A little Friday afternoon project

We NEED to reinvent or revamp a backyard project we did last year…

David came home from work this afternoon with this.

The PROJECT…IMG_7193

Reinvent the fire pit!

Who doesn’t enjoy sitting outside around a campfire in the summer? I love it! And last weekend on the long weekend I wanted to have a fire and David said we couldn’t because there was a ban on fires. We live in town and there are many restrictions so it makes the amount of time and opportunity to use our fire pit very limited. So…I did some research and convinced David to make an investment and revamp our fire pit.

It only came with a little lava rock, so off to Canadian Tire to get a couple more bags.IMG_7198 IMG_7200

This is the finished project

It’s not quite like a beautiful “real” wood burning camp fire,  BUT it will have to satisfy… I actually love it!IMG_7210

It even comes with a cover. IMG_7214

Not too bad for a Friday after work project 🙂 Have a good weekend!

I just couldn’t resist!!!

SPONTANEOUS!!!!!!

I really shouldn’t just wander around shops…I see things!

I had to pick up something yesterday at one store and decided to wander in another store. I hadn’t been there for awhile. Well, I was doing ok and ready to leave when I saw it!

coordinating fabric.

Ahhhhh…. I had an idea! A little mid week project for yesterday and today.

Across Canada Cities

A lap blanket/picnic table cloth/picnic blanket for our hikes. PERFECT for our 30th Anniversary Across Canada Trip!

It rolls up tiny for in our hiking bag and also folds nice to put in our guest room when not in use.

I even personalized it 😀David 3 Anna

Haha, lots of fun! David loves it, but of course, cautions my spontaneity!!

To the market for Cuba souvenirs

And of course I can’t forget the shopping. Yes, market shopping is the best!  There were 2 markets close by that we visited a couple of times.
