        It'll be interesting to see what you make of that Snorky. You've certainly got some diverse projects on the go at the moment. :)

          Very unique ... I can picture a climber over it, little shrubs to the sides and a wicker bench inside. How did you transport it?

            We hired a van for the day, dismantled it and brought it home. I've got to grind the rust off, treat it with red oxide or kurust and its going to be painted matt black or similar. Wooden front door to be made and it will exclusively be for my garden tools :)

            i do love the idea of an arch with a bench though...uh oh...feel like youve given me another idea now lol

              Hmmm.... so, you need to block off both ends....
              Wooden door at one end, bench and planters at the other? :heehee:

                The back end does have a metal panel but will need a front door. Also the back end will be against a wall. However-i think a bench running along the side of it would be a fantastic idea! :ideaIPB:

                  Mum and I have had a get together today for a crafting day. Said we'd do it once a month.

                  I had a go at a storage bag and my mum made a tunic dress!

                  the storage bag is for all my sheets of materials etc for sewing. It was a bit of a pig following a pattern. In the end I made it my own way. Some of the instructions confused my mum and I. However, Im happy with the result!

                      Thank you. :) They were my grandma's curtains that she was getting rid of.

                        Grandmother's curtains would suit this type of screen. Really simple to do.

                            Well it's almost finished...just needs a bit of a gloss sealant I think. But this was the best I could do.
