Finally some time for blogging! I
have been so busy in the garden (I think early spring is always a struggle to
keep up with rampant growth!) Although I
have managed to do a little crochet from time to time. I want to make cards using crochet motifs, so
have been trying out a few ideas. This
flower is I think quite successful. I
used no 10 cotton and a 1.5m hook. I
think any bigger than that will make the cards too chunky for posting as letter
post. I might try some using no 20
cotton and 1m hook, maybe a mini lacy doily to stick on the card?
I am very
pleased with this camellia I brought it last year and it displayed three
flowers this year but as you can see it is rather showy. Er lost the label and can’t remember the
name! But I love it and can’t wait till
it get bigger it is only 40cm at the moment.
Here is
evidence of my labours in the vegetable patch.
I decided to keep the two front beds for vegetables as they get more sunlight,
the ones behind will be the cottage flower beds. There are still leeks and fennel from my
winter garden which I hope to use up very shortly.
This year I
have decided to plant more soft fruit , especially blueberries. However yesterday I managed to get some pots
of raspberry canes from the car boot market.

always has to inspect any new item brought onto the property!
Today the
weather is damp and dismal, so no gardening, a chance to do some blog reading
catch up and do some crochet. Or maybe I
should chill out like my three furry friends!
Have a
happy day and see you soon.
The flower motif is very pretty Zana and will look lovely anywhere you decide to use it. That camellia is stunning what a beautiful flower, Spring is my favourite time of year it's lovely to see everything coming back into life. I hope your raspberry canes give you as many yummy raspberries as mine have done, I have had them for years and always get a good crop, I did have blueberries too but somehow the birds always got there before me and I got very little fruit. Have a lovely week. :)
ReplyDeleteThe flower motif is a delight, makes a beautiful card, such a good idea. Your garden is also looking good, funny that you are coming into spring, we are coming into Autumn, where you are just starting with growth, we are coming to an end.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a very busy time at your house right now! Love the flower motif for your cards. The garden will be beautiful and keep you well supplied by the sounds of it. xx
