Gazebo Revisited

When the tag covering the metal empty power box at the Gazebo went away, a lot of my friends were sad. We all liked it's bright colors and I think Dave was really glad to help me put it up.
Well, I was determined to replace it, but perhaps with something more sturdy and something that while beautiful, would blend in like the one that is still on the lamp post down by the Gazebo.
Then I saw this helpful video posted on Where the Woolly Things Are about making flowers. I decided that it would be perfect for a tag in the garden to have flowers on it (you can't really see all the flowers and flowering plants surrounding the Gazebo, but they're there!)

Tada!
I think it looks really pretty! And blends in really well!

Here's a close up look at the flowers. I think the camera made the yarn look a lot bluer than it really was. It is really kinda bluey green, but not that blue.

Here's how I left it at the Gazebo. I hope this one stays there a good long while.
Enjoy!

A gift for a friend

So, I have these two good friends. They helped me out when things really sucked for me, when I didn't have a place to live.

Anyways, I decided that I would do something nice for them. See, they bought a new house and now it is looking pretty fab, because they have spent the last 6 months fixing it up. One of my friends showed me her garden out front, which included a little gnome and his acompanying toadstool. I was inspired to add to her little garden.

Tada! I saw someone do rocks for a beach and got inspired to do my own rocks. Once I did them though, I wasn't sure what to do with them.          

I think they make a perfect addiction here though. I didn't tell my friend that I tagged her garden though. I am just waiting to see if she see's they and realizes it was me or not.

You can see the gnome in this one... not really the toadstool, but the gnome. And the birdbath.

My friends garden is really quite pretty.

I can't wait to make more of these rocks. Perhaps I should do a series of them where I leave knitted (ok, crocheted) rocks in random places. That sounds like fun.

Enjoy!
