Reefs, Crafting, and Other Random Things

This past weekend I spent some time outside doing yard work, and I'm pretty proud of what I got accomplished. There's still more that needs to be done, but I hurt my back pretty early on in the day and had to call it quits after a few hours. I'll be taking it easy this week and should be back to 100% by the weekend!  Anyway, here's some pics - befores and afters...  First I added some mulch, and big pavers (that's what screwed my back) to the front left side of the house. I also straightened the leaning birdbath and moved the planter (lillies) off the front steps. I need more mulch, probably at last 2 more bags.

I'll have to make a trip to the craft store soon!  The white cabinet is where I keep most of my supplies: fabric, thread, beads, paint, clay, knitting needles, and much, MUCH more! Once I'm done with the bottle cap magnets I will move on to the next project - I am thinking rock necklaces, as those are pretty easy to get done!  I also have a lot of ready-to-go projects (as I call them) taking up space on my sitting chair.  These are

In today's video, I go through the steps of how I made bottle cap magnets for our fridge. It took me a few tries, but I finally figured out a great way to create the magnets!   Materials: clean bottle caps, ceramic magnets, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, cardboard, 1in circle punch, electrical tape, and super glue gel Hope you like how these came out as much as I do!
