DIY Mason Jar Solar Light

DIY Mason Jar Solar Light

I have a long standing love affair with vintage blue mason jars.

So it only made sense that I would use mason jars to make simple DIY solar lights.

I simply used some ground hooks to hang them around the pool, but they work just as well on a tabletop.

Wicker Chandelier

Wicker Chandelier

Did you ever do a project that you really just love?

Did you ever love it so much, that you thought maybe you should share it again?

Maybe you are new around here and you never saw our wicker chandelier on our porch.

What I love the best about this project is that anyone can do it and the materials can so easily be found.

Galvanized Plumbing Material Succulent Garden

Galvanized Plumbing Material Succulent Garden

Today I want to share with you a succulent garden I made using galvanized plumbing material.

But first, there is story as to how I got here…

Last week, my girlfriend texted me right about the time my daughter’s bus arrives.  Normally, that would not be an issue, but in this case – I was still asleep.

Yup, totally overslept.  I was out cold.  Swore I set an alarm.  Didn’t.

Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal – just drive her to school and hope we make it on time.

But that day – was state testing.  The final day of state testing.  I should point out that we missed the bus the first day of state testing as well.
