games and grown up warped stuff

Well, I lost the Monopoly game to the warped little one.....it is OK, you learn a lot from the one you loose too, ways to beat them.... ;)

Some little projects are done but, little ones make the bigger ones look better!

Water bottle holder


a place to set drinks and snacks while games are played and something to remember


a raised garden bed for our future garden area


a bench, we made 2 out of our neighbors old deck


our entry way message station. 

 My lovely warped husband painted the ceiling with oops paint. On his own!! He picked out the paint and just did it!!  Awesome!!


Planted pretties by the fence, added post lights, working on a window to hang on the fence to complete the cottage feel the fence provides.



Taught the warped little one how to eat an elephant. (One bite at a time)  It is a simple square frame to make a huge job seem smaller.  It does work!!


 A desk the warped hubby picked up on a curb, it will eventually be a potting bench. 


So far that is it for the updates.  Of course more to come!

warped back yard almost done!!!

This is what we have completed so far!  Lots and lots of mulch!!




I love how the table and chairs turned out!  My warped husband would like to router a checker board in the actual log........maybe.  The warped little ones cant wait for it to be nice and use it!

This area is still up in the air.  I would like a bench in between the pots of herbs.  Well it is a small up in the air.  ;)

Here are some before and after.....





(the bed pictured on the right now has rhubarb and asparagus!)


Hope you enjoy!  Thank you to my warped little ones for getting the job done, my warped neighbors for moving the stumps and pulling up fence posts, and my warped husband for going with my warped thoughts!  More to come of course!  There is alot more yard to finish!!!  The next project is grass for the back yard (well, better/more grass).

Time for catch up

Ok, what is first...fence.

We have the back yard done FINALLY!!!  Here is the progression.



The leafy area now houses this project.





Lets go through the arbor shall we?  What path do we choose?




I know.....time to dig


What else can we do?  Game table and chairs??
SURE!!

It has been too cold this week to get them in the back yard, but I am sure you remember my checker board/chess board?
That is going the the stump.
Here are some random pics of the back yard right now. 


This area is where the "table" is going.  I think we are keeping one of the poles for a badmitten net.
My curb find, broke.  It is fine, I am redoing it!  It used to look like this...





 The flower box is trying to grow onions, we had a frost here so I hope they survive.

well, that is what has been going on here for the past 2 weeks!!  It has been beautiful weather!!  So take advantage and run with it!!
