A Fire Pit in the Backyard

While it is mostly quilt making around here, there are other projects going on as well. I have wished for a fire pit for the longest time. This summer, my wish finally came true.

Guess what is under this awesome fire pit. It's an old trampoline. See those tiki torches. They are firmly mounted in the legs of the trampoline. Isn't that fantastic. We tried giving away the trampoline but never got any takers and it was a super eye sore in the back yard. This was the perfect solutions. There will be no fighting of weeds in the fire pit area. The trampoline serves as the perfect landscape fabric.

We tested it out for the first time last night. It is still a little too hot and buggy to spend much time out there now, but this fall will bring on some great fire pit adventures.
