bored, sick holli has the best/worst ideas

Friends, I've been sick for what feels like forever. I got a nasty stomach bug over Christmas, followed by a terrible cold and lingering effects of the stomach upset, and now a kidney infection. Luckily, the doctor was able to get me in Friday to get tested, whereupon they discovered that it was bad enough that they gave me a shot of antibiotics right then and there, plus a prescription for a full course of antibiotics, plus an appointment to come back the next morning (on a Saturday!) to make sure I wasn't getting worse. For the record, I wasn't super alarmed until the doctors were. Anyway, I'm slowly getting better, but I'm not strong enough to do too much right now except think ... which is where Mike comes in.

I have two Fiesta flowerpots, but they're both small and in use on the kitchen windowsill. One of our little goals when we moved was to have lots more houseplants (we didn't have them at the old house because the cats would find them and dig them up, no matter where we put them, and after the cats were gone, we knew we would be moving eventually so it just didn't seem worth it), and I was thinking about how much I would like to have those plants in Fiesta planters. They don't actually make large planters, so I did some research and figured out a way to drill holes in some extra pieces I have (you've seen my collection, right? I've got Fiesta to spare). Mike was kind enough to do the work for me, and he experimented on a teacup first before moving on to the bigger pieces. I'm really happy with the results! (And possibly already planning what other pieces we can turn into planters.)
