You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Happy Monday dear friends. I hope your weekend was awesome. Ours was nice but very cold compared to Friday. Rain, dropping temps and high winds. I guess sometimes we have to have rain and cooler temps to appreciate the very nice days. 

We had dinner with family out on Friday. We don't usually go out on Friday, but my FIL wanted to get fish so we went. Probably not again - too crowded. Then On Sunday night, we had dinner at my BIL. It is always nice to spend time with family. 

I hope you had some time with family. Enjoy your week ahead.

Thursday Favorite Things Party

Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #thursdaayfavoritethings #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday dear friends. it has been a wonderful week so far. We actually had some rain yesterday and today. It has been some time since we had any rain so it was welcomed. 

It always amazes me how my plants do so much better with rain instead of me watering them. When i checked on them today, they looked great. Even my seeds popped up. What a little rain will do. 

With St. Patrick's Day coming soon, I thought I would pick all posts having to do with St. Paddy's Day. Enjoy!

Have a great day and a wonderful upcoming weekend.

Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.

Something Good from a Broken Ladder

Something Good from a Broken Ladder

After Christmas, we were at my daughter's helping to take down her Christmas lights. Hubby was up on the roof, getting lights and blowing off leaves. When he came down I was holding the wooden ladder for him. As he placed his foot on one of the rungs, it broke and the ladder smacked me in the face but I held on so he would fall. It was a 10 ft wooden ladder. 

He said, I will cut it up and throw it out. I had other ideas. I made him cut off the top, above the broken rung part, for me.  I knew I wanted to fix it up and put my flowers on it.

It didn't start out like this, it was rather tattered especially after the break.  it had been sitting outside for awhile at my daughters.

I was originally going to leave it in its original state. However, I wanted to add boards so I could set my planters on it. I used boards from a pallet. It did not look good with a worn ladder and newish pallet boards.  

My friend gave me some stain when she moved and there was a Red Mahogany that was full. The others were not and I knew I would need lots of stain. So that is what I used. It is darker than I wanted but the stain was free and with all of the sun here, it will fade.

Hubby had to add a board from front to back on the bottom so we could then lay boards down and have something to nail to. 

On the second shelf, we nailed them from front to back since we could use the existing step and back rung. 

For the top shelf, this is where it folder out so you could place your paint tray. Since this piece folded down, we nailed the sides of it to the ladder and added another board. 

I added a coat of Thompsons Water Seal to the entire ladder. 

Now it was ready for plants.

I have lots of spider plants. You can't believe how many I have given away and even thrown away.

I was able to get many of my plants off the ground. I am thrilled with it.

When my daughter saw it, she said "is that my ladder"? I said yes. she wanted it back lol!
