Time has been rather precarious to me. And by the Grace of God, I am standing here today still full of life, joy and thanksgiving.
I have 2 beautiful grown daughters, 2 gorgeous little grand daughters, a charming smart little 1.5 yr old grandson and another on the way.
I am 48 years on this planet now. I have a most kind and God fearing boyfriend. I love the church I go to and The God that watches over me. Delight yourself in The Lord and He will surely give you the treasures of your heart. Psalm 37:4 Though we all walk through the valley, I have always made it to the top of the mountain and was able to see clearing. And I have been so blessed with a talent in which is not work for me at all. It truly is the treasure of my heart.

Re: Window Garden

I don't know about the make it pink part. Maybe I posted in the wrong section? Please help me correct this if you can!
This was not hard to make, just a little akward being a woman with only 2 arms and it was a little challenging. But with determination I managed to get it.
I used "L" brackets, predrilled lots of holes, and my best friend the nail gun. Without my nail gun I wouldn't have been able to hold things in place until I screwed it all together.
What I did first was stand 3 windows up to make a "U" shape. I used my nail gun and 2" nails and quickly nailed it together. Then I predrilled holes and screwed it together. Then I set it up on the end table and used the "L" brackets and secured it to the end table. Then I put the "door" on with hinges.
The roof I secured together alone using a 1" x 1" the length of the windows for the roof and put it on an edge of the window with long screws, then secured the other roof window to that same 1" x 1" on the other side making a 45 degree angle "the roof".
I sat the roof ontop of the conservatory and then used my drill bits and predrilled holes again at an angle to go down through the top of the roof into the sides of the conservatory.
I used some other boards for the front of the edge of the roof and thus created an extra place for security to hold the roof on.
Believe me, this thing is so sturdy, we actually carried it by holding it by the roof!!!!
Like I said, it was fairly simple, just a little akward and challenging. Good luck!!!
