They're up for another coat of urethane sealer inside and outside before I can use them though.

Thank you ladybird, here's a site I bookmarked and did some reading up on when I got an idea to paint my clay pots

www.the-artistic-garden.com/decorative-paint-techniques.html

Be warned though that reading the stuff in there would encourage the start of way too many gardening related hobbies ;D

I must tell you that Ladybird is gifted when it comes to crafts. She put up her greenhouse herself, among other projects.

Love the pots jrae, that's a really good idea!

The spice rack is great Ladybird, another of your hobbies must be cooking with herbs & spices from that collection!

I don't really have hobbies which I do all the time except perhaps photography but I do go through spells of drawing & painting, reading, D.I.Y, decorating, visiting art galleries/museums/gardens/vintage clothes sales/antique sales/walking/shopping (well I count it as a hobby ;D), embroidery, sewing & have a half-knitted snood/scarf in the wardrobe which I started last winter! ;D

I use the herbs mostly Sue, hubby the spice person . you have a lot of hobbies , I`d love to be able to draw and paint . I don`t do my hobbies all the time either ,it`s a long time since I did any embroidery.
For anyone interested in embroidery here is a link to Mary Corbets site , full of free designs and tutorials, she is fantastic.

Your spice rack is pretty neat too . Me, I'm kind of scared of trying DIY carpentry as I had a nasty accident with a gun tacker when I was younger.

Thanks for the link Ladybird, I've saved the site to give me some inspiration if I suddenly get the urge to embroider! The picture of the sampler made me get this out, it's the sewing case I made when I was 11 in the first year sewing class at school, I still use it today over 40 years later, it's got a pocket in it & layers of material which you put pins in, I think I've had the pins as long too! ;D
