19 years ago

Projects Gotta Do list!!! I've been so inspired lately that I figured I do a list to try and keep track.

So Far:

Dec POTM

Jan POTM

Crash Glass BB

Glass Hanging Thingy

Deer Yard Planter

Mosaiced table

Make garden borders and mosaic them

Dig steps down my sloping back yard

Pond in back yard

Horseshoe pit in back yard

Use all my hoarded bricks for sitting areas and steps in back yard

This is just what I can think of off the top of my head....

    Wow that will keep you busy for awhile,sounds like you are antisipating spring!Me too tired of being inside, want out.

  • 19 years ago

    I hate to write it all down, Jane. 'Fraid I'll scare myself with a long list!

    Let's see
    Jan POTM
    While I'm waiting for spring some inside mosaic projects
    Potato bin,
    shelf for under fish tank
    Bird house (or two or three)
    cat with gazing ball ( about half done now)

    when spring hits:
    Totems!!
    Butterfly feeder
    expand front garden ( yeah, less grass!!)
    Find a window for shed - either mosaic frame and put mirror in it, or do glass on glass
    Something for front of shed, trellis or rusty junk
    a few shiny dangly things for patio
    fix short wall -probably mosiac it
    do something with stump my DH DIDN'T have removed when we had a tree cut down

    that's before I get a gazillion new ideas from you guys!!

    Looks like we ALL need another lifetime to get it all done. It's what gets us up in the mornings.

    Naw, too long - too much space. :)

  • 19 years ago

    ROFL I'm doing so much I can't get all the other things I wanna do done!

    Nov POTM - actually have all the wood cut just gotta put it together
    Dec POTM - also have all the stuff for it gathered - but where's the time to put that together??
    Jan POTM - ummmm.... maybe I'll have that done by March??
    Grout the mirror ball
    Grout another project I finished months ago
    The Circle Garden - oh yeah! It's coming along and with any luck I'll be showing you pics by the end of the week!
    Finish making the trellises for the entrance to Our Lady Gardyn
    Finish paving the entrance of Our Lady Gardyn
    Then there will be all the paved paths needed to get from here to there. YIKES!
    Create more garden beds so I can plant the 300 odd potted plants that are dying (literally) to get outta those darned pots!!
    We've been getting terrible smoke from all the fires that are burning down here and some days it's so thick I can't even go outside! Combine that with 90 degree weather and it makes it hard to do anything. But I'm getting there.

    My work space is in the basement of the house and it's not heated so I can't work with grout when the temps down ther are 5C. Right now I have a few things to grout, so this morning I got the woodstove going down there and am waiting for the cozy warmth to settle in to start grouting...

    - Dolphin BB
    - Flower Power BB
    - Polka Dot BB
    - Valentine's Hearts

    I also want to start working on the January POTM so have to get DH to trim some White Birch branches which fell in the last wind storm.

    Then there's the shelves I want to build down there to keep all my mosaic pieces which I've hammered as well as tiles. Bought the wood for that yesterday.

    Then there's the spool bed which I'd like to make into a garden bench.

    Oh, and I must not forget the chess table.
    Ahhhh, so many things, so little time. You're right Slow - we all need another lifetime. Perhaps a clone?? LOL!

  • 19 years ago

    tiffy YES a clone- it could go to work (heck I might give it a 2nd job!) and do laundry and cleaning!!LOL

    My Too Long To Do List scares heck out of me if I write it all down. And half on there is all you GJer's fault .
    Since I discovered this site the list has taken on a life of it's on.
    Maria, in the new Birds & Blooms, a gal made the coolest fairy garden with her two ugly stumps. She painted doors and windows on them and put a path in front of them with pebbles. Too cute. I want a stump now!!!

  • 19 years ago

    Karen, something like that would be good for my stump, but it is a little one- about 1-2 inches above the ground. I was thinking maybe a fairy pond,using blue glass or tiles and doing something with the sides

    OOOhhh man. I am afraid to put my list in writing too!!! Things are comming alive outside. It's been way too warm here and all the spring plants have started springing!!! I still need to finish cutting back all the dead stuff.
    I have:
    An old metal chair I rescued from the dump that needs stripped and painted.
    The plastic rocking horse that needs done.
    Lots of totem parts that need more totem parts.
    Dishes to break for mosaic projects.
    Dh's old bike that I never redid.
    New flower beds to put in.
    And to get an overhaul on DH to make him more interested in helping me get this all done!! LOL!!!
    Oh yeah find a gold mine to pay for it all.
    I think I'll take a nap and worry about it later.

    purplemoon...is it the Birds N Bloom magazine, one of our forums (yes I am possessive, lol) or is it a web sit. I can not fine it and I do want to see it. June

  • 19 years ago

    June, I believe she's talking about the magazine. It has the most beautiful pictures.

  • 19 years ago

    If I write it down, will I get it done? Maybe it will help, so here goes:

    Make a potting bench from an old dresser I got from Freecycle.

    Paint and make cushions for a patio couch and chair I got from Freecyle.

    Mosaic a concrete 18" square to use as a patio table. (Gave away some of the dishes I was going to break for mosaic, so I have an excuse to go thrift shopping again). :o)

    Turn old used wheelbarrow into a flower garden.

    Tonight, in the midst of an ice storm, Spring seems so far away. I'm so glad all you garden junkers are here!
