Harry and Mary have the grandkids for the weekend so they're having a big cookout. Gregory is playing fetch with Henry, the dog. Brittani won't put her mp3 player away but they are still having fun, lol. Harry has burgers and ribs on the grill and plenty of cold beer. Mary's made potato salad, a tossed salad and a yummy cherry pie. Maybe I'll join them. ;)
These tools were not easy to do. I had a lot of trouble making the pieces stick together. My metal to metal glue didn't hold the metal pieces together like it should have so I had to experiment with glues. I'm still not 100% satisfied with the tongs but I do like the spatula, fork and sauce brush.
Last night I decided the back porch needed a bigger lawn area. I started with some scraps of grass that my friend Tina gave me. I had to piece them together on a cardboard base. I added the pine on the back left corner and the planter full of petunias on the porch.
I found these shrub looking things at The Dollar Tree in the floral department. They actually work pretty well for shrubs. I added the rock borders around the beds and the stone sidewalk area. That was made from self stick tile scraps that I cut to the shapes I wanted and stuck down. Easy peasy!
The little corner bed is waiting for me to try making a rose bush.
