Projects in the home and garden

Hello dear friends.   I thought I would share some of my projects, inside and out.
 
 
Late January I planted some stocks.
 
 
 
They have really grown,  no?... this photo below was taken yesterday... sorry about the fuzzy photo.
It was taken with the screen closed.. I did not want to scare of  Mr. Bun by opening the door.
 I asked him to look but not touch my stocks.. So far so good...
 
 
 
 
A little view from my front room window.
 
 
Another project below... See this door below?   My home has a built in cabinet with doors . They  had chicken wire attached, and I believe they were also hand made by the previous owner.. I grew  tired of the doors and really wanted a more simple line and glass... So off came the doors,
 (one shown below)
 
 
Before I go any further I would like to say,  I am no carpenter.. Although I love working with wood.
For the money I spent on wood that I cut the wrong measurements I probably could have hired someone to do it... But I was determined...
Yes my beloved always told me,  measure twice,  cut once...  I am sure he was looking down at me having a good old time, and shaking his head.   I have a nice stack of extra wood now in the event I get an itch to make something else..
 
 
 
So, with that in mind,  here we go.
 
Just me and my tools. I realize they are not perfect, but I have found over the years that nothing, and I mean nothing is ever level in the house..
 
 
 
 
I even put the glass in myself.. I asked at the hardware store if they would put it in for me when I purchased the glass...  I got a smile with a  ~no~ .  So I purchase the necessary hardware and did it myself.
 
 

I  sculpted some roses and leaves made of paper clay and affixed to the top corners.  
 
 
 
 
I just had to snap this photo of Zoe... Jasper was out in the kitchen kicking his bowl for breakfast and she just did not want to get up...  I do believe Zoe is an old soul.  She has never acted like a puppy. She does play, but in bursts!
 
 
Oh,  did I tell you I finally finished putting the fence up?  Good gosh, I thought I would never get done.
 
 
 Here is my old boy Jasper... Squinting .  He loves to lay out and soak up the warm sun.
As you can see, he has plenty of soft grass to sit on but prefers the warm cement.
 
 
Well, I guess that's it for now... 
Thank you all for taking tine to wander over for a visit..
Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead.
