How Does Your Garden Grow?

Hello to you...
How's your week been so far?
Good I hope?
It's been quite a quiet week here so far.
Over the last few evenings I've made some felt magnets for the craft sale.
I enjoyed doing some hand stitching for a change.
I enjoyed stitching up the kitsch deer, swallow and apple.
I think the apple has to be my favourite.
We've had some lovely warm weather over the past few days.
I've been out in garden a lot.
 
The poppies have gone pop!





Our other Poppy was interested in the contents of the watering can.

This is a plant my Mum gave me and neither of us can remember what its called any ideas?

Our beautiful roses are in bloom and smell wonderful.

Lovely full flower beds.
 
Hope the week's been passing by nicely.

Hooky Owl and Evening Garden

Hello to you...
How's your week been so far?
Tuesday is my volunteering day at my local charity shop, so I've been pretty busy today.
But still found time to hook up this little cutie.

 I do love owls of all kinds so making this one was a real joy and quick too!
I got the pattern from the "Craft Seller" magazine.
 
I'd not bought this magazine before - at £4.99 its a bit more than I usually pay for a magazine.
I've not regretted it though, I'm really enjoying leafing through it.
I think I will ask for a subscription for my birthday or Christmas.
 
While out in the garden this evening I took the liberty of making the most of the lovely evening light. Indulge me a minute please...

Is everyone else enjoying the lighter evenings? I know I am.
Meet Poppy, sleeping in the evening sunshine.
 
Hope you're all having a lovely week so far?
Thank you for your lovely comments on the last post, they really made me smile.
