Garden Project

I got this idea from pinterest and just had to do it! It took my hubby all day to cut out the planting trough, but I think it is worth it. It looks great.

  • Even with no experience in mosaics or tiling, our bird bath face lift turned out just as I had hoped. Now I'm thinking about all the other things I could do...gazing balls, garden stakes, water fountains, etc. The sky's the limit! 6
  • This is what we started with. Our birdbath had taken a tumble shortly after we got it, and stayed in pieces for three years until recently when my husband glued them back together with some clear silicone.
  • After that, I used J-B WaterWeld to seal the  cracks and make it water-tight again. It's my go-to method for repairing things that will be wet or underwater. It's also drinking water safe, so you don't have to worry about its toxicity.

  • The solar light was almost the same size as the jar ring
***UPDATE Don't hot glue gems to the outside, they may fall off :(
  • This is after glued flat sided gems around the jar ring and around the little edge on the bottom of the clear part of the light. This little part was where the cylinder and spike were to put the light into the ground.

Easy Button Art for Craft Room

I wanted unique art for my craft room. I picked up some round wood, drilled a few holes and did a little painting. The result is a fairly inexpensive whimsical display. Perfect for a craft room.

  • An after shot of the new "open shelves" in my kitchen... a space transformed using a lot of paint! 5
  • Before... Dark, dreary and dated.  We removed wallpaper and changed the florescent light fixture for canned lights, but other than that, the only change has been a lot of paint.
  • What used to be a space that felt nothing like "me" is now a great reflection of my style and our family. 2
