The weather has been just blummin gorgeous over the past few days hasn't it? Let's just hope that it's a sign of things to come all summer long! I love the sunshine. I think I'm designed to live in a much hotter climate than dear ole Blighty!!!! To feel the sun on my face is a sheer joy!
Right it's been a good few days since my last post. Work has been utterly manic and then there was DT layouts to finish and gardens to tidy. But it's all good :-)
Tomorrow sees the Bellaboo June kit go on sale and I've been carving up the kit to make layouts and the starts of some cards. Here's a few lil peeks of the layouts.....
Lots of stitching on these layouts which I love!!! You can check what the kit looks like here!
I've made a start on tidying the garden this weekend. The front garden was in a dreadful state with weeds galore... including thistles... OUCH!!!! Its now a weed free and tidy space. My front garden is teeny weeny and as its north facing i struggle to find plants that will survive in the shady clay soil. So I've decided to put down some membrane and cover with cobbles. A few pots and maybes a nice little sculpture should work well out there :-)
The back garden however is a complete suntrap! It was landscaped over 2 years ago and is really flourishing. It's a small courtyard garden with beautiful limestone (cost a bomb!!) paving and higgledy piggedly borders crammed with all manner of plants... and weeds!!! I made a start and managed to tidy almost one border this weekend. Given that I also blitzed the front garden and had a crop yesterday this is good going!!!! Am hoping to get it finished over the next week inbetween work so I know what spaces need to be filled with annuals. Its getting there!
Yesterday was our monthly crop day. I LOVE our crop! Hazel was a complete star and organised a raffle and bingo. We loved it!!! I even manged to keep up with the bingo! am not the best and 2 cards is usually my limit never mind 5! I even managed a layout too. Have lots of stuff in progress on the scrapping front. There are never enough hours in the day....
