...with a stick or two...

...a 'house' is built and it won't fall through!  Not even the 180 km wind that whipped through here last weekend  hurt this baby.

It was with some apprehension that I snuck out last sunday morning to inspect the damage to the 'boys' new construction, but to my great relief their efforts were built to last.  Only the wee bird house had blown down from the roof.
So this week we got to decorating it; a coat of white wash, some hanging bits and bobs, some plants and just to satisfy my yarn habit - some crochet bunting!


et voila!!!

I rescued this pretty shaped log from the wood pile and it now serves as an excellent afternoon tea table.


This project was meant to be a sun-shade but the boys have discovered  that it also works great as an umbrella and so insist on staying out playing even when its pouring down, and who am I to argue!!
