DIY Saturday – How To Make A Rain Barrel

May 18, 2013 By Manuela

I have three rain barrels and they sure do come in handy! Especially during the summer when we have water restrictions. They also help keep my water bill down in the summer when my garden needs lots of water. Here’s a very easy way to make your own rain barrel out of a garbage can!

We have two of our rain barrels hooked up to downspouts on the house and we added a gutter to our barn and have one barrel on a downspout there. You do need to elevate your barrels to get the water flowing from the spigots.

DIY Rain Barrel

Supplies:

1 large plastic garbage can (the larger it is, the more water you can collect, but if you have a small garden a small one is still very helpful)
1 tube of watertight sealant or roll of Teflon tape for plumbing
2 rubber washers
2 metal washers
1 hose clamp
1 spigot
A drill
Landscaping fabric

Directions:

For the tutorial on how to make your rain barrel go to Better Homes & Gardens - it’s really easy!

***Link up your creative homemaking/gardening/cooking posts tomorrow at the Creative HomeAcre Blog Hop that I’m co-hosting. It goes live in the morning and it’s a great way to find new blogs and have new readers find you!****

My Painted Stair Makeover

May 17, 2013 By Manuela

It was over a year ago that I started talking about how my poor front stairs need repainting and how I was looking around for ideas. Here’s the post with some of the ideas I was considering for making over my stairs – Painted Stair Ideas.

I didn’t do what I thought I was going to do…as usual. But I did finally do something! It took me a long time to finish these stairs (are you surprised?).

I started them last year and for the longest time they just had primer on the risers and one coat of paint on the steps. Which of course wore away in a few months and was embarassing since these are the first things you see when I open the door.

I used these house numbers from Home Depot and spray painted them and sealed them. They were the flatest cheapest numbers that HD carries. They come with really long nails which I used on one number and then I realized I could use shorter finshing nails instead and save me some hammer’n. I used porch and floor paint from Lowe’s for the steps and semi-gloss for the risers. I figured semi-gloss is easy to wipe down.

This is how they originally looked (except much more worn). This is from my old camera so please excuse the quality of the photo. I had painted the steps a cream color and then painted a runner in a terra cotta color down the middle. I used a wall decal which I separated and added to my risers. I did this when we first moved in and took the nasty carpeting off the steps. They were in bad shape and we didn’t have money or time to totally redo them so I painted them and they lasted over 7 years! And that’s with us constantly using them plus a dog!

I thought black and white would be classic and blue numbers would be fun!

My color inspiration was one of my Katie Daisy prints I have hanging in the foyer. It’s called Magic Farmhouse.

I’m so happy to mark that project off my to do list!

Blooms On A Budget

May 15, 2013 By Manuela

Do you dream of having a really lush and beautiful garden. I do! We have a large suburban lot – a corner lot – and I’ve been faced with trying to landscape it without emptying our 401K ! Here are some things that I’ve done in my Georgia garden that have helped me garden on a budget.

I hope some of you find this helpful. I’m sure all you experienced gardeners already do these things and maybe you could share what has worked for you in the comments.

My Thrifty Gardening Tips

1. When buying plants always check to make sure that your cell packs have plants in each cell. Sometimes a 6 pack will only have 5 cells filled with plants. I also check to see if I can find a cell pack with extras that I can divide. When I buy the single pots I try to make sure I buy one that is easy to divide.

This pot had four very distinct plants. The others I looked at had one or two bushier plants.

This was cheaper than buying a cell pack!

2. Learn to propagate! It’s really not that hard! I LOVE hydrangeas and they are so easy, easy to propagate. This is my favorite way to propagate hydrangeas and forsythias..

It’s called ground layering.

I select a branch that is close to the ground.

I scrape a little bit the outside of the stem off preferable at a leaf nodule.

Lay the part down into the dirt and put a rock on top and then wait. I usually do this during the growing season – spring and summer.

Soon you’ll have another plant. I wait until the new plant is pretty well established before I cut it off from the mother plant and I usually leave it where it is for a few weeks so it can get used to growing on it’s own.

The hydrangea pictured below, under the Dogwood is about 4 years old now. The only hydrangea I’ve had trouble with is Oakleaf but usually this variety will have off shoots that you can dig up.

All the hydrangeas along this fence have been propagated by me with the exception of the first one. As you can see, they get smaller as you get to the end because those are the newer ones. All you need is patience and the will to suppress the desire to impress your neighbors with an “instant” garden. (The plant to the right of the last hydrangea are some blackberries creeping under the fence)

I do the same thing with forsythia. Although, I’ve found that left to it’s own devices it will do it by itself! Once you have one Forsythia you have the potential to have lots of babies under and around the main plant.

This branch has rooted and now it’s time to detach it from the mother plant.

Vines are also good candidates for this method.

The other way is to propagate is to take a cutting, especially if you’re trying to do many plants at once. Here is how Martha Stewart does it.

3. The other thing I do is buy the smaller pot. This little Knock Out Rose will be as big as this older one in one or two years. Especially if it’s happy where it is and the soil is good. Things will fill in. Also, plants that are started smaller are usually healthier than planting larger versions.

4. Plant division is another way to propagate what you have! That’s why even though perennials are more money upfront, thrifty gardeners know that you’ll get more than just that one plant in the end. Day Lily, Daisies, Coneflower, Yarrow, Black-Eyed Susan, Mint, Sage, Bleeding Heart and Lupines are just some of the the plants that you can propagate by division.

Plants that grow from bulbs, tubers, rhizomes are super easy because they automatically multiple underground and therefore it’s easy to see where to divide them. Bearded Iris, Daffodils, Gladiolas, and Dahlias are examples of these types of plants.

The common rule of thumb is to divide spring-blooming perennials in the fall to to divide fall-blooming perennials in the spring. Summer bloomers can be divided anytime. If you divide in the summer be sure to give your new plants extra TLC because of the heat and less rain. Remember even though perennials may seem expensive, for a small investment you’ll get a big return.

Daylilies – I will dig up clumps of daylilies and plant them in other parts of my yard. I usually wait until they bloom because otherwise I don’t know what color they are. But if you’re more organized than me and mark your plants then early spring is a good time. I just give mine extra water. Like this Stella d’Oro that I just divided and moved here.

These Daylilies were divided and moved here. This is one year growth! See how big they are already. They can be divided again this year.

Hostas are perfect for propagating by division! I usually dig the whole plant up and then you can see where you can separate it. Just be sure that each piece has its own roots.

I normally divide my Hosta in early summer or late fall so I know what kind it is. By then it’s usually fairly large and it’s pretty easy to see where to make divisions. Just be sure to give it’s lots of water if you do this in the summer!

Every year I buy a coleus and I always say I’m going to propagate it since I love them. They come in so many colors these days and now there are ones that can handle sun. Did you know that the more red pigment in the leaves the more sun it can tolerate? So this year I remembered and all you have to do is: pinch some off!

Yep, Coleus will root in water! Just change the water every few days and you’ll have a roots in no time.

If you have more time than money, like me, this is the way to go! There are many, many more plants than I showed in this post than can be propagated and divided. Of course growing from seed is a huge money saver too as is buying bulbs and swapping with friends.

I hope you’re inspired to try some of these techniques for a cost cutting garden!

DIY Paper Doily Wreath

May 13, 2013 By Manuela

I found a bunch of paper doilies at the thrift store a few months ago and was trying to think of what I would use them for and came up with a rolled paper doily wreath! I’ve been wanting to make a rolled paper wreath for some time now and here was my opportunity.

I think it’s so pretty and lacey looking!

As usual I didn’t have a real wreath form but honestly for this type of wreath it doesn’t mater.

I used a dinner plate and cut a circle from a piece of foam core that I had laying around. You could also use cardboard. Anything with a bit of weight to it because when it’s completed it is a little on the heavy side (unless you make a little one and then a cereal box would be fine).

Roll a bunch of doilies into a cone shape. I used a low temp glue gun to seal the cones and even though I thought I had rolled a lot, I had to roll more as I got to the end of making my wreath.

I found the center of my circle and I made another little circle the size of a tea cup saucer around that because you’re going to hot glue the point of your cones to outside edge of the small circle. I’m not giving sizes because it all depends on how big you’re making your own wreath and what size doily you use for your cones – just eyeball it. You can always lay it all out before gluing anything down.

As you can see they don’t line up perfectly (at least mine didn’t). I knew I’d be putting a second layer of cones and that would hide any gaps. The second layer is glued down in that open circle and they’re a little shorter (cut the point of the cones down). I used 42 doilies in total because I had two layers. These were 8 inch doilies.

You’ll need to hot glue something to the center to hide where all the cones meet. I used a little frame from Michaels with some scrapbook paper in it. You could make some paper fan flowers or whatever strikes your fancy.

I think this will be a fun summer time wreath! You can do the same thing with any kind of paper you have if you don’t have paper doilies. Magazine pages, book pages, sheet music, scrapbook paper, atlas pages…anything really.

Try it! It’s an inexpensive yet great looking wreath!

DIY Saturday – Make Your Own Flower Tower

May 11, 2013 By Manuela

Happy Weekend Everyone! Here’s a really easy project that will make quite the statement in your garden! A DIY flower tower!

Instead of a flower tower you could also make it a vegetable tower. It’s really like a big strawberry planter – so you could do strawberries/lettuce/herbs or a mixture of things. As long as they all have the same soil and watering requirements they should all live happily together. This is great space saver and an example of gardening vertically!

DIY Flower Tower

Supplies:

4 ft of galvanized wire fencing (less if you make it smaller)
tin snips
zip ties
landscape fabric
flower pot
flowers
potting soil
scissors

Directions:

For the tutorial on how to make your own flower tower planter go to the Home Depot Garden Club (this is the pdf page so you can print out the instructions)

***Link up your creative homemaking/gardening/cooking posts tomorrow at the Creative HomeAcre Blog Hop that I’m co-hosting. It’s a great way to find new blogs and have new readers find you!****

What’s Growing In The Garden This Week?

May 10, 2013 By Manuela

The garden is flourishing due to the abundant rain and sunshine that’s we’ve experienced lately! I thought I’d share of few photos of the flowers and edibles that are growing in my yard.

I’ve got the most beautiful stand of foxgloves! They popped up where I usually have hollyhocks and the hollyhocks popped up elsewhere (they haven’t bloomed yet).

The blackberries are going to be amazing this year! All those blossoms will be berries.

All the roses are blooming beautifuly. The pale peach rose in the foreground is a Savannah Rose.

The strawberries will be ready to eat soon if I can keep the chipmunks out! I have them netted to keep the birds out but those chipmunks always find a way in AND they don’t eat the whole berry. They’ll just take a bite! So annoying!

The red climbing rose that’s at the front of the house on one of the pillars is in bloom. It’s looked better other years – but still quite pretty against the white of the house.

I’m getting artichokes!! This is my first year! I have two artichoke plants but this one is doing better than the other one.

The Clematis always surprise me! One day there’s nothing and the next you have some big gorgeous blooms!

Lastly, one of my pink Knock Out Roses.

I wanted to invite all you creative homemakers to The Creative HomeAcre Blog Hop that I’m co-hosting on Sundays. The party link is up really early so you can link up your post before heading out to enjoy your Mother’s Day!

Decorations I Made For My Office Makeover

May 6, 2013 By Manuela

I guess I could have titled this post paint and paper are a frugal decorators best friend ! I started thinking about changing my guest bedroom into an office/craft space January 2012 when I shared some office desks from Ikea that I was considering buying. I know…it takes me a while to get to things! My only excuse is that I didn’t feel well for a good part of last year. So my energy was focused elsewhere.

Well we finally bought a desk at Ikea (actually 3) for me a few weeks ago and it’s not any of the ones I showed in that post! Although it’s kind of a combination of them. They have a make your own option with various table tops and legs available.

We used two to make an L-shaped desk for me. The other one is my craft table. I chose red legs (of course)! I’m thinking of making a skirt to go on the outside of the two sides of the L. There’s a lot of good storage space under there but I don’t want it to look messy.

Anyway, this post is more about the cute decorations I made for the room like these scrapbook paper fan flowers/paper medallions. I plan on making more – some out of maps. If I waited until I was completely done with them all before I showed them to you, it would probably be another year before you saw them! They are really, really, REALLY time consuming to make (but so cute and cheap)! I have to give myself a little break before making some more

These tissue paper flowers were much easier to make!. I’d love to find a petite chandelier to hang in their place or maybe some fun Chinese lanterns. Until I find that perfect “something else” I’ll enjoy looking up at these fun, colorful tissue paper flowers! They’re hung with fishing wire and push pins in the ceiling.

I spray painted the frame of a little chalkboard that I’ve had forever (used to be white). I think it used to be a painting that I just painted over with chalkboard paint. It still is marked with the price I paid at Goodwill for it $3.53! I just loved the frame. I thought it would be good to write little encouraging phrases or things to think about on it. “Bloom Where You Are Planted” is actually what my About Me page is called. It’s something I’ve been trying to do for many many MANY years!

You can find this printable on my Free Printable Pinterest Board. I just have it on a clipboard to make it easy to change out. I love free printables!

Hoop art is really light weight and easily hung from my bulletin board.

I have to make a decision about curtains and some organizing things and a few more decorative touches and I will be done soon…unless I decide to rip out the old carpeting and paint the floor!

The bookcase that I’m using in the office that I made over
