I love your super-tall spindle birdhouses!! How tall are they? I can see a bunch of those in the back of the garden, all along my fence! What kind of glue did you use? Did you put some kind of spike on the bottom, so you could stick them in the ground? I just love them, and you did a great job!!

I love the purple and green one! I agree they would look awesome along a fence or interspersed throughout the garden to add some height. Very pretty composition and colors!

Those are so fun!! Love the colors. Good job!

Wow, what a motherlode....you did good!! Just love the look of those birdhouses and the candleholder. Is the candleholder gold colour just paint, or something more elaborate like gold-leaf? It looks so shiny and sumptuous.

Great projects!! Keep the pictures comming!1
I want to know about your yard poles!! Please do tell.

Thanks for the kind words. countrygrl, the poles are about 72" tall which is (3) table legs screwed/glued with Gorilla glue. I wasn't going to put them in the ground, I thought about attaching them to my privacy fence way up in the air. Justlinda, the gold on the candle holder is craft acrylic gold. I put about 3 coats on it. And bright 199 about the yard poles... I just bought the place and there were these ugly galvanized poles in the front that I couldn't remove because they blocked where my septic is so people won't drive up on it. Well I got tired of looking at those ugly poles, so I went and bought some 3" PVC and caps, cut them at 4', painted them and slipped them over the poles. They look much better now. Course my neighbors probably think that new ole lady who moved in there is a little strange. *grin* But I don't care. At least my yard is filling in a little more this year. It's a slow process. I'm gonna make some more neat stuff this weekend. Wish I didn't have to work and could just stay home and make things, course I couldn't pay the bills that way. Dern!

Love what you did with the spindles:) My favorite is the pink/aqua one!

Those are great! Love the bright colors. They will really stand out in the garden.

Ohhh, I like the super tall birdhouses. I think it would be neat to have several of them in one area and see what kind of birds you get nesting in them. Thanks for sharing this idea.

I love what you did with the spindles. I still have some sitting here that I need to do something with. That gives me a few more ideas! And you sure did hit the mother load! WOW!!! Great pics.....

Donna, your spindle projects turned out really cute. Love the colors you've used, those will look great in the garden.

Have one more idea here for you. I got my Painting magazine today and they had a regular flower pot up on spindles! I read to see how they were put together and of course it was a kit you could order, but they said to put one ring under the pot and one inside it and then screw them into the post. Can't see why a couple big washers wouldn't do the same thing.

Will look forward to seeing what else you create with your spindles.

Thanks Luvs, that IS a good idea. I will have to see what I can come up with. And I just happen to have some big washers already!

Hello - Just came across your web page - I need a gift for a birdhouse loving friend - can I purchase one of these? I love the purple one!! Thanks -

Pelican - sorry I didn't make these to sell, but thanks for the offer to buy. It would be impossible to ship them anyway cause they are 72" tall. The purple one is in my garden and the others are in my mom's and sister-in-laws. Thanks again though.
