Table Update

On June 14, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics13 Comments

We all know that grouting is the best part, right? I guess it is, if you're outside and you're not too stressed about getting the color wrong. The other day it was time to put the grout on the mosaic table. I was almost out of that color, but fortunately I had enough to finish …

Almost Done!

On May 11, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics14 Comments

Or, "It's All Over But the Grouting!" This is where we left off on March 29, in "The Table Mosaic". The view is from the back living room window, and I had just started to put the pieces around the little plate in the center. Gradually, the design grew. And as you can see, I …

The Table Mosaic

On March 29, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics12 Comments

You can only let a table sit there for so long without a mosaic, right? You may know by now that a flat, empty space anywhere is just a project waiting to happen at my house. This is not to say that much contemplation hasn't gone into (most of) my projects. But finally the idea …

Blog Material

On January 18, 2022January 22, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard10 Comments

One thing about it, there’s always blog material. Just like germs, (with thanks to the wisdom of a seventh grader from days gone by), there’s blog material everywhere. With that in mind, I went out in the back yard to check the plants. Since it had been raining the previous week, everything was nice and …

The Stakes Are High

On October 22, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Sewing and Crafts11 Comments

I'm sure you've seen these before. Known as plant stakes, fairy sticks, fairy wands, I knew I had to try making some as soon as I saw them. While I sincerely doubt there are any fairies in my garden, (or faeries, if you are keeping up with Chris Hall's latest story from Luna's Online), I …

How to Make Your Own Rocks

On September 2, 2021September 2, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard, Uncategorized10 Comments

"Just add water!" So, if you've read "Just Add Water" (part 1) you know that it's easy to make your own cement. It comes in very handy for making cement spheres, which can then be painted and used as yard art. (Actually you don't want to know the story behind this "easy DIY" Pinterest project.) …

A Look Out the Window

On February 6, 2021May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard15 Comments

"So, what's out there?" Panda's question put an end to my reverie. I had been so absorbed in looking at the back yard that I'd forgotten all about him. "Well," I responded. "It's looking pretty good out there. I think it might almost be spring." "Oh, does this mean the groundhog did or didn't see …

Whimsical Garden Update

On March 26, 2020May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard17 Comments

Since it was so pretty outside today... I decided to go walk around in my "whimsical" back yard. This time I thought it would be fun not only to share the garden's progress with you, but also to try and get photos from perspectives I may not have considered before.So I got some close-ups. You …

A Sticky Situation

On August 19, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn House and Yard9 Comments

Or maybe I mean "A Sticker-y Situation"... Because while cactus thorns can stick you I guess they aren't technically stick-y. But anyway. We can do an English lesson on that another day. Right now I'm just worried about whether to say "cactus" or "cacti" or even "cactuses" while writing this post.In "Here is Yard Art", …

It Was a Good Idea…

On July 22, 2019May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Mosaics15 Comments

...while it lasted! So I got this idea back in January.  I had seen pictures of tall mosaics that looked like a series of houses one on top of the other, and they looked really cool to me. Immediately I thought "I can do that!" And, since there were several long two-by-fours in my back …
