Crochet Granny Square Arm Caps and Summer Garden Lovin

Hello to you.

Well I'm back again.

It's very exciting having a new toy to type on.

I've been busy sewing up simple bunting (will show another time) for the wedding and organising my collection of vintage table cloths and mats ready for decorating the marquee. The wedding is getting scarily close now, I think we have about a month to go.

I have my crochet arm caps to show you...

I wanted something to protect the sofa from scratching kitties and my daughters habit of getting chocolate everywhere.

I was really pleased how they stood out on the red sofa.

 



 

I have also had a little trial run of making up garden flower arrangements in recycled jars, this is what I'd like at our wedding. I was pleased with the out come. Keeping my fingers crossed that the flowers will stay out for me!

 

Below a quick peep at what's about in my garden this week...

1, Pink rose (not sure of name)

2, Verbena

3, White old rose

4, Hydrangea

5, Nasturtiums

6, That pink rose again!

7, Magenta  Lychnis coronaria

8, Feverfew

9, Hydrangea Annabelle

 We've had a little bit of rain this week not too much, just enough to get the garden flourishing.

 

In my kitchen table tea cup this week I have...

 

 

It was supposed to be just the hydrangea but I broke a lily head off my bunch while trying to get it out of the packaging so it's found a home there too.

 

Just a quick thank you to my new followers lovely to have you here with me.

A massive thank you too to the lovely bloggy ladies who went over to visit my lovely friend and neighbour at her crochet cottage

Off to get the school uniform ready, have a lovely week.
