Project Done

Well this is it. I made "pillows" for my bed...(-: It isn't looking so great right now because of just being planted but hopefully when Spring gets here things will start growing! I will have to take more pictures then(-:

New Project

For this project I am using "almost" all recycled/free materials(-: The old 2X4's were from my kids playhouse years ago. When we tore it down I stacked all the wood to be used for projects at a later date. I knew I would find a use someday.(-: Anyhow, I cut them with the power saw into 24", 18" and 12" pieces. What will they make?
I also had the old wood bowl that is going to be perfect to complete the project! I will let you see when its all finished(-: Hopefully tomorrow(-: Until then you can let your imagination run wild...LOL(-:

One of My Owl Neighbors

He was sitting outside in the oak tree. So I had to sneak up on him and take his picture(-: He wasn't looking at me so I could not get his face. Maybe next time(-:

Clouds

I took these last Thursday. The sky was so many different colors of grey/blue. It was hard to capture a picture of it but it was very pretty. You will have to take my word for it(-:
So... the storm that was suppose to come never really showed up. We had some sleet and a lot of rain but not the 6" of snow that they were predicting. Which made me happy because all the daffodils would have been flattened!
I am ready for Spring! All I can think of is flowers, flowers, and more flowers!!!
Oh and a happy thought, only 14 days till daylight savings time! Yay! More time in the evening for working outside! Now I know that made your day!

Mirror Window Finished

Updated 2/27/11 New photo of this mornings sun shining on the mirror(-:




I finally got it done today. It actually tried to snow last night. Today it was clear and cold! I went out and washed the mirrors and got it all cleaned up. It is so sparkly! I am so happy!
I am going to get some silk ferns to fill the window box. I think it would finish it all off really well instead of the netting. What do you think?

To see how the window looked before I added the mirrors go here

Project Before the Grout

Decided to hang the window before grouting because it's so heavy already and also because I didn't want to accidentally mess it up somehow when I was moving it around etc. I am happy with the result so far. It really does reflect the garden and the surrounding "junk" well(-: I don't have the shower pond cleaned up, or anything else for that matter, so I didn't take an over all shot of the area. Hopefully... we get some sunshine and nice days to get things looking better! I hope to have it grouted soon! I am really excited to see it finished!
Of course I already do love it!!!!! It really changes that dark corner of the garden(-: It will be fun to see how the shower pond reflects off the mirrors when it's going!

Mosaicing Monday

Thats what I am doing! A huge 4X4 window frame! Ugh! Why?
It is taking 126 hand cut little mirrors per window pane!(-: I am on my third window pane. Hope to finish up this week! Stay tuned for pictures!(-:
