What a lot of work, but well worth the beautiful results! Thank you so much for the step-by-step. I was thinking of doing something similar for our yard but was hesitant.

I've been wanting to do this in my weed pile for years, and every year, I get older and weaker - Did you rent the (new) mixer? and what kind of concrete was that you used? Also, your mold is unique; I've only seen the smaller paver molds. If I can, I may start said project this fall in a corner, and work my way out next Spring!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490637817009608980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476624473421483512.post-87649490660117804432009-08-23T08:10:12.074-06:002009-08-23T08:10:12.074-06:00Good Morning Tootsie...

Ohhh...and I just love the look of these pretty little stones!!! This really is fabulous, my friend! Okay...Girl, I can't believe that you hand mixed all that concrete your self! I've done a little concrete work in my time...of course that was years and years ago...but sheeeshhh...that's no easy feat!!! I certainly admire your gumption...it sure paid off!!! I love the look of the grass growing between the stones...soooo beautiful!!! Of course, I had to click on your link to see how it looked all finished...love your pretty table and chairs! You really did create a fabulous garden room, my friend!!! <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this post with all of us today on Sunday Favorites!!!
