  • so pretty!
  • using a clean glass jar, apply removable adhesive labels of your choice (i used round labels from the office supply store)
  • turn your jar upside down to prevent paint overspray + apply several light coats
  • once dry, gently remove the labels
  • add a layer of glass floral beads or sand. this protects your surface from heat damage from a long-burning candle
  • i love the playfulness of the dotted design
  • but he's even prettier as the sun sets! 1

Ingredients for a Summertime Front Porch:

It's not hard to create an oasis on a front or back porch -

1. round up a few comfy chairs or a lounge, maybe a swing. ...»

2. add a table to hold a glass.

3. pop in a few pillows and a splash of color in an accessory or two.

...and you have your OWN summertime retreat to enjoy!

Once upon a time, I lived in my dream house. And that dream house had a wide front porch that just said 'Summertime'... It was the perfect place to hang a swing, where I could sit and work or just relax. Add in a few patriotic decor details and a refreshing summer beverage, and it was truly my haven, my retreat. I enjoyed that porch in every season, but especially in summer!

These photos were included in my 'Sweet ReTreats' column in FOLK Magazine's Issue V, Summer 2012. #SummerStyle #OutdoorLiving

  • Only use actual metal cans. The cardboard ones will not  hold up in the weather.
  • Remove the bottom with a can opener and take off the label.
  • Paint your can up and seal with a water proof sealant.
  • Cut the top of the can in half and hot glue each half onto each of the ends of the can.
  • Add two tiny nail holes to the top. String through twine and tie in a knot.
  • Fill with food, hang in a tree, and watch the birdies come to eat.

  • I grabbed an empty jar, some flat sided marbles and some good glue
  • I glued the marbles all over the jar in a random pattern. 1
  • I then took a solar light from the Dollar Tree and took the long pole off. I dropped the light part, solar cell at the bottom, into the jar
  • I spray painted a leftover wooden stake a dark blue and screwed the cap of the jar lid into the pole.
  • And then screwed the jar onto the lid. Not only does it shimmer in the sunlight, it gives off a soft blue glistening glow at night thanks to the solar light inside. 
Should the light quit working,
I can simple untwist it and replace the battery in the light. 1

wine bottle lamps

To make lamps you need a bottle cutter. It takes alot of practice and patience to get the bottles right. I Use a good outdoor glue to attach decorations to bottles.

Garden Art Frog Prince - Free Tutorial

A friend saw a garden art frog prince during a garden tour and asked me to make one. She didn't have a photo, so all I had to go by was 'it's round, green, funny, and wears a crown'. ...»
Okay. I can make one of those! I confess, it's not my usual style of garden art, but I was up for the challenge.

This project is suitable for a somewhat experienced crafter or anyone who is willing to experiment and adapt. When you work with repurposed/used materials, each frog will be unique-which is wonderful, really-but does require a bit of patience and imagination.

I used a sturdy glas lamp globe for the body. An old bowling ball would work very well too.

Full instructions, materials, and frog dress-up ideas are on my blog here: http://www.empressofdirt.net/frogprincetutor...
