T2T January project challenge :) Bistro patio table

Nashville, TN(Zone 6b)

One of my new years resolutions is to start turning some of this stuff I have collected into the actual items many were collected for! In other words to finish some projects!

Since I am inspired by you all here (have been lurking for quite some time) I figured I would stay inspired by making it a challenge type situation! Not a challenge between projects mind you, just a challenge to see if I can do one (at least) a month instead of getting tied up in life and and sometimes not doing anything for months at a time. I have to start finishing some... I see so many more here that I want to do!

I am hoping others want to play along to keep me motivated :)

Here is one I started today!

The table was given to me several years back to serve as a functional piece on my then tiny apartment balcony. It gets lost on my deck and has been replaced by a somewhat larger piece. I wanted to redo it to make it nice and use it on the smaller deck by the pool. I have ad the marbles for sometime. I am not sure where they all came from but I believe they multiply when you aren't looking! I know I have NEVER purchased any but they always seemed to nice to throw away. I had the glue on hand. (regular old generic white glue.)

I started by finding the center of the table using this method: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-find-the-center-of-a-circle/ I used a watercolor marker to draw my lines. I pasted the center gem and a simple design around it and then marked the table into quater sections.
