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?
It's the Easter holidays and I couldn't be happier but I will admit that this clock change seems to have hit me like never before ... I am ready for a nap anytime!!
I haven't been out spending much this month so don't have a Magpie Monday from this month, but this is one we bought a year or so ago ... it is a really unusual piece of furniture which we both love. It was £25 from Marketplace and my dad gave it a bit of a fix up and polish and it is perfect for keeping blankets in in the sitting room. I have very snuggly boys who love cuddling up in them so it's just what I needed! Looking closely at it, we think it is put together from a larger piece. I love the carving and little draw!
What have you been buying this month, or what has been your biggest bargain?
The boys say they have never seen me so excited but I have to wait a little longer ... It has taken me a while to get over my Dilly-dog dying but now feels the right time to get another little girl ... and guess what, she is ready for collecting on my birthday which will just make it the best birthday ever!
She is only 2 weeks at the moment so still very 'ickle! Isn't she just the sweetest! Ahhh I can't wait.
