Hi Crystal... welcome to gardenings mini world here... you'll have plenty of great ideas .. and some help if you need it ... and we're always looking to see and learn new projects and techniques ourselves..
from what I know of the others here...also mad crazy project folks... you'll have fun... and feel right at home... a mini fairy water garden sounds like quite an advanced project... difficulty index of 8.6... please show us the way...
I'm doing a spring make over of everything inside and out myself.. kind of a celebratory revamping... so I well understand having plenty to do... and I too.. am tired of the winter weather.. the first day of spring and I think I saw snow a 1/2 dozen times... maybe 60-80 flakes each time.. and spent it outside working in two gardens.. it was too cold to enjoy it too much...
I did see the strangest thing though.. in a neghboring garden to one I was in... there was a bunch of guys working laying pavers and in flower beds... but the strangest thing was they had already installed maybe maybe 100 ft of 8' tall fence..horozontal reverse board.. unusual and nice... and they had a guy sandind the new boards of the fence.. inside and out/ all day long... I couldn't imagine.. he was sanding all day yesterday also... but I thought someone was sanding their floors... and it never let up... but today I saw him
