This is what I'm been up to in the last few days, moving things around in general. My little next door neighbor helped and when the tires get removed we'll finish. He found my stash of half beads and wanted to take them home...I'm so stingy. Boys need marbles unless instead of bottle caps..that a new twist. He leaves chalk at my house. I think I'll look up the game and it teach him.

I wonder what the dogs are thinking....

It loks nice Yellow, though, I bet those beads will start to disappear. Your little friend may not be able to help himself. ;)

Well bottle caps are the right playing piece and that's ok, he told me he already had two and that he would put one back. I'm not surprised, He deserve a favorite. Got to keep them honest.

I'm just wonder about snow now and shoveling....summer is so not winter.

deb :mellow: you're making me drool here. Not only am I crazy about sedums & semps but I'm drawn to shiny objects. :lol: I love the look of the shiny beads. I have some upstairs left over from a project. I'll have to add them to my semp bed.

love it :wub: :wub:

Thanks, I may have never thought of that idea if not on a whim.
I'm obsessed with moving and changing things around and now that I'm almost on 2 legs, still with a cast....I want to do it more outside....I'm just so thankful I have many middle age guy friends that live at home with their parents and who can help me with inside. I never want to remodel again...yeah right like I haven't said that before.

I'll never be finished at least in the garden. Who is?

Here's an old laundry wash tub....I could never afford to get all that I wanted washed if I didn't thift shop because I'd rather spend it on a plant. I try to keep more cleaned than dirty.

Yellow you are so creative I love your ideas. Now we will all be using our leftover marbles for our semp and sedum beds. We can call them Yellow's S&S marble garden.

Tropicanna is a wonderful plant I have made two pots combos with it I love the look.

Looks awesome yellow!!! I really like the sedums with the red stones. The water plants that I put in my little pond have regular stone in the tops, but I put a few of the blue stones in there too. It really gives it a unique look. The decorative stones for aquariums also give your potted plants a nice look too. I've put some aqua colored stones leftover from my DS's aquarium on top of the soil in the pots. I love what you did with your barrel too, it really looks beautiful.

Love the beads with the sedum!! :wub: Now I'll have to go digging through my closet to see what I've got stashed in there that might work! ;)

Wonderful ideas! I have some blue marbles but they are shaped like a sea shell. I bought them for decorating the tables at my GD sweet 16 party. I used some in my pond and am putting some in the water container garden I made for my aunt.

I had to borrow your idea Yellow, I hope you don't mind. ^_^ ;) I made a nice seating area with stone, a park bench, the stepping stones I bought a while back from eckerd, and the little shiny glass beads scattered in the stone. The projects not complete yet, but as soon as it's done I'll post a picture, and dedicate that spot to you! :lol:
