Reinforce an Old Patio Umbrella with a Fun Fabric Check out my other website at Sewing Renovation for instructions with pics on how I added this fun Zebra print material to one of my favorite patio umbrellas that needed some reinforcement.

Beautiful Blooming Fuchsias In the Garden Through Summer When my sister and I were little we loved to pop the flower before it had bloomed. We were just trying to help it along. Fuchsias

My Little Garden Tool box I just love my little garden tool box where I can keep a few tools for my balcony and display this cute little box. My Uncle Harry had this box in his garage and used it to store his shoe polish and polishing brushes and cloths. I love using and displaying things my family once used. Since it is older it has required a little fix up and reinforcement. I used it for a number of years outside and from time to time I needed to keep it from falling apart. Come and see what it looked like before I recently reinforced it with glue and the original nails it came with. Garden Tool Box a Little Worn Out As you can see my box has fallen apart. It can be put back together again; it doesn't look like it here but all the pieces are in pretty good shape. The box legs have grooves for the sides to be placed in and the bottom board of the box is held in place by the sides and secured with the original nails that I still have.
