A few photos from my new polytunnel which is officially going bonkers after all the lovely weather. I can virtually watch my squash and courgette plants growing and the pak choi has been amazing.


As I mentioned in an earlier post with is my first experience with a polytunnel (although I have wanted one for years) and I'm totally loving it. Everything is looking wonderfully healthy and its only been four weeks since the thing went up - and all the plants have been grown from seed (although I did start these off back in early May)

For years my husband as referred to me as "black finger" when it comes to growing things.......he may just have to eat his words!

Guess who's got a lovely new apron.....

A wonderful apron arrived in the post for me the other day from my lovely swap partner Sash at The Indigo Elephant. It came all the way from Australia and it was worth it because I think its the best apron ever. The fabric is so pretty and fits in perfectly in my kitchen. Thank you very much Sash as you may have gathered I love it!

A photo from the UK Handmade stall at the We Make Summer Fair at Chelsea Town Hall (held at the weekend). You can see my little cards and button hair bands on the left hand side of the table. I'm hoping to get a stall at their Christmas fair so keeping my fingers crossed.

Loving this print from Angie Lewin. I think the colours are so beautiful. I found it on the St Jude's website which is full of lots of tempting things. I stumbled across this gallery a few months ago when my husband and I were on a rare day trip without the kids. Its in a tiny village in Norfolk in the middle of nowhere, but the quality of work was fabulous and we were amazed. If its too far away for you to visit then a trip to the website is definitely worthwhile.

A spot of Yarnbombombing for a Monday morning....I just love it! Check out their blog

P.S. Don't forget about my earlier Pay it Forward post. No one has entered yet......where is everyone?!

Here is my Pay it Forward. Basically, if you haven't come across this before the idea is that the first three people to leave a comment get a lovely handmade gift from myself sometime before Christmas. All you have to do is to put a Pay it Forward on your blog and send a gift to three more recipients passing the good karma on. Simple and everyone likes a surprise parcel in post!

Scrummy things....

I have just added lots of lovely new bits and pieces to my Etsy shop....

And finally these gorgeous liberty fabric hairbands are now in my Etsy shop (£2.40)

I'm definitely going to have to find time to make myself some of these.....I love them!
