Things as of late

Things have been going well:

I saw a picture of a really cute hedgehog pincushion (for sewing) on the internet recently and thought: why have I never thought of that?? I love hedgehogs!
So today I tried to make one. Here goes.

[The pins are the hedgie's spikes]  It didn't turn out perfect, it kind of looks like a mouse. But it's good enough, I know what it's supposed to be...

My plumie is still looking good and always improving.

It just opened up about 10 new leaves. Yay!

My orchid though, I am sad to say, has started to drop flowers. :(  They have lasted about 4 months though, I think that is great!

I think I will find myself buying more orchid colors in the future.

Here's some more plant stuff...

My plumie and orchid are doing quite well. I thought I would document it. :)
The plumie is still putting out leaves at a good pace...

It is over two feet across from leaf to leaf. And always putting up new leaves. I'm so glad its growing well!

And my "other" orchid that has not yet bloomed appears to be re-establishing itself in its new container. Over the last several months I've had to repot it a couple times. It was beginning to look a little rough.
But now - it is sending out several fresh new roots! That's encouraging.

Although that one on the right is going the wrong direction. Turn back!

 And two more on this side too. :)

I have had an Aloe plant years, and lately it has been looking sickly. I'm trying to devise a plan for saving that one now too. Hope it works, it'd be sad to lose it.
