Saturday Sharing from the She-shed
Welcome to Saturday’s sharing from the She Shed. My goal is always to provide inspiration, creativity, and new ideas for your home and garden. In this weekly post, I share all the happenings at WM Design House and a bit of behind-the-scenes.
What is Happening at WM Design House
It was another busy week. I guess they all are! I was busy wrapping up a few projects and planning out my new content, and now we are on a plane and headed to Florida to meet our new grandson Callum( can you believe all that hair?). It was such a pretty day as we took off. The sun was shining so brightly on the ocean.
We celebrated our daughter’s and grandaughters’ birthdays. They happen to fall on the same day. We even had a sleepover with the three little ones. I can honestly say there is never a dull moment in this household. We ate popcorn, played games, and went for a bike ride.
What’s Coming Soon
We have decided to remove some grass in the front yard and add a cut flower garden. This area will be approx. 42′ x 22″ will be fenced with a white picket fence.
We will start the removal of the grass and moving sprinklers this week.
We will be putting a gravel base and adding nine raised flower beds. I am so excited to get my hands in the dirt again.
In addition, I have ordered all of my dahlia tubers and seeds, and I am ready to start sowing my seeds soon. Don’t forget. You can still order your tubers from sscflowerfarm.com.
Let me introduce the Homecrafted Society

A few of my favorite things
As I prepare to get the garden ready, here are a few of the items I found this week.
These are the bins I will be using in my new garden. I will be adding some metal conduit on the exterior for extra support.
I will buy some obliques to support my sweet peas and other plants.
And I absolutely cannot live without this tub in the garden. It is my go-to for gardening. It is lightweight, flexible, and just the right size.
My Favorite Blog Posts from The Web
On that happy note, let me share some of my favorite posts on the web this week. I am always so amazed at the talent out there. So, please sit back and take it all in.

Michelle @thistlekeylane is back with another fun DIY. I love the natural look of this sweet heart.
My friend Tammy @whitelilacfarmhouse Shows us how to create a lovely faux orchid arrangement to brighten up a corner in our bathroom. I love how fresh and clean this looks.

I can’t wait to see your new garden beds. It reminds me very much of the garden area I had that was inside a white picket fence, at my former house.
I really miss having the space to have that at my current home.
Thank you, Michele. We just left Florida after visiting with the new baby. He was so sweet and fun to cuddle with.
I am looking forward to getting the garden started tomorrow. I am just a bit worried about caring for it. Hopefully there are enough hours in the day.
