Front Porch Finished!
A while back, I was planning on a Front Porch Make-over. Here is one of the "before" shots
I was thinking of white cushions that I spoke about here. Well, truth be told....the white did not work out for me. The first set of cushions I made were too small. Tip, outdoor foam does not react the same as pillow forms (I like to sew my pillows an inch smaller all the way around, so they have that "poooff"). When I went to buy more outdoor fabric, white was gone. So, here is the "after"
A "Happy Accident", they are turquoise.
I also told you about my outdoor rug I bought on-line. If you remember, it arrived like this. So, to get it to lay flat, I did this
put it on a hot driveway, and before long, it looked like this
nice and FLAT! Here are a few more pictures of my porch
and my window boxes
onto the next........

What to do this year? I love dark purple in a garden. I'm thinking about this combination
Or, should I keep it all white?

There are so many inspiring images on-line, this may take a while. Good thing, look what I found in my garden today
Can you see her? There is a glare from the window. I think she is sitting where the squash is going to go.
