Garden Flowers

Wordless Wednesday :)

Cake anyone ?

I just had to show you all these lovely little fancies (not sure why they are called that)
 Everywhere you go at the moment there are union flags displayed, all ready for the Olympic Games and of course these would be perfect if your having a street party.

Or just simply a good old fashioned afternoon tea

I wouldn't normally blog about actual brands unless I think they derserve a mention,

                      Thanks Mr Kipling I can look at my cake and eat it yeh it's vegetarian.

 The sun is shining here at last, I thought I was going to grow web feet, I still need wellies for the garden though, DROUGHT WHAT DROUGHT :)

Have a good week wherever you are Cate x

Come for a walk

 I remembered to take my camera yesterday when I took the dog for a walk. I didn't take many but thought you would like to see the wildlife, don't you just love clouds? or am I on my own here?

  I love this tree which means you may have seen it before :)

I waited and waited but didn't see the woodpecker.

 A WEED IS JUST A FLOWER IN THE WRONG PLACE 

 A little wildlife, well what did you expect :) I always think Dandelions are pretty.
                              

Spring has sprung

Not sure how old these ploughs are

The scary wildlife a lovely little newt

Hawthorne blossom
 And back home

 For a nice cup of tea

  I can't believe how cold it is today, the wind off the water felt like ice this morning.
 I am still slogging away at the course work. I think the novelty has worn off now, infact I'm just about to get to work, so here's hoping your all well and happy
 bye for now

A bit of upcycleing

One plain pale blue wool cardigan + one tatty chair back cover with nice lace'

Cut out a few of the flowers, luckily these were easy to detach, fiddle around until your happy and then carefully stitch the on.

 Nothing fancy, but I know theres only one around :)
 what do you think of my first effort ?
It seems ages since I was on here, school has been been busy but I have a day off on Monday and then it's almost the Easter hols, so I.m not complaining.
A couple more brooches to hoard, there doesen't seem to be much around these days.

  I'm looking forward to getting out to the bootfairs, I might even sell some clutter treasure. I really need to recycle some stuff.

 Well thats all for now, I have taken more pics of the baby pigs, they haven't grown too much so they are still cute.
 The weather here is so lovely at the moment it seems to make everyone feel better, and I can put my washing on the line at last :)
wishing you all a lovely weekend
bye for now Cate x

Pretty vintage lamp

Just popping in to show you this lovely little 50's lamp my daughter bought last week I had ummd and ahhd about it for a couple of days, I hadn't mentioned it to her, funny how we go for the same things.

It's red at the base but has a pale pink shade and is operated by a battery. I can just imagine it in some little girls room in the 40's or 50's.
The next three pics are a bit random I took them just because I thought  they looked nice, I tend to take these pics when I'm on my own as I do get some strange looks, you would think they would be used to my blogging  by now :)

These were found in the pantry when we moved in years ago. I'm glad I kept them.

My lovely husband bought these for me, he knows how much I like ducks, they are nodding salt and pepper pots.

Well that's all for now, I am doing ok with the homework so this is my time off for good behaviour :)
bye for now, hope your all enjoying the weekend.
