Robin Nest & Chandelier

 

Look what I discovered.

I couldn't see in the nest

because I'm a shorty,

but I held my phone up 

over my head and

took this photo.

Do you see the nest,

this robin built it on top of 

the birdhouse.

I guess she wanted a penthouse :)

This  chandelier is one I made for the 

back porch of our old house.

I glued tea cups and saucers

and 

then had battery tea lights inside.

This is what it looked like

when I bought it at 

a thrift store for $10

After removing what I didn't want . . .

I painted it white.

It's been out in 

the shed for years now

& 

some of the tea cups had broken

so I decided to make it over

for my front porch. 

I purchased these at 

the Dollar Tree. 

and this strand of 

solar fairy lights 

on Amazon.

                                                        

                                                       

I just used one strand.

I wrapped the lights around 

each (whatever you call them)

on the chandelier

and down the center pole.

When my little flower pots

where all stuffed 

and hot glued

I added them to the 

fixture. 

Here's the best

night photo that 

I could get with my phone.

I hope that this inspires

at lease one of you

to try repurposing 

something.

It's so much fun!

God bless you all.

Recycled Tea Cups, Saucers and Odd Dishes

 I know that everyone

has seen these glue and dish

projects . . .

they are all over Pinterest.

That is what I did this evening 

and thought I would share. 

Good old E6000 glue.

One for a candle.

An another for a bar of 

heavenly smelling soap.

This soap was a little gift

from a friend 

and I wanted to place it

on something special.

It's what started my whole 

craft project :)

That's my post . . .

short and sweet.

Have a lovely weekend

&

God Bless You All

Spring Walk Through The Garden

 

Spring is in the air 

and planting time has begun.

Normally I don't start planting 

until the second week in May 

and sometimes not until 

the middle of the month,

but our forecast says

no more frost so I'm 

starting early.

Hopefully by Monday

I'll have my garden

completely planted. 

The rhubarb and spring flowers

are strutting their stuff.

Pie anyone?

I just love this 

time of the year!

🌷🌸🌹🌱🌹🌸🌷

This is where I'll be 

spending my time 

this week until I've got

all my plants and seeds 

safely in the ground.

That is if the critters

don't get to them . . .

birds, squirrels, and those

terrible little things

that eat them off

at the stem during the night. 

🌷🌸🌹🌱🌹🌸🌷

Here's to all my gardening

friends . . .

Happy gardening, enjoy the process.

We plant the seeds,

but God causes the growth.

I know that verse pertains to

sharing the gospel . . .

but it kind of fit in

the garden, too 😇

God bless you all,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
