Raindrops on Roses

Hello, Hello

 

Hope everyone has been having a lovely weekend? Sunday already, the week has just flown by.

It's been quite busy here with one thing and another, have had some crafty time too though.

Let me introduce you to Foxy Loxy...

New member of the magnet gang.

My wool order arrived on Wednesday so I've picked up where I left off with my hexagon blanket.

It's coming on well and feels super soft.

 

I've been sewing peg bags for the craft sale, I used some vintage fabric on this one.

The weather's been a bit changeable here this week, but between showers I've managed to get some garden time...

My first crop, it feels so good to have grown something yourself.

Plenty more where that came from!

Here are some flowers that have gone pop this week. Flag Iris.

Pretty pink aquilegia found amongst the ferns.  

Not quite popped yet but on its way, Allium.

Finally, raindrops on roses...

 

I cant get enough of these roses, not only are they beautiful but the smell is divine.

Thank you for visiting me.

Hexagons and Vintage Shopping

Hello to you...

My gosh I was over-whelmed by the lovely comments I had on the last post! Thank you so much lovelies.

It's been a lovely week here in Wales, full of sunshine and good times.

I've recently started crocheting hexagons.

I'm hoping to make a small throw for my sitting room.

Here they are.

Beginning to take shape.

I've been a bit naughty recently, starting projects and not finishing them. My excuse with the cushions is that I'm waiting for new yarn to arrive.

 

Today has been lovely. My partner usually works on the weekend so it was a lovely treat to spend a Saturday together. We decided to go to a local vintage and antiques show.

It was a lot bigger than I expected, and better, with some real bargains and a huge variety.

We had ice cream too!

So, do you want to know what I came home with?

What's in here?

 Ta Da! I've been after one for agggeeeessss!

My lovely partner bought me this ring - the first ring he's bought me... note its on the right hand!

1960s tiger eye silver ring, so pleased.

I'm a very lucky girl.

 

We popped in to see my parents on the way home and I took a few sunny photos in their beautiful garden.

Hello froggy

Pond dipping.

Daisy.

The Rosa rugosa is very popular with the bees and smells divine.

 

I hope everyone is having a lovely sunny weekend.
