Hi there everyone I hope you have all had a great weekend. I thought I would show you my sewing or unsewing progress today. It's not a word but but thought it sounded fun to say.:) Anyway I have made good progress cutting, pinning and ironing on interfacing but I didn't get a chance to get the sewing done I had wanted. Tomorrow is another day and with a deadline of this week I'm sure it will be ready for the birthday girl on Saturday.
It's getting late so I'll keep it short and sweet. Thanks for stopping by.
I do have a little confession to make. A few weeks ago I proudly showed you my mango seeds that I was so excited about sprouting and planted them into some pots in my veggie patch. Sadly, I haven't got any mango seeds sprouting because some nuisance crows came and pulled them out of the pots and ate them.:( I have stopped feeding the wild birds and I hoped that because there wasn't seed around to attract them that maybe they won't visit but they still are so I will need to find something to deter them. Do you have any ideas to stop unwanted crows visiting?
Before I found out about Eden Seeds and the idea of propagating my own seedlings, I bought some seedlings from Bunnings and planted them about 3 weeks ago and most of them are doing well. In my garden I've planted * cucumber * cos lettuce * carrots * shallots * rhubarb * corn (from seed) * tomato * peas (from seed) * sunflowers (from seed) and * herbsI am happy to say that my corn have sprouted from seed nicely and so I sowed four more corn seeds as well as the peas on Wednesday. I read that planting veggies around a chook pen is also good and gives the chooks something to eat so I planted some peas around their pen. The reason that I chose these particular plants was because I thought I would use the Moon planting guide I found in my Better Homes and Gardens magazine that suggested to sow seed-producing crops on Wednesday, Thursday and some of Friday. I will keep you updated on the progress.
Soon we hope to buy a puppy for the girls and so that our new addition stays in the yard my husband built another fence at the side of the house as well as a beautiful arbour. He got the pattern out of the Handyman magazine and he did a wonderful job all that's left to do is give it a paint to match the other fence and all is finished. I'm really proud of his work so I just wanted to show all of you too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend I hope to get some sewing done for a friend's birthday that's coming up soon so hopefully I have something to show you tomorrow.
Thank you to all the lovely ladies that took the time to stop by my blog to comment on the giveaway and to every other time you come by, your comments always put a smile to my face I feel so lucky to have blog friends like you.
Have you got any plans for the weekend? I'm going to go and get a bit of pampering tomorrow getting a haircut, nothing dramatic planned just a trim and colour but it always makes me feel good. Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you again soon.
