I've also heard of people making a puree out of moss and a little water, then painting it on whatever you want, providing it continues to have shade and moisture. Yours was a very clever idea. Your neighbor will be jealous. :-)<br />Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-76796844798780997472014-06-28T11:15:23.498-04:002014-06-28T11:15:23.498-04:00I love you idea of creating your own mossy stump. ...I love you idea of creating your own mossy stump.

We do not have that many trees here in Iceland, mostly because it is a volcano island but we have a ton of rock fields...with moss. I grew up with stories of elves and trolls and we were warned as kids to never take moss from the rocks because it would anger the elves that lived inside them. It was so fascinating hearing these stories although it left a kid feeling a bit eerie and scared, but in a good imagination building kind of way. <br /><br />The blue door you asked about is not to grandmas house but our neighbors. I really liked your story of the sticks being left outdoors. These rocks have been there for some time and Im not sure if our old neighbors daughters did this or my kiddos (we share the yard). Either way I have often thought of taking them in and cleaning them and then crocheting around them. I think they would look great like that in the window sill or outside the front door.<br /><br />Have a good rest of the week :) <br />Birgitta xxHandmade and off-centeredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04938196970441674914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-49601751450150557142014-06-25T16:01:31.537-04:002014-06-25T16:01:31.537-04:00I love the colour and texture of moss and there is...I love the colour and texture of moss and there is some growing on stones and in pots in our garden.
