Growing treasures in my garden!



Beautiful Coneflowers!



My garden never ceases to amaze me. A bit of rain and now sunshine and it is bursting!  And it looks like a country garden in the making and this pleases me!

I love flowers, and love my vegetables and fruit growing so it is such a pleasure to see my garden this morning.

And three white butterflies flit from plant to plant too, which cements my grin!



Enjoy!

My cucumber plants finally climbing up the teepee and strawberries too!

New Year Wreath

Just looking for inspiration and found this lovely wreath on http://ivyandpiper.blogspot.com/.

 It is so colourful and beautiful.

Will remember this for next years' decorations!

For Grace...singlets and a dress!

I decided to embellish some basic singlets I bought with some little treasures I have in my sewing room.  And, I have to say, the result is stunning! A vintage doily, belonging to either my mum or my nanny (not sure which now as all mixed in together), and some fabric remnants. Thanks to Steam-a Seam, the job was so easy!

For Grace, one lucky little girl!



New Year 2011

Happy New Year! We celebrated at Clarke's Pt, Woolwich last night and what a great night! We caught the bus and decided to sit where we got off and it was the best decision! Great views and we were all so happy, particularly when it was time to get back on the bus..we were right there! The fireworks were simply amazing and the company as well.
