What were your best garden bargains in 2004?
Comments (13)hi everyone..been on GW for a while..but this is the first time I've visited here...and look forward to becoming more neighborly! My best bargains this year: 100 hundred hostas for a buck a piece..from Gilbert Wild Co. 150 irises...thought there were only a few in an old bed on the property...suprize! 100 daylilies...also dug up from same bed! It was too overgrown to see them! I thought these two "bargains" terrific, DH gave me that "WHAT? another bed!" look LOL Silver Lace Vine...$7, but it was very spindly..keeping fingers crossed. Woodsy...See MoreGotta share my JCP bargain of the day. What's yours?
Comments (3)Now THAT's a deal! I got 3 Simply Vera Wang tops for $37.60. If I'd paid the regular price it would have been $94.60. I was happy. Wouldn't pay much less than that for 3 tops at Wal-Mart....See MoreWhat's your latest obsession?
Comments (61)SunnyC, you should start a new obsession thread every month. I enjoy reading everyone elses "preoccupation"lol! obsession Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion. You asked for a pic of my finished stenciled wall. I did this project at work, not at home. I wanted something a bit over the top in scale. The scroll is almost 3' high though I wish I could have found one about 5'. The walls are 24' so it would have been kinda cool if I brought them up even higher. Didn't want to stencil from an extension ladder though. A broken bone is not in my plans for the future! Anyway, here is a pic. Product has been hastily thrown back in place, so just look at the wall please:) For perspective, the pink is painted to a height of 9'. The stenciling goes around the corner about another 20'. So that project has now led me to the next phase of my obsession which is painting this harlequin pattern on an opposite wall. I'm thinking just a shot of it. Three rows wide and going up about 12'. I found a company that offers diamond shaped stencils in a 4' x 2' size. I could achieve the Harlequin pattern with painters tape, a level and a tape measurer, but that's giving me a headache thinking about it.......See MoreMy latest craft....what's yours?
Comments (4)Well, that's cute! I think it'll get a lot of attention. Love those Michaels coupons! I don't have a new craft; old-fashioned rug hooking (strips of wool fabric pulled through linen) is still my thing. But I recently finished a Chinese Waterdragon mat I've been making for my granddaughter for Christmas. Now I have to bind the edges--my least favorite part. The sides are squared, not wavy as they look in this picture. (The mat was sitting on an uneven surface.)...See More
