Creating A Sacred Space... At The Shabby Olde Potting Shed

 Hi friends!

I've been literally melting in the greenhouse.  

It's a scorcher in there but I thought yall might like to see how I made room for 

this prayer kneeler.  I referred to it the other day as an altar and I'm not sure if that's what it's actually called.  At any rate... it went into the greenhouse. 

 I vacuumed the whole thing out yesterday and it was a wreck.  

Got all those weeds that grew up in all the paver cracks out.  Didn't see any critters; not even a tree frog.  (You just never know around here.)  Once the bench was inside... all I could see around it was the dirty windows... so got to scrubbin on those.  

 Then I hung this cross on a nail.  A special friend gave it to me a few years back.  

Don't mind the dirty roof above it.  Myguy actually cut back a whole bunch of wisteria up there.

Hopefully the next rains will wash the roof.  .  There were so many wisteria blossoms on the roof this year and the vines were shading this space too much.  Anyways... next...

 I found the chalkboard and wrote this on it.  

Usually we say hallelujah but reading the Catholic bible and listening to masses they say it like this.  

It's  a beautiful word isn't it?  It was written with all my heart.  

 Then I started setting some little flowerpots  around.  

Just got these a couple days ago.  I love the dainty blue flowers.  

 Then I hung this leaded glass cross as well.  

 Then I scrubbed this.  Does anyone know anything about this print?

I have searched and cannot find anything... nor did I see another like it.  

 Got my little birdcage straightened  and  it's 

hanging near my scripture to focus on.

 And  here is my little prayer kneeler ... with a few flowers here and there. 

It fits just right  and 

gives me space to pause and just be with the Lord.  

I love the cross in the center of it's wood.  

I also cleaned some bottles and added some fleurs and berries.  

 Here is the little potters table in there just in case you wanted to see the whole room. 

The rabbit belonged to my Momma so is very special to me.  

 And I got the other table all cleaned up.  I have quite a few things that need 

potted.  

 And I grabbed this pack of basil last trip to town.  

The verse on top is a favorite.  

 I had to share this side of the table in my little work area. 

See the long viney plant?  That is my beloved creeping charlie.  

I love these plants so much and they wintered over for me!  

If you've never tried it ... see if your greenhouse has it.  

Don't think you'll be disappointed.  It grows really well and the leaves are lovely.  

 I had to share Sir Wisdom in this post.  

After reading Ecclesiastes... I'm renaming him Sir Wisdom Solomon.  

 Putting things inside the other part of the potting shed, I discovered this!  

I had forgotten that I had this "thy prayer closet sign."

I made it a long time ago and it will probably come into this space too. 

 It's been leaning against that window over there for so long ... and I'm 

so happy to have found it again.  

So I still have to find a good place for it.  

I also found this in there.  I need to make a hanger for it somehow.  

Probably out of wire and beads.  So that will be another little project.  

I'd like to hang it on a nail and put a battery operated candle in it for night time.  

So that is it.... my sacred little place to be.  

Early mornings and evenings are the coolest so I look forward to 

spending time there.  I've already broke it in pretty good.  

It's about to storm here now.  

Thundering quite a bit.  When it stops I'm going to tackle this....

 This zebrina patch has something wrong with it.  Plus the typewriter is behind it somewhere. lol

I'm cutting it to the ground and burning the tops.  I don't know why it did this.  

It will likely grow back from the root... but we'll see.  

Well thanks for visiting the olde shed today.  

Until we meet again,

<*(((><
