Blue Bird and Weekend Wanderings

 

Hello to you...

Well, it's been a busy weekend...

Had a lovely Fathers Day, today making my Daddy lunch and having a good laugh.

I hope you'll enjoy some photos from this weekend.

The crochet owl now has a friend, blue bird.

Chives in full bloom.

Pretty pink Peony.

Alliums (again)

 

Cheeky snail.

Dusty sunning himself.

Bees.

The Ceanothus is in full blue bloom. 

The bees love it.

It was literally buzzing while photographing it. 

My best friend and I took a trip to Leeds.

I was so pleased to pick up a Cath Kidston teapot in the sale.

I think it might need a tea cosy...I must get myself over to ladybirddiaries to use her fab tutorial.

Hope that everyone has a lovely week, whatever you're doing.

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.

a few creations

Here are a few of my handmades from
last month.
I couldn't help being inspired by the vintage pin cushion picture I found in a magazine and had to have a go making one myself with fabric salvaged from a 1970s pillow case.
