:: Outdoorsy ::

There always come a time in the new year when I remember I have a garden.  I am not a very faithful gardener, I spend a lot of time in the garden and enjoying it in the summer but as winter descends, other than feeding the birds it does get a bit neglected. At this time of year the snowdrops are already out, the daffodils are about to bloom and the crocuses are here already.  Finally seeing some colour in the garden even just a little is a very welcome sight.

My current project to put some more colour into the garden is to make some outdoor bunting!  I will give more details when I have more to show, but here are some photos of the triangles that I cut out this afternoon.

Flower Garland

Thought I would share a wee flower garland that I crocheted for my hall.

Our hall is a rather boring apricot colour, apart from laying laminate flooring we haven't touched the hall since moving in seven years ago. I really want to do something with it just not sure what.

We added a huge mirror a couple of years ago to enlarge the space and I though a crocheted garland would be just the thing to give it a lift. I was able to use some vintage buttons that my mum had given to me a long time ago.

Oh and please excuse the blank canvases on the walls. hubby hung them there a while ago as a minimilist joke and we have never got round to taking them down! I sometimes think people that come to the door must think we are mad (they would be right, of course ;) )

I am quite pleased how it turned out.

Hope you like it :) x

Bunting!!

When I photographed the crayon wallet yesterday I realised I had never photographed my bunting. I spoke about it before but failed to report that I actually finished it, I know! FINISHED it took me by surprise as well!! So here are a couple of photos, it is a bit sad though because I had ironed it and made it nice but I have no use for it :-( so it has sat in a heap and got all crinkled *sigh* but here it is anyway
