The Cinder Block Bench!!!

This Project was super easy, We didn't have the Cinder Blocks but they were only 2 bucks a piece, I used paint I had that didn't work out for another project, and the wood was just small rail road tie like pieces that my husband salvaged from a work site, the back is a pallet also salvaged, so the main expense was the the cushion. The pillows I made buy sewing couch fabric samples together and stuffing with plasic bags.

 

We started by painting the cinder blocks

 

 

I had helpers...

 

And a pro photographer!

 

 

All done with that, now I let it dry and put the wood in the three slats in the second row

 

Add some cushions a pallet for the back and a cutie!

 I changed out the cushions for the one in the top picture to match my colors better but I had to put this pic up because that boy is cute!!!

Time out for the FAIRY GARDEN

FAIRY GARDEN TIME!!!

So I found some moss in some three hanging planters in the forest at my friends place... He was kind enough to give them to me although I have to be honest I must have seemed a little crazy to be so excited about the gift of free moss. But now look at this beaut! First I transplanted the moss in this lovely little strainer with garden pictures on the base. Then I needed to go to Hobby Lobby to get my fairyrific stuff!

I bought the fake watches, stamps, cards, little bird house, little flower pots and lantern, and butterflies and the rest I had on hand. The kids had just broke that ruler so yay, more fun for me!

A little Modge Podge...

    A Little More Modge Podge...

 

 

And Here she is!

 

 

Next I started Tinkering (A little Tinkerbell Pun for you since it is a fairy garden)

I made a table and chairs out of push pins and bottle caps and a fake watch and half a wine cork.

 

 

I made a little plant table out of a push pin and a penny and some swirly things to make a statement at the gate. I added a butterfly and two little hen and chicks... And here is our new Fairy habitat! I spent less than $20 dollars and have more supplies for the next one! Oh and their will be a next one! This is too much fun!!!

 

We had to redo it because Emerson decided to dump it on the floor! so the next time I added the rock path!

(The little chalk board with the paper clip was in the party section for only 1.99 for a pack of three)
