Oh My Gosh, I sure have missed my blog. I didn’t desert my post; things have just been busy and I needed to take a little unplanned hiatus, I guess you could say.
Our household occupancy increased by three, in February, for the summer. Us, and our daughter, have been preparing to finish up some remodeling projects in our homes, and begin some new ones. There’s been a lot of sorting and organizing, purging and purging, and lots of double duty grandma and grandpa time going on. We’re gearing up for a very busy summer, but very thankfully, all is good, no, great!
Its not all work and no play though. In May, a group of us checked out the awesome shops along the @https://www.facebook.com/LincolnHwyJunkathon/. I scored big at @sweetbettylous in Paton, Iowa, finding some great pieces for making old world style and salt shaker garden stakes for the https://www.facebook.com/BackRoadsJunkItTrail/.
Getting back in the swing of things, I thought I’d share some pictures of more garden stakes made using the basic steps from my Aug 2016 posts. I have so much fun making these.






I’m itching to get started on some new projects. I’ll be back soon!
Really beautiful.

Lovely! I’ve been hoarding my glass over the winter and you’ve given me some inspiration. Are these sealed against water?

Thank You Debbie. I sprayed a clear sealer on only the metal pieces before assembly, that is all. Metal and glass contract and expand differently during cold temperatures so I do store mine in the garage during the wuinter so they don’t ice over and break the glass.
