Sat Nite Special link party 117 - your fav 2011 outdoor project


Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #117, the multi themed link party! 

* Home Decor
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.

I really love decorating the yard and view it much like the indoors, just, it's outside.  Junk looks good anywhere after all. :)

So let's dream just a little and gather up some of your fav 2011 outdoor ideas! Here's a few of mine.

Couldn't have been simpler to create and maintain!


Beethoven's 'forever blooming sunshine' garden

This little garden was planted in honour of Beethoven, my cat that passed on. It did sooo well in it's first year!


and last but not least, my beloved pallet sofa which I miss soooo very much. Come on sunshine! :)

    We've had an amazingly dry winter, so I've actually spent a great deal of time outdoors. This is our first rain since December 15 and thank goodness some snow in the Sierra Nevadas! Oh, but I do love the spring.

    Thanks for hosting, as always! Have a great weekend!

    It has been WAY too long since I have commented, Donna! Still faithfully reading - just been swamped ever since our move in July. I'm slowing getting my groove back though. Can't wait to see your son's room when it is finished. Love all your outdoor stuff. We have had a really warm winter here in NC - no snow and mild temps. Your snow pics are so pretty - it makes me slightly envious. Dogs always look so regal in the snow. Oh, and thanks for the link-up. I haven't joined in forever! :)

    GAH! DONNA! You are a GENIUS when it comes to pallets, wood, lumber.... Remember when I told you we discovered ALL the fencing knocked down by Hurricane Ike in my mom's backyard? I still haven't touched it. I think I'm waiting to win the lottery so that I can fly you out and hire you for a week! lol Thanks for hosting! :)

    This is my first time linking up, and I accidentally posted in the wrong category. I did gardening vs. home decor, so now they are in both categories. So sorry about that. I meant to only have it on home decor! :) Anyway, thank you kindly for hosting. I've been a follower of your blog since I started this blog to document our fixer upper progress. Would love and of course welcome a visit from you to my blog, anytime! :) Cheers & have a wonderful weekend!


    XO's,

    I just want to go find some old pallets now. I could curl up on that bench for hours with a good book and never move. I linked up my Hobo Bag Tutorial. Put it in Home Decor before I realized there was a category for sewing. Thanks for hosting. So many wonderful ideas here!

    Hello there and good morning to you! I made a DIY Children's Book w/ Audio for my family over Xmas and thought it'd be fun to show how I did it-so your readers can too! I also linked up my DIY Spinning Composter-which is a much quicker way to compost than a traditional pile method.
    Thanks for hosting the party once again. Have a great day!

    OH! That pallet walkway is wonderful! That is an excellent idea! {I'm already thinking where I can imitate you on this in my own garden!} :) Thank you so very much for hosting this party each week, and I hope you are having a fun weekend so far! :)

    Blessings,
