Planting season is upon us, so let me tell you a little story of how this garden came to be. When we bought a house last year, I failed to inquire about the summer weather, thinking it would be just as warm and clear as it was on our open house day. NOPE. Instead, I encountered summers full of chilly fog and harsh winds, much to the dismay of my aspiring green thumb.

After our backyard shed makeover was complete, I needed to cover up this unsightly rats nest of wires and cables, the cable box, the water faucet and garden hose (what a mess!). We found an armoire at a yard sale for $20. I immediately knew that with a bit of modification, it could be the solution to cover my unsightly wires. Hubby helped me cut the armoire in half lengthwise to make the cabinet more narrow, then we mounted it onto the outside wall to cover the wires. Because the cabinet was not quite tall enough to cover the top of the equipment, we raised the foundation under the cabinet with garden stepping stones. This will also help keep the bottom of the cabinet dry when it rains. It now is a charming addition to our backyard, and we no longer have to look at those ugly wires! Of course...we couldn't let the back of the cabinet go to waste, so we made a Raised Garden Bed with the recycled cabinet back. Stay tuned for the next posting of the raised garden bed!

When decorating, always keep in mind that no-one's going to see the bottom/back/inside. This is only one small step up from wrapping a loose piece of cloth over a cushion, but it does keep the cover tidy and in place. So: lay that piece of grey denim you're never going to make a skirt from, face up on the floor. Put the cushion more or less in the middle. (Please excuse the blurry photos, but it was the middle of the night.) Oh yes - zig-zag around all raw edges first. Fold the corners up more or less like this. Pin them. Turn the cushion over to check that everything's neat. Whip the 'cover' off. Draw a straight line from the pinned corners to the edge. (And then it was morning, and the light changed completely!) Sew along the line, and cut off what you won't need. Probably a good idea to check that your seam's in the right place before cutting, though. Put the cover back on the cushion. Fold the corners, then fold the sides up. Adjust the folds so that the edges don't quite meet. Mark button positions with pins... ... and sew buttons on. Cut 4 lengths of thickish thread, about 20 - 30 cm long, double each piece up and knot the ends together. Put the loop around a button. Wind the other end round and round both buttons, pulling them closer together. All done. Voila! Hey presto! Siedaar! etc. A zipless cover you can take off to wash, but don't have to tidy every morning.
