I have really enjoyed this series, YDD. There are a few ideas among them that I will most definitely use or adapt. So, thanks again.

I agree some of the ideas are really good, I have a pallett here that I`ve been trying to prise apart for months, if I ever succeed I now have lots of things to try so it might yet get a new lease of life, thanks Ydd I too found the blogs very interesting...

Just fantastic ideas Daisy,,thanks for sharing them with us :)))))))))))))

Im a big fan of Martha Stewart but Ive not seen anything of hers to do with woodcraft. Thanks Ydd Im off to have a look.

Thats brilliant Ydd, some great ideas ,always wonder what to do with all those wine corks :-))
I'm off to look at your link now

Enough already: I just havnt got the room for all these great ideas!

Agree with everyone, have enjoyed seeing your recent blogs and some really great ideas!

birdcage lovely, enjoy seeing these wacky things Dee :o)))

That bug hotel made of pallets is absolutely brill! - It would be easy to do too. There are some pallets just down the road where I walk the dog. They may just be having a new home if I can get hold of the owner!!

Brilliant series of blogs, some really good and some really strange ideas in there. Addes to favourites for future reference :) Wont be surprised to see some similar ideas popping up in GoYers garders this year lol.

Such a cool blog, love it! into faves............ideas!!!

Actually some really cool idea there....

You've done so well finding all those ideas & then posting them on here for us all to see - perhaps imitate, too!

Thanks everyone, Balcony, I think a lot of the pallet ideas might be good to do on your allotment, pass them onto your fellow gardeners even :)))
poppylover i love the bug hotel, lots of ideas for natural gardens, allotments, gardening on a budget, formal etc..
i hope you all can use at least one idea in your gardens..

PS, I think the cork is the most amazing and simple idea ive seen :)

in answer to your questions at the beginning of your blog... yes yes and yes to all of them. i just love all this up-cycling and have loads of stuff just lying around waiting for inspiration.. its just finding the right idea. i did an arrangement of aeoniums in a drum last year...only one drum though..we will have plenty of corks after the wedding this summer and the spoon idea has got me thinking. its amazing the ideas you have found..thank you..:-)

What's the cork stuck onto, d'ya know?

I think those wooden scewers we use on the BBQs in summer lulu..really cheap to buy at wilkinsons..

aha! Thanks YD!

Love the dangling tulip spoons...going to look in my cutlery drawer.....really enjoyed these blogs too Ydd:-)
