Here is Yard Art

On July 15, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard12 Comments

So on Pinterest  you can find all these ideas... And if you're in "Whimsical Mode" and into mosaics, you will probably want to try some of those ideas yourself. Especially if you're trying to make your backyard drought-resistant and just a tiny bit bohemian (read: "eccentric" if you must).This is from September of last year, but …

Piece by Piece

On January 16, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics

In case you haven't noticed... I have been on a "mosaic roll" for awhile now. Awhile back I went outside to organize my "tesserae". (Don't you just love that word? It sounds so...well, artistic.) You've seen my outdoor mosaics and my "work station" on the patio. I can pretty much stay out here for hours …

Exodus 20:17 But what if they're having a yard sale?I think I've mentioned (more than) a few times that I have gotten some really good deals from my two neighbors' yard sales.

Just Add Water

On July 10, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

What could be more fun than playing with cement? Well, we could probably think of a few things, but this definitely has to rank high on the list. Maybe it dates back to when, as kids, we used to play in the mud, making mud pies, or just a big mess. Maybe it's because it's …

Stepping Stones Part 2

On May 22, 2017May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

You might remember that in October I did a post about my brand new "Talavera" stepping stones. Well, I sprayed them with a clear acrylic coating and put them out in the yard... ...where they promptly faded! (Note: Remember, this is California at the end of a five year drought. So the grass actually looks pretty …

Talavera Kitchen, Part 1

On December 31, 2016May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard

A couple of months ago, in keeping with my quest to make my home unique and whimsical, I got the idea to have a Talavera theme in my kitchen. It's far from finished, but I do have some pictures of its progress to show you. First there were the paint chips. I kept them around for …
