The item that has the flowers in, I bought from a florist in town for a bargain £8. But, I couldn't decide if it was a planter or a dolls bed/cot.
Anyway, it is now a planter outside the kids playhouse. I think it looks sweet under the window. Neither of my two really play with dolls, so I thought I would be put to better use in the garden! Xxx
Don't you ever find you make a 'to do list', but then each item on that list has a list to itself.
So I set to tackle 'the list', which I had put off all week.
I started with the one that I hate doing . . . The garden, specifically the over grown area that is under the apple tree and raspberry plants - where the fairies live!
I start by strimming the metre high weeds, which created another job (going to the tip).
Mmmmm, by then I'm sweating buckets. I hate gardening, I just don't have the inspiration, give me a sewing machine any day.
I couldn't face digging the soil over, maybe at the weekend!!
I also sorted the recycling tubs out (another job, that wasn't on my list!!) and took all that to the tip too. This is usually the mans job, but if he can do it, I can!!
Its not that best looking area of garden, but you didn't see it before!!!!
After all that, I sat down with a cuppa and treated myself to a spot of crocheting :-) xxx
Not quite sure why I've made a crocheted neck warmer in the middle of summer. Maybe I'm not too optimistic for the weather!!! Its lovely & snuggly anyway :-) I used a tutorial from the fab blog of Attic 24 Xxx
Mmmm nothing like fresh coffee first thing in the morning. I need a gallon with my two kids in the morning!!!! Xxx
So I don't get bored, I usually have two projects on the go. At the moment I have the granny stripe blanket and this neck warmer. Both patterns are from the brilliant Lucy at Attic 24. Take a look if you love crochet, loads of inspiration and addictive!!!! Xxx
I usually make cakes and they are flat, so I doubled my mixture and added a touch of baking powder. Wow o wow. Best Victoria sponge I ever have and Will make!!!
I found this little poster in town yesterday. It looks like our little 1980's caravan. I loooove it.
I'm just hoping our little van can be repaired so we can go off in it ;-/ Xxx
