Good Day Sunshine!




It was such a beautiful day today, I spent all day outside with the kids in our New Patch planting vegetables, dont know if any of them will ever grow as it proved a bit difficult trying to dig and watch the smaller two at the same time who were so excited and went off in a tangent planting their own things here there and everywhere! Oh well at least they enjoyed themselves! We planted potatoes, carrots,leeks, cabbage, lettuce, rhubarb, strawberries, tomatoes, onions and cauliflower. Sean came in in the evening about 5 pm and just lay down on the sitting room floor and was asleep within a couple of seconds totally wiped out!
Later this evening I finished off a baby cardigan in crochet, this is my first actual garment made in crochet so I am so pleased with myself that I managed to follow the pattern and hope that it is the right size but I think it is. My friend is due a baby in a couple of weeks and I am hoping that she will have a baby girl as I have a stash of pink baby things made for some reason! Hope you all had a lovely day wherever you were!

Bad weather & Vegetables!

One of my greatest pleasures at the moment is the fabulous smell of these scented summer stock

My Crochet Stack for Aoifes Blanket continues to grow


As Do the Marigolds on my Doorstep!



I'm Loving this blue enamel bucket which looks so much nicer in real life!




Even though we have not planted anything yet one of the most important things for Aoife was to put in this scarecrow ( a Halloween one! that was in my store!) to scare away the birds!





Mmmmmmmmmm!







Cant help thinking this is just a slight bit too big! Oh well we can but try!


O.K - The weather forecast was good, After weeks of pestering my husband to sort out some kind of a vegetable patch he finally did it for me yesterday I couldint wait to get up this morning I had great plans of planting out my spudswhich are sprouting away nicely now but god it is so windy here you wouldint believe it, So eventually after planting two rows of potatoes we had to give up it was just too bad, hopefully tomorrow will be better! I am having trouble with the exposure on my camera which seems to be over exposing everything it is a fairly new camera so I guess I will just have to get out the instruction manual and see if I can fix it, so please bear with me till I sort it out!
