Garden Inspired Sugar Mold Display

Looking for a Garden inspired way to decorate your sugar mold?  Let me “plant” a seed of an idea for a unique display!

With Spring just a few weeks away, I decided to bring the garden inside by creating a garden inspired sugar mold display. A friend gave me these vintage seed packets a few years ago.   I thought they would be perfect in my Spring display!

Garden Inspired Sugar Mold

Did you know that sugar used to be sold to consumers in cone shapes?  This was before granulated sugar came on the market. Now they are used as fun, home decor pieces.  I have several different sizes, but I really like this white one for Spring projects.  This particular sugar mold is a reproduction piece.

Ready to “Plant” Our  Seeds!

To make the soil, I used these moss balls and then cut them to fit in the holes of the sugar mold.

It is easy to cut the moss balls using a hack saw blade or knife.  Be careful when using anything sharp!

I found the little chalkboard signs at the craft store.  I tried writing on them with the chalk pen that came with them, but my writing is not the neatest, so I decided to leave them blank!

Vintage Seed Packs

A friend gave me a number of these vintage seed packages.  They are quite old but most of them have retained the color in their labels.  I picked an assortment of flowers to “plant” in my sugar mold.

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
