DIY Heart Topiary

Dear Friends,

Wanted to share my DIY Heart Topiaries I made out of a left over block of wood that my loving man drilled a small hole thru.  I took the Mommy Dearest wire hanger and formed a heart.  I did cut the round part of the hanger off and stuck the end thru the hole of the block and hammered the ends into the wood at the bottom of the block.

As you can see my pot of variegated ivy is over flowing and wanted to start the Topiaries now so they can grow thru the winter.  I just pulled out some good roots of the ivy and planted them in some pots left over from summer plants, painted them to!  I intend on transplanting the Topiaries into my window boxes to add a bit of whimsy for Spring.  Topiaries are expensive at nurseries which is where I got my idea.  The chalk board is a very old mirror that I saved from Goodwill and the wood frame was terribly broke but after a light coat of white paint you can't even tell.  I wanted to share the author of the quote so I typed the entire quote on the chalkboard.  I did my best with the short version in my own handwriting as you can see.

So bring in a bit of green from the outdoors and your house maybe transformed!
