This month I have decided my seasonal tree (fancy name for some branches!) is going to have a dog theme! Dilly’s birthday was in May, Duggee’s birthday is the end of May and obviously little Delphi’s gotcha day was this week too.
As this is a new theme I am starting from scratch so all I’ve made so far is a set of little hanging picture frames. I have painted these tiny embroidery frames and decoupaged a picture of each of my doggies including my dilly-dog who died 7 years ago. I made these before I picked up Delphi so the photo was one the breeder sent me. I may re-do one when she’s a bit older with another picture.
I have some ideas to make some little decorations with beads, modelling some with fimo, felting little dogs and making something with their names on. Let me know if you have any other ideas!
And if your wondering, we’ve had a lovely week with Delphi and she’s settled in so well!
How are you decorating your seasonal tree this month?
Only a small Magpie Monday this month as I have lots of puppy stuff to buy (counting down the days till we pick her up!!!) but I couldn't resist this sweet little pink dish. I LOVE pink glass and this is perfect for a candle or nibbles. It was only £2 from a charity shop and is so sweet.
What pre-loved bargains have you found this month?(sorry pics are a bit green as its weird evening light)
Hello, hello! Wow this month has felt busy and lovely and full of family. But I am tired and I am seem to constantly have laundry to do!
Not sure if you remember but a couple of years ago we made a pond out of a big old wooden planter and added a barrel as a water feature. Each year I plant out the barrel with flowers, but this year we decided to do a bit more of a rockery so that it would be nice in the Winter too and last week we did it! The grass and plant next to it will grow about a foot tall and I can't wait to see it all fill out!Usually by now my greenhouse is full of seeds growing, but I have been a bit behind this year with only a few trays done but I am going to be grabbing every free moment this weekend to get them done!
Have you been getting much soil under your nails?
