Garden Projects & Beeswax Cone

Hello, everyone.  I hope you are doing well.  We are busy around here as the guys are full into planting.  The weather has been very cooperative so they are working very hard.  I have a  new offering today on my selling blog.  It  is a beeswax cone hanger. It is hand poured blackened beeswax scented with cinnamon and rubbed in spices. It is 4 1/2" tall, has a flat back, and is wrapped in aged cheesecloth with a sprig of sweet Annie. It comes with a battery operated tea light. It will look great on a peg rack or hanging from a cupboard door. Stop by to check it out. 

Some of you have seen this before, but I thought I would show it anyway for those who haven't seen it.  I made this trellis last spring for my clematis plant.  I am proud to say it lasted and just needed the wires tightened a bit this year and it was ready to go.  It is rather crude, but that is the great thing about primitive decorating!!

I have been working outside some. So many of my flower beds look so sad....either too many weeds or plants that just don't do well.  I thought that I only have 2 years until we start having kids graduate so I better start getting something done. So with that being said.....out came the Roundup.  My DH always shudders when I get my sprayer out.  I really try to be careful, but sometimes it just doesn't work out too well.  I guess in a week we will see the damage or results!!  I picked up these tiles at GW for 50 cents each.  I wanted to get some stepping stones, but thought I would try these out first. 

 

Here are the results....

Well, that's all for today. Guess I'll go try to get some work done.

Take care!!
