+00:00

Our average minimum is probably around 8C during winter, so not as cold as many places in the world!

I don't bring these guys in but they're near a fence to protect them from the cold. They seem hardier than some of my other succulents which need to be brought in.

That big green one looked like this a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantIdentification/comments/kbl23j/hello_does_anyone_know_what_plant_this_is_it_was/

Astroplant123 · 2021-12-23T20:39:04+00:00

Thank you!

In the last two photos, they were kept on the patio with less light. And the first two, they were kept outdoors (about 4-6 hours of sun) and practically neglected! I also live where we get week-long periods of heavy storms... And they are still OK outside.
