My city garden

As the weather has been nice, I have really been making an effort with my garden. I moved some of my little seedlings into pots to keep outside. Sadly I live on the top (3rd) floor, so it's not easy to just 'pop' out and see to them, but I am trying my best not to let them die. I must admit my garden was helped along by the donation of some plants (I can't remember the names) from my big brother, who works in a plany nursery.

Please note, we didn't buy enough mulch, so it isn't in it's fully glory yet.

Recycled Knitting

http://www.myrecycledbags.com/

I found this website, which is soooo cool. I would really like to do some knitting with old plastic carrier bags, because I always have about a million!! It's also a really good way of saving money on buying yarn.

Invitation inspiration

Oh My God - I love this invitation idea here from Green Wedding Shoes Would fit quite well into the Festival/Maritime Theme - It could be a Wheel of Fortune or a compass?! Exciting!

Bounteous Bunting

Been looking up bunting for the wedding. We have 3 1/2 acres to cover!!

All these are lovely too!

This site is my favourite though, alongside the paper bunting above!

I think I will be going for colour, but do the simple elegance of this....

For Phil

This will make little philly collapse with delight

Here!

p.s Sorry I have not been on the crafty scene all that much - had manic few weeks but promise to blog soon!

Growing a jungle in my kitchen

A couple of weeks ago I planted some seeds, a little late in the year I know. I have positioned them on top of my microwave in a prime sun catching spot in hope they will grow. This is my little sun flowers so far. By the end of the summer I'm hoping they're at least be a few feet tall. I'm also hoping that I will get some seeds from these sunflowers to plant loads of sunflowers next year.

These are some cuttings my mum gave me from her garden. One is Holly, and I can't remember the other one, but she assures me they will grow quite big and fill my poor empty garden a bit.

I really like the idea of making my (shared) garden look like a weird jungle of plants. Those of you that have seen my garden would probably say it does already. I also like to give my little seedlings a pep talk every morning, much to my boyfriend's horror. I like to think it encourages them to grow. Mad or bored? Who cares?

Gingerbread men army

After some delay (my apologies) here are my decorated Gingerbraed men. I think will be doing some biscuit and cake decorating again. I really liked it and you get to eat them afterwards!!

Sadly the blog won't let me turn the picture round, so you'll have to tilt your heads I'm afraid.
