Sand and Paint my bottom less white chair bright blue.
Locate a white pot to fit it so I have it ready to plant with red flowers.
I'm making wind spinners and doing bead necklaces and matching bracelets. Using flea market finds for decoration, and metal flowers that look like daffodils. Ready neat.
Like Betty, I have two chairs for my garden that need to be repaired, sanded, painted and decorated! Can’t wait to get started and have them all ready for spring.
I bought an old wicker rocker that is just like the one from our porch chairs of my childhood. I plan to restore it with new paint and a new cushion.
I've dried hydrangea blooms and will spray paint them, lightly, with pastel colors. They are less fragile when painted. I'll use them to make beautiful arrangements, mixed with other dried and silk materials. Pictures will follow.
I want to make a glass totem pole for me. I have a made one for a dear friend but like most of my projects I tend to give them away. This one is mine.
I saw an emerald city made of green vases etc. I have been collecting green vases at the thrift store. I have a child's picnic table that has been painted yellow. I intend to paint the top to look like bricks and place my emerald city in the corner of the back yard.
January Project Challenge - a bird feeder. I 'm just waiting for the hubby to find some of the supplies from his barn and I'll be ready to get started.
I plan to make a toad house using a milk carton and pebbles that I've collected. This will go in the "toadville" section of my garden. Hopefully I'll get a toad to take up residence
