First, you have a very pretty pond. What is that light colored plant on the left of the picture, it kind of looks like a verigated spider plant? Wood around dirt and water tends to rot, so I don't know if the scrap wood will do you much good in the long run. I do think you could easily pull back a few feet to give the water a longer travel to the pond. I would build a small berm out of soil in which to set your waterfall basin. You might try hunting around for some rocks, sandstone or limestone etc, to help contain the dirt. A lot of people go to sites where new homes are being constructed, and ask the builders if they can have some of the rocks they're digging up. Or if you know someone with a pasture who might have some rocks that you could have. You'll need a piece of liner, long enough to cover the space you've decided on for your length. Be sure to overlap it with the existing liner in the pond so that no water can wash back up and escape.

Hey Jan, did you notice that float bulb has our friend 'barb c's name on the bottle??? That's one she gave me last lunch meet! lol Xuan, I came by this idea quite accidentially, I had left some baby bulbs my friend barb had given me on my potting bench. I use the lower part of water bottles to grow seedlings or to also use as mini greenhouse toppers upside down over baby tomato seedlings. We had got some rain and the baby bulbs I left on the bench got soaked. I was potting up some tomato seedlings and took a bottle top I had just cut and turned it upside down for the bulbs to dry in, in the sun while I finished with my tomatoes. Then a light bulb went on! hah!! I could do the "MariaBulbFloat" this way!! See, that Maria is also the mother of amaryllis inventions!

We have his and hers vanities that each have towers with adjustable shelves, outlets, and a valance. I prefer to have just the pretty countertop accessories out so I designed my side with all concealed storage. I'm right-handed so the things I use each day are on the right side cabinet, toiletries etc on the top and hairdryer & curling brushes on the bottom. The left side has storage for some misc bathroom accessories and my contact lens supplies on the top. My curling iron and brushes fit on the bottom. My husband's vanity and towers are very similar but he preferered to have open shelves on the lower half of his towers so that the things he uses each day are in view. I love threads like this because there are always some really creative ideas that I would have never thought of!

Thanks...I have a pudding mold....and an old tin coated fluted tube cake pan as well as a couple of copper molds....any of which would work....I just couldn't think..... I also have a pottery straight sided dish...I use it for flan....think I'll use that and serve it on a footed cake stand....white milk glass...looks a bit like porcelain. Just needed someone to brainstorm with. Linda
