HAPPY FEET

I've just finished a project!
I've been working on it since Valentine's Day!


I'm calling it my "Happy Feet" pot.


I love the way it turned out.


I purchased this big silver pot from Big Lots for about ten dollars.
The color was not right for this project
and so I repainted it with the same
blue I used on my
"Catbird Garden" sign.


Once again I salvaged these Styrofoam feet from VS.
We had used them in Mukluks
this past Christmas
in our "PINK" shop.


Last year a friend had given us some pillows and fabric.
We used the pillows outside
so I thought the fabric would be perfect for
covering my feet.


I cut the fabric in small pieces.


Then Mod Podged them onto the feet.


I needed to water proof them so...


I applied four coats on "Outdoor" Mod Podge.
Couldn't find this in my town so I
ordered it online.


Now that Spring has sprung I planted my pot.
I used a Crystal Peak Obedient plant,
a Lacrosse Shasta Daisy,
a Blue Daze Evolvulus,
and some Creeping Jenny.


So there you have it.
My "Happy Feet" pot.
TOO MUCH FUN!


Now all I have to do is find
the perfect spot
and show off this little guy.

  4. Oh My Gosh--that is incredible. I have no talent in this area so am in awe of others who have this kind of gifts. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your "Happy Feet" .... That needs to be entered into a magazine or some kind of gardening book... It's truly marvelous.
    Hugs,
    Betsy
