BUSY AS A BEE

Thought I'd give you a look see at a few projects
I've been working on for the
home and garden.
I'll tell you all about my window boxes
in a later post.

Finished up my "Happy Feet" pot.

Today I worked on this garden art piece.

Here is my inspiration.
Much more elaborate than mine...
but that's okay.

I only used three pots and tried to work
with things I already had.

I had picked up this little Blue Bird on a recent
trip to Greenville SC and thought he'd be
cute perched on top.

Lately I've been inspired to have something in
the garden covered in moss. Purchased this
Irish Moss at the greenhouse and I'm attempting
to get it going all over this birdbath.
Cross your fingers.

Several weeks ago I snagged an old used baby bed
at the Salvation Army Store.
I've been slowly putting its parts to use in the garden.
I'm using the springs to camouflage this ugly
metal door of my gardening shed.

Well that's what I've been up to,
what about you?

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.
