Garden Chair
I got this chair
on a fb pg
I administer
for our area
called
Steals and Deals
of course I
forgot to take
a photo of it before
My hsb
decided to make
a garden chair out of it
He painted
it turquoise then
heirloom white
and crackled it
He then cut
a circle in the seat
to put a flower pot in
Once finished
I posted it
on the same page
and sold it for $25
within a day!

Lamps revamped
I bought these lamps
at a yard sale
a few weekends ago
for my son
They weren't marked -
can you imagine my delight
when the lady told me
.25 cents a piece
so this weekend
I broke out
the cans of
Rusteoeum
Oil Rubbed Bronze
and they now look
like this:
I think maybe he liked them

Patriotic Wreath
While looking at
the blogs I followed
I found the following
tutorial at
I had all
the items except
for the star
While at Joann's
I found a star hook
for $3
so decided to adapt it
I attached it
with zip ties
I think I will
paint it
since it blends in
with the wreath
My flag wasn't
as long as hers
but for my door
I think the shorter
worked better
It was very easy
and really dramatic effect
to the front door

Put a cork in it...
When I saw this idea
I knew I wanted to make one
with my own twist
I glued a 15/16 in
washer on each end
I had sm washers
on hand that fit right in the hole
You can use any size with a
smaller hole
I then glues a nut
on top of it
then screwed the eye hook
I put a small part of glue
on the screw portion
in to the cork
I did the same on both end
I took left over
beads and charms
and made danglies
added a ring
and it was complete
A few of the ones I made:
Butterfly
Dragonfly
These would make great
gifts
Wow Me Wednesday
Make It Great
