Another DIY
Here I am again doing a DIY
and hunting through
Steve's scrap wood :)
I looked on Amazon for grow lights
to start seedlings.
I could purchase two lights
for $19.99
or
one light on a stand
for $42.29
able to squirt enough paint
out of that same bottle
that I painted the cabinet with
to paint this stand :)
🌱🌱🌱🍅🌱🌱🌱
Well, my thrifty decision
was to purchase two lights
and build a stand
that holds both lights
instead of purchasing
one that holds one light
for twice the price.
Now all I have to do
is go to town and buy
some soil to fill
my starter pots.
Seeds I already have.
🌱🌱🌱🍅🌱🌱🌱
It's suppose to get down to
9 degrees the next three days.
Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .
that's stay inside weather :)

Can't believe I'm thinking
about spring planting
when it's this cold outside.
Stay warm dear friends,
Your blogging sister,

My New DIY Ironing Station
Last Saturday a warm day
snuck in-between
all of our cold weather.
I used it
to go out to Steve's shop
and scavenger wood to create
a new ironing station.
This is what I had before.
I was bound and determined
to not buy anything
only using materials I could find
here at home and in Steve's shop.
This was all the paint
that I could find.
I ended up watering it down
to make it work.
Here it is finished.

You may have noticed
that I have wheels on one side
and not on the other.
I saw a cart on Amazon
made this way.
It kept me from having
to put locking wheels on one side,
which I couldn't find anyway.
I needed handles to make it
easier to lift it up
and
wheel it around.
I couldn't find any old handles
in the shop
but I did find these two coat hooks.
I just installed them upside down
so that I could put my hands under
them and lift.
It works great !
