Home Sweet Home Garden Box Clare Charvill Graphic 45
Brrrr!! it was a frosty frozen start to the day when I took Ols to work this morning but the clouds have cleared and the sun is out so things are looking promising for a really nice day.  It's that time of year when all of us fair weather gardeners get outside and start tidying and planting.  I thought I d' alter one of my This N' That boxes to keep my seeds, string and planter labels in but I think Harry had nabbed it.  Its full of golf balls lol!!  I've gone for green, yellow and red papers from the Home Sweet Home collection by Graphic 45 and love how all the papers work together.  

Here's a few more pics 


Have you been watching Poldark? I can't believe we're up to episode 3 and I haven't mentioned it.  I remember watching it with Mum back in the 70's and loved it then. I'm loving the remake and am now totally hooked on it second time around.  For those of you reading from outside of the UK the series is based on the novels by Winston Graham, and set in the rugged north Cornwall countryside. Here's a bit of then and now blog candy of Ross Poldark and his servant and from this coming week his wife Demelza.  Roll on Sunday , I can t wait .........!!

I've just got to hang out the washing and then get back to finishing off the project sheet for this weekends workshop.  Have a great day yourself and let's catch up again later in the week :-)

For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle. Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
