Friday Night Chit Chat and a couple Projects

Good Friday evening to you.It hasn't been a busy week around here.The weather for a couple day was rainy cool.Loved it when it was in the eighty's.I knew it was too early for that high of  temperatures but boy was it nice.
So while I couldn't go outside,I did find something to do.

I bought this barrel some while back I paid I think $5.00 and I had planned on a prim redo.So with the bad weather.I did finished it.

 I sanded off the Old Grand Dad sticker painted the sticker outline white then used my cricut to cut out Blessing and then stained it.I recovered it with a odd curtain panel.The barrel does have a plastic insert so this would be a very nice place for storage.

Today I did not go food shopping I thought we would eat off the stock pile and  freezer so far we are doing very well..I also did not top off the truck.We only used 1/4 tank so I am going to hold off.

That's all for me until next time.May the Lord bless and keep you.

Saturday DIY Tipsy Planter Garden pictures

Good Saturday night to ya.Today was a great day to be outside.Got a lot done on the yard.I did go to some yard sales this morning.But I didn't find anything I NEEDED.It was even better because a lot of the sales I went to was so close to my house.Didn't waste a lot of gas traveling around.But hubby and I saw something in someone yard that the both of us like.And hubby said I can make that for you.But more on that later.

I did take picture of the garden they are pitiful due to the plants are so small it almost looks like you are looking at dirt.

But believe it or not you are looking at tomato plants and pepper plants barley can see them.

Also put in cukes,squash,cantaloupes.

Today I put together a tipsy planter I saw sometime ago on the web on someones blogs.I am sorry for not remembering  whose blog.It looked like such a fun project.I had to do it.

I had to go though my Terra cotta pots and find the ones that would work for me.I had my husband drive a metal rod about 18" into the ground.This was my base then I took the largest to the smallest pots and stacked them.Filled them with potting soil and plants.The plants I spent not much at all at Walmart and Lowe's.Two 6 cell packs from Walmart $1.78 and 3 plants at  98 cent a piece from walmart, and one asparagus fern $1.98 from walmart.

Okay back to what hubby and I saw.It was a birdhouse.We went to this one yard sale and the lady had numerous birdhouse that were not functional but cute.We both really like them.So my hubby came home and made this.

The wood was given to us from a neighbor and the roofs are old metal paint pans.This is the design he liked.He is going to build me the one I like soon.
This is it in one of my beds

Fits right in.That's all for me until next time I hope the Lord keeps and bless you.

Friday Night Chit Chat and My Week in Review

I am so glad it is Friday.I don't know, but for some reason this week seemed liked it dragged on and on.I have been busy so it was not like I was sitting on my thumbs.

This week I began trying to get my heirloom tomatoes plants.Thinking this would be a easy task pop into my Walmart or Lowe's.But this was a no go.They had heirlooms in 4" and 6" pots and the asking price was $3.58 a pieces.This was not what I was expecting.I was looking for the cell pack 4 or 6 to a pack.For a much cheaper price.So Monday was a no go for putting my garden in.Tuesday I thought I would pop in to Home Depot to check to see if they carry tomatoes in cells packs.They do and I bought them.So I was able to put my garden in.
This year we planted tomatoes,peppers,green beans,squash,cukes,and cantaloupes.I really hope the garden does good.

Today I topped off the truck I only had to put $20.00 in to fill it up.Went grocery shopping Giant spent $32.95 got my gas point to 123.At Walmart spent $58.04.Total of $90.99.

For me this weekend I hope to hit some yard sales.Gonna be a big one less than a mile from my house 50 families.I hope to find something I NEED.
That's all for me.Until next time I hope the Lord keeps and bless you.
