A Walk in the garden

I love the large perennial plants of this time of the year and am especially pleased with my poppies that I grew from seed last year.Hoping to get the garden planted out with summer bedding this weekend. Trouble is as we get older I'm sure the garden gets larger!

Just one more go

Have done my first samples for the online Embellisher course so feel ok to have another play with Dumpr - it really is fun, thank you Connie for finding this.

Just had to play!

I spied a new web site that Connie was using for her photographs so had a look and here's the result, my very first crazy patchwork egg.The site is http://www.dumpr.net/ - when I first looked for it I must have typed an extra e in and couldn't work out how a site for Dumper trucks could come up with fancy picture work - so sad!

Online Course

I have just downloaded the first lesson of the Embellisher course - looks really exciting so will read thro it and hopefully start something tomorrow, still a pile of holiday washing to do plus my mothers things as her washer gave up the ghost some time ago - "don't worry i'll do it" - says I!!, oh well it'll get done. I really should write out a 'to do list' as I keep remembering things I committed to before I went away and would feel awful if I forget something (if I suddenly remember that I forgot it that is!!!)

Lovely ATCs !

My other post yesterday was made up of these three great ATCs - 'Mucking Out ' from Angie really made me smile, the fused fabric one from Aileen is beautiful and finally from Liz for the UK Embellisher Group swap an atc made up of embellished fibres - what a treat in the post.

Back Home

Hello everyone, we're back from our lovely holiday with a serious case of post holiday blues, luckily the postie had left me some nice things to open, one lovely atc is pictured here from Susan Lenz of Cyber Fyber fame,must send mine off to her now. Will post my other goodies and a few holiday pics as soon as have done most of ' the return from holiday chores' - ugh!!
