Welly Tree

What do you do on a wet day but play in the shed? Haven't got a before photo as I used bits and pieces left over from other jobs, a newel post from a stairs that was removed, some wooden dowels, an old wooden curtain pole, and off cuts of wood for the base. Drilled holes at 45 degree angle(sort of) slapped in some glue and stuck in the dowels. A coat of varnish and ready to go. The great thing about this is you can keep all the wellies outside and it doesn't matter if it rains as it just cleans the boots. Also you can see the sizes as it is written on the sole and your wellies don't get full of water.:D

I love the idea of the welly tree but my dog would think I'd made a new toy for her!!! I can't even hang out clothes at the moment because she's started robbing them again (she'd stopped that months ago), I'll need Jumbletown just to replace all the things she destroyed!!!!!

Eibhlin that is absolutely fantastic. What a brilliant idea. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing. Regards.

Hi SLCB, a friend of mine had the same problem with her dog so she got a couple of old towels, coated the bottom few inches with hot chilli sauce and put them on the line. Poor doggy got a hot fright and hasn't touched the clothes line since!!

Eibhlin you never seem to run out of brilliant ideas! Fair dues to you! And a great motto in the background - very stylishly written too!
Thanks!

LOL! I love it, what an innovative idea!!

I like the little Rabbit pot holders in the background too, they are very cool.

Hi Gormal, I got the rabbits in TKMax a couple of years ago--€3 each and just sitting there--not easter or anything. Of course I had to bring them home as I have a quirky sense of fun in the garden. Oh I also got an outdoor metal clock that day, which wasn't working, but took a risk, put in new batteries, tightened the hands, and it's working ever since!! Can you pm me your address as I have a couple of belts that you enquired about and I know you will use them for some of your projects. Eibhlin.

Brilliant idea! Have already commissioned one for me own :o).

(PS - still have a lovely vintage piece of fabric I've been keeping for you. Will be in touch when I have more than 5 minutes to myself.)

Hi Julfren, I bought these little words in England recently (Dunelm Mill) as they were in a small box and didn't take up much room. I am delighted with how they look on the wall of the shed, a reminder to love, and laugh my way through life! Eibh.
