Grab a summer ball and some faux flowers for this beautiful project perfect for your summer garden.
To start this project you will need a kid’s summer ball. In years prior I used a much smaller ball but today I found one of these larger ones for $2.50. These last a pretty long time so will work well.
I also picked up a beautiful vinyl tablecloth from Walmart. The reason for the vinyl is that the typical fabric is not going to cover it in one quick pass. It's about 6ft across and by being vinyl or plastic material will hold up to the UV rays and the inclement weather outside really nicely.
Open up the tablecloth and lay it out. Whatever you don’t use, you can always save for other craft projects.
Once your tablecloth is opened, you want to gather up our fabric around the ball, keeping it in the middle. Make sure to keep the hole in the ball near the top in case you ever need to fill it.
With the ball covered, leave a little bit of excess because the top portion is where we're going to secure our blooms. You want to make sure that you have enough fabric to be able to create a knot up top and secure the hanger. Cut off any excess.
Now you can take some ribbon and cut a length of it. This is going to be your means of securing it to a tree, a lamppost, or to an arbor.
To secure the ball when you are done, take the ribbon and create a knot on the surface, and then tie it to whatever you want. Then, when you go to take it down you can just snip off the knot.
Next, you want to secure the tablecloth around the ball with zip ties. I zipped two together to make sure it was long enough.
Make sure to gather all of the ends at the top of the ball before tightening the tie.
Once the fabric is secured, you snip off the excess.

Inspired by trendy furniture store, i came up with this hunting lantern for 2 dollars. I shopped supplies from Dollar Tree store and used a cheese ball jar from Costco that we enjoyed my kids and me. I love cheese ball and ended to have lots and lots of jars at home. The whole sale ones are super big compared to the grocery store. Anyway, ones I had everything in between my hands I started imagining how my lanterns gonna look like and how I will hang them. I got a black synthetic rope from dollar tree store that I lined all over the jar horizontally and vertically using a hot glue. For the handles I used an old rattan woven basket that i dismantled and covered with the black rope to solidify the handles. Finally, I drilled the bottom of the jar and insert the solar light for a convenient lighting.
A simple single colour Petunia gives a good effect.

Instead of flowers and ferns, you can start growing fruits in hanging baskets. It is possible, and there is not just one or two but 6 great-tasting fruit plants perfect for your porch, patio, balcony, or rooftop.
Hanging baskets bring gardens up to eye level, making a garden feel fuller and more complete. On the porch they create an immediate sense of welcome, while plants hanging outside windows create a connection between the indoor and outdoor worlds. Use them to dress up walls or decorate tree branches. The best plants for hanging baskets take advantage of their heightened locations, with trailing stems that cascade over a container’s edges. They also stand up to the challenging conditions of container life. Container plants need consistent moisture. Locate hanging baskets close to a water source and consider attaching a watering wand to the hose to extend your reach. Drip irrigation also works well for containers. Hanging baskets will likely need watering every day in the heat of summer. Try combining several varieties with similar needs, and experiment to find the best mix for your porch or patio.

Looking for a new recipe to help use up your leftover Easter ham? Move over egg salad sandwiches and ham casseroles, and let me introduce you to ham balls! If you have never heard of ham balls you are in for a treat! Ham balls are a Pennsylvania Dutch delicacy. As a native Pennsylvanian, I grew up eating these ham/pork based “meatballs” and remember requesting them (along with scalloped potatoes and baked pineapple) for many birthday dinners. They are easy to make, a great way to use leftover ham, and they freeze well (before or after baking) for a quick-to-serve meal.
Did you know that the tradition of making and hanging a kissing ball dates back to the early Middle Ages? During that time, people used apples or potatoes as a base to create a ball-shaped decoration we now know as kissing balls. The decorations were hung in doorways to bestow goodwill and blessings to all who visited the home. During the 17th through the early 19th centuries, Puritans and other religious groups frowned upon the use of any holiday decoration. Fortunately, Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria of England, revived the tradition of decorating with live greenery and Christmas trees for the holidays in 1840. Kissing balls were hung from doorways and ceilings to encourage romance, and many young women would stand underneath them and hope for a kiss.
