Rock Garden Ideas

Have been looking around for new garden stones. Some of mine have chipped, broken and been ran over many times by the lawnmower. And over time, they all need replacing.
Usually August is a good time to buy these stones. Most stores have summer items on sale. I came across this cute idea in the photo.
Now if I only had the talent to make these, my garden would be all set. In the meantime I will keep looking for a good sale.

Are you crafty at making things around your home?

@crazyhorseladycx Rock painting is a good hobby that many people do. You could even see them.

The photos are really cute. I have never tried that kind of craft, but they would look great in the yard. I love crafts. I mostly draw and paint and make my own cards. I would like to make sculptures, but I haven't tried that yet.

I like to have an organized home. Right now though, my home is a wreck! When my house is all into place, nobody shows up. When my house is superb, never fails a person drops by. uuugh

@CarolDM We have 3 planters of succulents & a barrel of some kind of flowers. I am not blessed with a green thumb.

@Spontaneo Succulents are a good choice as all you have to do is water those.

They are cute! I'm not much of a decorator as it doesn't seem important to me.

Those rock garden ideas are fabulous but sadly I wouldn't be able to make them either. They certainly would bring some whimsy to a rock garden.

I used to do a lot of crafting and needlework. Now that my hands are arthritic, I gave all my craft stuff to Goodwill. Other than that, I'm not artistic or crafty. I like the cat on the top row.

@CarolDM I could never paint that cat. I have zero artistic skills; but it looks cute.

@LindaOHio They always make it seem so easy. Not for me.

Those are all very cute stones, they would look great in a garden! I saw your photo of the ones you found and I think they look nice.

I like the cat one myself.(of course) Also, spray painting some always looks kind of cool.

I am not very crafty. Thank goodness I have crafty friends that take care of me.
