DIY NZ...Stake Toppers
I am always looking for unique eye catching things for our gardens/yard. I love being able to recycle junk of all kinds. The more junk I have in my junk pile the better I like it.
I was going through one of the many gardening books we have lying around here the other day and ran on to these cool things called stake toppers. I said to myself. "Self, how can we use these in our yard to be something unique and worth a second look?" And just look what Self had to say...
I chose these two old fishing lures from Mark's tackle box. I had to fight off the spiders and cobwebs to get into it...so I guess he won't miss them.
I thought the bee would represent me because I am allergic to bee stings. How appropriate? Plus I thought the movie was pretty darn cute. Then the wooden spools. Those were my Mom's (don't worry, I have tons more) and I thought since I quilt, those would be a great addition.
Anytime a dish gets a chip in it, they go into the garden. I think we might have two different color sets in the yard right now. A feeder for all the little critters that roam our yard day and night...moles, voles, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, snakes...and those are only the ones I have seen.
I am still searching for thing for Sarah and Ella. Then I might just have to move on to Cassie,trevor, Ellis, Alaire, Emmy, Bryce, Seau. Tini, Tobi, Peep, Mamaw and Papaw...the list in endless...who knows. So I guess that means I need to go clean out some more closets and drawers.
