  • This is my "totem".  I've had it outdoors for several years now. It's held up really well except for the "ladder" incident last fall while a helpful neighbor was helping me clean out the gutters. 10
  • These are the tools you'll need. I use GE II Silicone for Windows and Doors (clear) with a caulk gun.
A level will come in handy to make sure your totem doesn't lean. 4
  • Wash and dry (thoroughly) your glassware. I suggest you let your vases and such dry overnight. If you have ANY moisture inside, it will be sealed inside once you apply your sealant.
  • apply your silicone to one of your pieces, then add your next piece to it.
  • remove the excess silicone with your finger or a paper towel. 
*tip*  I generally glue two pieces together, while gluing another two pieces together.  After those four pieces set up overnight, then I glue the two (or 3) sets together.
  • *tip*  to keep water from standing in your plates, turn them upside down.  I like to separate my large vases and such with clear plates. A microwave plate makes a great base piece. 3
  • You can use a plate on top right side up to make a bird feeder or a birdbath. 6

    I have made some of these and placed a store-bought solar light in the top. I start with an ...»
    old bud vase turned upside down then a glass colored or plan small bowl, then a drinking glass on that with the solar light placed in it. This all goes on a piece of rebar which you stick in the ground.( the rebar holds the bud vase) The other pieces are stacked on top. I tried to find a picture but am taking too long!

This is another project of mine. A dry pond/creek bed.

I collected rocks from the woods and bought the footbridge on line. I found the neat stork at Lowes. Yes, Lowes is my favorite store. I had the stone delivered and I just layed out how I ...»
wanted it with the large rocks and then just filled it in with the stone and mulched the rest. It was pretty easy actually. I got the daylillies from a friend and the grasses I bought at a market. My little cat I had for 17 years is buried under the St. Francis statue on the left side of the bridge so this spot has special meaning to me.

Design & Décor: Furniture ideas for 60 inch tv

Any ideas on what to do with this wall to house a 60 inch tv (my husband insists on). This one on the stand is going away and we'll be buying a new one. It's a new house and the plan is to buy a console or wall unit, then rug (that one is ugly) then tall panel drapes I feel like since the room is so light a wall unit could seem to heavy. But a console might leave so much open space above the tv. Any ideas on what would look best? I do not have an eye for decorating and am at a ...»
lost. Behind the tv is a kitchen with cream cabinets and a cherry island. Thanks for your help.
