two new projects

Found these ideas interesting and wanted to share them with my blogging  friends, the stepping stones I thought were interesting and a new twist from the traditional (very crafty) ,great to make a walk way, the turbine I love ,I will surely have one of these at the nursery soon,of course I will have to put a different touch to it,don't you just love seeing new ideas and taking them home and putting your own special style to it. The post with the signs is such a crafty little idea for your garden ,you could use old tin, metal shingles, boat paddles ,are maybe you have some interesting items just waiting to me made into cute little signs,great for names of your children and grandchildren,herbs,old boy friends HE HE! just use your imaginations and have fun, happy gardening and junking Kathy

pond fountain

Thought you  may enjoy this project ,fortunately we already had the pond ,so it was not a start from scratch project,you could also use an old bath tub for this project,just use your imagination. We started with an old garden gate which I decided to use blue for the primary color,we used metal clamps around the fence post and screwed them into the wood frame on the pond,next we layed our containers out ,you can use any old metal buckets holes are no problem because they do not hold any water,a watering can is great for the top.put your pump inside the pond and run the tubing up thru the bottom of the can (ours just happened to have a hole in the bottom) and out the spout. Stack your pans to look as if they are joined together and wire to the gate,some of ours are sitting on the side of the pond, plant with your favorite plants and enjoy.

repurposed bird feeder

this is a fun project using tractor disk found at a flea market and metal tubing found at the locale farm supply store. The disk have a hole already in them so all you need to do is turn one upside down for the stand and weld and the other disk will be the feeder turned right side up.After the welding of the base you will use your found flea market treasures to adorn it,(pot hangers,birds,butterflies, birds ,etc.) To paint I wanted a rusty patina so I lightly sprayed with outdoor rust primer and set out side for the weather to do the rest.
enjoy
