Repurpose a Boot

 

On April 4th it was a year since I broke my ankle and this silly boot I had to wear for six weeks has been hanging around - I just couldn't throw it away.  Today was the day to do something with it.  I added potting soil and planted some succulents and other plants to make a conversation piece out on my deck.

I used some hook and loop tape from the boot to close up the toe end so it would hold a plant.

The boot before...

As I was planting this I had to open up the hook and loop 'tape' several times to tighten it up and oh did that bring back memories of trying to make this boot comfortable!!!  I even slept in it!

 Now, what to do with the crutches????  Let me know if you have ideas.

Make Healthy Fun! Workshop

 

What an awesome workshop at the Morro Bay Library!  I was under-the-weather so I recruited some helpers I knew would do a great job and I hear they did!!!  Thanks to my sister-in-law, Nicki, my bro, David and 9-year-old nephew, Brandon who made a fun morning for kids and adult alike making marbles (all you need is some cornstarch or white bread, glue and paint) and creating a container garden complete with beans seeds to get the kids going on growing their very own garden.  Check out workshops and other ideas to get the entire family to unplug, exercise and eat healthy at www.MakeHealthyFun.blogspot.com and www.MakeHealthyFun.com
