~Garden of Hearts~

Garden Inspiration for Monday!
 Taking a walk through our garden to find 
hearts!




I almost missed these cute miniature heart stepping stones,
the ladybugs helped me find them!

I made this pretty rose wreath last year.
Heart sugar cookies for a sweet treat!
Hope you all have a wonderful week in your gardens!

~DIY Mosaic Stepping Stone Project and More Garden Ideas~

I've always loved mosaic projects.
Collecting vintage plates and saving them to use in our garden.
I just finished some stepping stones.
I wanted to share with you,
 how I made the mosaic stepping stones. 
There are lots of different shapes of stepping stones, 
you can purchase at your local garden store.
Immerse a concrete stone in water to wet thoroughly.
I cut the plates with a mosaic glass cutter and mosaic tile nippers,
 which I bought at Home Depot.
You can also use a hammer but, the cutters make the plate pieces smaller.
Always wear safety glasses.
I used a tile adhesive to affix the pieces and let dry for 24 hours.
Then I grouted with premixed grout.
Using a wet sponge, clean excess grout.
Let dry another 24 to 48 hours.
Here are some photos of the finished stepping stones.
You can find all kinds of pretty plates at flea markets, garage sales,
 estate sales and vintage stores.
Have fun making a mosaic stepping stone
 for your garden!!
Here's some more mosaic ideas for your garden.
A pretty brick!

Collecting is half the fun!
Be creative!!

~New Fairy Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays #222~

I wanted to share with you photos of our new miniature garden.
Stan took out some paper whites that had taken over this area underneath our birch tree.
After we saw it, we decided it needed some new paths around it.
So, Stan went to Home Depot and got some bricks.
I'm so lucky he loves to garden as much as I do.
After, he added the bricks on one side
 we noticed the area next to our raised beds needed them too.
I think Home Depot loves us!

We love how the new paths turned out,
 next to the miniature garden!

We added some new plants and you know me,
I will add more!





Our pumpkins are starting to grow now.
They will fill in around the miniatures soon!



I made some new banners out of washi tape for the fairies.
Wooden stakes to hang them up and
cut bark pieces for little stepping stones!

I love our new brick paths and fairy garden!

Happy Gardening!
