Ta-dah!



Hi guys :)
The weather was lovely today, so i sent out The Bearded Wonder to strim the grass. I don't go near the strimmer. They are dangerous! Ask me how i know... ;)

It was a nice, pottery sort of day, nice enough to wear a skirt, so i went out and attempted to unearth the paving stone path in the middle of the garden, but it is so overgrown i'll need a proper spade to get rid of it all instead of a teeny trowel, which is useless.
I also planted some potatoes from kitchen scraps, whether they will grow or not i have no idea, but fingers firmly crossed! 

I made a strawberry cheesecake thingy, but without the cheese, and i got single cream instead of whipping cream so it was quite sloppy, but it still tastes lovely (Eating it as we speak)



And lastly.... a huge ta-dah moment! 
I finished my cardigan!!!! 

Yes i know it is a top.... it was SUPPOSED to be a cardigan, but i made the panels far too big and, quite frankly, couldn't be bothered to undo them and start again so i sewed one over the other and turned it into a top instead! Which is why the middle panel looks a bit bulky and makes me look pregnant 
(i'm not). I'm calling it a tummy warmer ;) 

What have you been up to today?

      Because last time i tried to use one the wire got caught and i lifted it up to untangle it and didn't realize i still had my finger on the button and pushed it by accident. it ended up cutting into my knee about 20 times and stung like holy hell! I've still got a faint scar lol :)
      Which is why i let the hubby do it :P

    I like it as a top - lovely! Good luck with the potatoes. It is always worth a try - you never know what will happen if you don't give it a go!

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration  Yup.  You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table   and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

Garden stuff

Hi guys :) Thank your all your lovely comments about the Bearded Wonder, he is doing wonderfully and has even voluntarily made a new appointment at the doctors (will wonders ever cease?) With the lovely weather we have finally made it out into the garden, and got to work.  There is still so much to do to get it to where we want it but, progress is progress no matter how small :) The Bearded Wonder has dug out the path, and we are going to border it in an attempt at keeping the weeds and grass at bay, and put either gravel or pebbles in the gaps. I have cobbled together a frame, and am going to put down cardboard, newspaper and mulch to block down the weeds, and with any luck by next year it should be diggable, and shall be used for herbs and above ground growing plants such as salads and brassicas etc  We also got a lovely new bed from a friend, so our old Divan bed has had it's fabric sides ripped out and shall be pressed into service as raised bed...
