Ok that shop is awesome and nicer than some homes I have seen.Lucky duck!

You are so lucky to have a shop like that. I have to decide do I use the table to eat at or junk it or mosaic. Guess which one wins. LOL

Thank you...Yes I am veryyyy Blessed to have such a wonderful DH that works so hard to make a dream come true for me. My DD put the pic's on for me and was in a hurry for work. So i didn't get a chance to explain that there will be 2 windows across the front and 2 under the porch part. And another one on the side where there is just one. The inside will be whitewashed like you see and the windows will have cedar around them and the sill will be cedar. As so the floors. We work on it on the weekends. THeres still alot of work to do yet. THere will be a step that goes around the porch. And red metal to match the roof around the bottom. I wish I had you all here to make your wonderful things to sell in it. Gosh we'd have quite a business. You all are just great....

Awesome workshop...and so wonderful that you and your DH work on it together. Love the pots...especially the dried flowers (?) ones...however you did it, they are very nice. Are the other pots "fabric?" or painted? Jeanne S.

Hi Jeannespins, thank you. The pots are fabric. Actually bandanas. I use and outdoor mod podge on them. I spray the inside with a watersealer and the outside with a primer. Then MP the material on. THe others are glass candleholders with pressed flowers MP"ed on then white tissuepaper over. Then i take coppertape to outline. I'm a real novice when it comes to this stuff. But I like trying...

Novice? . . . Novice? And how do you think I'm gonna feel after you have a little experience???
The workshop is a dream. And you deserve it.

Oldalgebra, OMG if I could do half of what you guys do. I just wish I had the talent of you all here. I get so many ideals from you all. I can't believe all this time and I didn't know this site was here. Thanks.....

The shop is great. And wow, bandanas decoupaged is quite the idea. I better snag this for our Inspiration Album.
I love how they turned out. Tell your DH we think he's pretty great too.

hugs, Karen

That is a beauty!!! You could live there!!!!

Great shop.
I really love those pots.
Deb

Thanks for the praise. Purplemoon I'll tell him. He is a keeper. I'm glad I could inspire and ideal to use. He'll be tickeled that you all really like his handywork. Oh, my mom wants to move in there. Everytime she goes in it she starts pointing out where the bedroom would go and bath, ect....lol...

Very nice shop! I love your pots that look like bandanas! Did you paint those or did your decopauge them??? They're awesome!

Hi Marlene, they are decopauged. I found some on the MP site for outdoors. I put several coats on.

I love your shop, leveta! Were you the person asking about window boxes to put on a shop? Window boxes in red would be so darn cute on your shop.
Your bandana pots are terrific. Can I ask the name of the site where you got your info? I'm looking for a flower pot project for my young nieces at our next family reunion.
You have one great DH to build you your own room!

Hi akup, actually I got it from the craft and Dec. site. But the lady said she just tied the bandana around the pots with I guess something like baleing string. So i just took it one step further. Believe me it's very simple. If I can do it anyone can. There are so many pretty bandana's out there now. Yes I was asking about the windowboxes. Your right, red would look good. Thank You....

BANDANAS? WOW those pots are wonderful. I have never seen that one done. I feel a new spot coming on. Thanks(Ithink) for the new great idea. Your workshop is also terrific. I think several of us could fit in there and do projects some Saturday afternoon. You could teach a bandana pot class.

Love the workshop! I would probably never come out of there! lol! I think that is our dream to have a separate place to do our junking where we can just leave it until it's done. At least that's my dream! You and your DH did a terrific job on it! Those pots are adorable too. If you ever get a chance, post the URL for the site where you got the instructions from or gives us a blow-by-blow description of how you make them. Even I have room for something like that!

Hi Luna llena,
You just get your terra cotta pot, I seal the inside with a water sealer, and the outside with a primer just for a precaution since I'll be selling them. I find a bandana I like and cut it to suit me. I got outdoor decapoudge from the company since I can't find it anywhere here. I usually use around the edge for the top and sometimes the bottom since it is a stright line. Then just cut the rest to fill in. You may want to put the botton part on last. I use sisors(sp) with a zigzag edge to give a little decorative edge to it. I just came in,Dh and I just got done putting one side of the porch step on and a hand rail for the older people and little ones. Now our grandbabies can get up easier. Love those babies...

Wonderful crafting shed! You and your DH have done a wonderful job on it, and I love that you have the porch as well.

I'm not understanding how you Mod podged the bandanas on without getting lots of creases/folds in it. Maybe I just need to reread what you said again. Those are really neat, and other fabrics might work nice too. TFS

Luvs

Hi Luvstocraft, sometimes I do get the little air pockets. I use my finger to work out things like that the best I can. If I have to i use one of those knife things to cut a small slit in it and get the air out then put MP on my finger and work it in the cut. I also cut slits around the top piece to just up under the rim so i can get a better fit. Once you start one you will see things you need to do to get a better fit. Yes other fabrics would work great. It doesn't take much. I usually have material left from the bandana. Hope this helps.

It's all been said but, WOW!!!!! I am green with envy!!! What a wonderful family project.
I just want to know were you lucky ladies find these men who like to help with projects and junking!!!! I need to trade mine in!!!!
Leveta, please show us more pics as you finish your workshop.

LoL....I have been truly Blessed. My DH is 13yrs older then me. He works like a horse. I do worry about him sometimes over doing it. But like most men....Hard headed...lol..Yes I will put more pic's on as we get more done. I wish I could have everyone of you over for an open house party....

What is that humongous thing on the front porch of your shop, a saw? That is an awesome shop. I love those pots, I thought you had painted them. I'll have to get me some of that modge podge stuff.

Thanks for the info on the bandana pots, leveta! I wasn't sure how you cut the bandana but now I know. I never thought of decoupaging with fabric but it is a great idea. There are so many pretty prints out there, it would be fun to do it to coordinate with pillows, curtains, etc. Now that your work shed is almost done, you will have to churn out a lot of pics of the projects you do in there! Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the extra instructions Leveta, this project is going on my "Someday I'll do this" list. I love it. ;o)

Luvs

Wow, your hubby is one talented man! Your shop is really wonderful. It would look very pretty indeed with windowboxes. I love the red trim.

I also love your bandana pots. Sigh, too bad Kentucky is so far from Vermont; I'd be one of your many customers! My husband's mother's family was from Kentucky and he spent summers there as a kid. We made a couple trips there to visit his old haunts. There is some beautiful countryside in KY.

Thank you spedigrees. Oh I'd love to see Vermont. It's such a beautiful place. I bet the fall's are amazing. We live about 20 miles from the Bigger city of Owensboro. I'm glad there is something I can bring to you all. You all have brought so much to me with your talents....

Oh my I am green with envy !!! Would love to have a nice quiet space to keep and work on all of my stuff. Enjoy !

Thank you calicocat, Once it's done I'm sure I will be there alotttt...I love to set on the front porch. It's still a work in progress for now. I wish I could gather you all up and let you all have a spot to do your Junking. Could you imagine the talking...lol...I'd love it...People would come from miles around for you all's treasures...I have a little woodstove that will go in at sometime. THere's no electric for now. We use a cord for the electric. My DH has lights hooked up to run from it.
