Look what I made......


Had a little play on the torch the other day and look what I made! I am really happy with it even though it is wonky and huge!! It is one of my favourite colour combos though. Have some beads to put up during the week, and have a plan for some rings...

Look what I have grown......

I am as pleased as punch with this strawberry! It is the first one that I have ever grown, and doesn't it look nice! I don't even want to pick it....I know that I am going to have to do that tomorrow probably, but I do like to pop out on to my balcony and have a look at it. I have lots more strawberries coming and toms, but this is the first!

What beautiful weather we are having right now. I do wish that it would cool down a bit at night time though. You can't please some people can you!!

Mamma Mia......

.

The funniest thing has happened. Ryver (above) loves to watch Mamma Mia, amongst other films. He sings along to Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. So husband found the ABBA... CD and I put in the car for Ryver to listen to whilst we were driving along. We had a great time singing at the top of our voice. But...the car seems to like Abba to, and is refusing to give up the CD. So everytime the engine is on...ABBA sing! Mamma Mia here we go again..my my......

Amazing Tree


I have been trying for ages to get this photo upload. FINALLY worked out that I have to bluetooth my photos from my phone to laptop.....must make and effort to keep up with technology!! Anyway back to the photo...this is one tree. Honestly. It is in the middle of the field and is like this almost all year round. It does get some buds on it, but I have never seen it in full glory so to speak. Though I am paying more attention to it this year. I really like this tree.
I would really like to know why this tree is like that.
I have also planted sunflowers (V, I am sorry about the lack of photos). I was wondering why they hadn't started to sprout. Then I watched my son and the dog pick the 'weeds' as my son called them! So they have been sprouting, they are just being picked!! I now have or did at my last check have four sunflowers sprouting.
What fantastic weather we have had over the last couple of days. It has been really nice to see so much sun.
I had planned to have a longer blog tonight, but there is a helicopter flying around in circles above me and the noise is really starting to irritate me...so I am off!!!

Rosary


Long time no blog again! I have written many blogs in my head, but just not had the time during the day or night to get to laptop and have everything in working order i.e laptop, internet connection, brain, camera!!
Making the rosary above was such a pleasure to do. I have been working on it for sometime now, but was not happy with the various designs, looks of the rosary. Then I found some beads, that were not lost, but I had forgotten where I had put them.....made by Laura. I bought these from Laura a flipping long time ago and I am so happy with what I have done with them, as I wanted to do something special. A friend of mine saw the above rosary and has already asked me to make her one also. I know it is not made to the decades perfectly, but that was not what it was about this piece.
I am doing the RaceforLife this year...first time I have done it. I have added a link to my sponsor page. I am quite looking forward to it at the moment!!
