Bee balm (Monarda Didyma) was in full bloom in my garden a few years ago at the side of an old shed we needed to tear down. I didn’t want to loose it, so I decided to move it to a split rail fence closer to the house. Bee balm is easy to transplant. Since…
Tricycle Planted with Pansies
Do you have a favorite flea market find that you always buy? Vintage vases, old galvanized buckets, or gardening tools? Well, tricycles are my weakness. I currently have 4 or more in my shed, so on a pretty day last week I pulled this tricycle out and planted it with pansies. Pansies are…
Vintage Style Spring Moss Purse
While trying to organize some of my craft supplies and junk finds, I came across three little moss purses I had purchased a few years ago. I also found a few doilies for another project, and a pair of vintage flower earrings. These would be cute for a vintage style spring moss purse. Spring is…
Dollar Store Farm Animal Pincushions
I didn’t go into the Dollar Store last week looking for pincushions. Honestly, I can’t remember what I went for, but as usual, I couldn’t resist going back to the garden department. I spotted these little ceramic farm animals with the artificial succulents in them. My initial thought was these would look cute with real…
TerraCotta Pot Crafts
Terracotta pots aren’t just for planting in! I use for decorating, to put gifts in (lip balm, garden soap, hand balm) scattering around the garden for decorating, and creating some great Terracotta crafts. Anytime I’m out junking, I look for Terracotta pots and I have amassed quite a few of them. While at a local…
Repurposed Garden Tote
We have had unseasonably warm weather for the last few days. In fact, it is 73 degrees today, about 20 degrees above normal. I won’t get fooled into sneaking a few spring seeds into the ground, but it is a perfect day to complete a few projects that have been on my to do list. …
Bath Salts Christmas Ornaments
I was in Michael’s Craft Store a few days ago and saw these clear Christmas ornaments. I am going to a Christmas craft show this weekend, and needed some “quick and easy” additions to the other products I am taking. They were perfect for creating some Bath Salts Christmas Ornaments, and would make great stocking stuffers,…
Christmas Herbs: Rosemary
When I think of Christmas herbs, rosemary doesn’t usually come to mind. Frankincense and myrrh are known by most people as the rare and expensive herbs brought to the Christ child after his birth. But, after reading an article about Rosemary and it’s significance at Christmas I was surprised to find that Rosemary, or the…
Cover Crops: Turn a Brown Garden Green
My garden is now finished, and as a gardener, I’m still looking for reasons to be out in it. The weather is mild, the garlic still needs to be planted, and the strawberry and asparagus beds are yet to be cleaned out. Instead of letting the garden lay idle all winter, open to weeds and…
Herbal First Aid Salve for Dogs
Our dogs are not just pets, they are part of our family. When they get cuts, scrapes, sores, abrasions and hot spots, we want to treat them with a natural product that not only heals, but reduces the risk of infection. After my last dogs, Murphy and Corky died a few years ago, I said…
