Weekend Project: Stamped Garden Markers

This holiday weekend I picked up a few plants for our back porch. I didn’t want to leave the plastic garden markers in the pots because they are quite an eyesore. However, I wanted to be able to identify which plant was which for watering purposes. I decided to make hand stamped garden markers out of popsicle sticks and the stamp we used to make our business cards.

I’m quite pleased with the results.

Nautical Flags

With only a few days left until our cruise, I’m of course thinking about boats and all things nautical. Just under a year ago, I visited the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle and learned about the international maritime signal flags.

Ever since then, I’ve thought about using them in some sort of project, but still haven’t figured out quite how yet. Until then, here’s a few other neat nautical flag-inspired projects made by others.
