A beautiful weekend complete with pictures

The pups and I took advantage of the beautiful weather this past weekend and spent most of our time outside.  Friday evening there was a movie in the park at Evergreen Jr High behind my house.  They were playing some oldies music before starting the movie so the pups and I sat outside for a while.  It was a really nice evening and gave me a chance to really enjoy my backyard and play with the lovies.  I took some pictures of them, Sam was more cooperative.

 Bandit kept bringing me her slobbery toy, but she wouldn't let me take it to throw it for her.

 I had to get a picture of her cute dirty pig nose :)

 Sammy does this all the time!  It's so funny how he plays with his toy all by himself.  And he just looks goofy doing it.

 I tried to throw this stick off of my lawn and Sam took it and wouldn't let go, so he has it now.

Saturday my mom and I went in search of paint colors for my new chairs I put together.  I got some fun bright colors that I'm really excited about.  Hopefully I'll get those painted this weekend and I'll post pics then.  While at Home Depot getting paint I got some flowers to plant in some planters my grandma was giving me.  I'm not big on planting flowers, but I need something pretty in my back yard.  I found a lot of flowers that are really pretty and some that promise great blooms so we'll see what happens.  Here's the finished project:

The two big pots have one large plant in the middle and 4 smaller ones around it.  I forgot to get a picture of the last one, I need another pot and more soil so it's not planted yet.  I'm pretty proud of myself for these.  I'm hoping they'll all bloom soon :)

Feeling crafty!! Help?

It's been forever since I've blogged even though I keep taking pictures specifically to blog about!  Well, I'm going to try to change that.  Here goes!!

Last summer my mom bought me some wooden, un-assembled, Adirondack chairs.  Well I have just now gotten around to finally finishing them.  I did one about two weeks ago, but my screwdriver battery died and then I got busy.  I had a day off of work this week so I decided I'd do the second one.

Here they are:

Now I just have to decide if I should paint them some bright fun colors or if I should stain them.  I'm leaning  towards paint, but still not sure.  I'm open to suggestions :) 

So after all of that, I'm still feeling crafty and I want to attempt to make a table to go in the middle of the chairs, and some frames (those will come later)....here is where I encounter a problem.  I don't have all of the tools I need to do this nor do I have instructions.  I'm checking around online and other places.  I'm looking to do this cheap and small.  So friends, if you know how to do these things or somewhere I can get guidance, it would be greatly appreciated!
