Sweet Mary

The roses in the garden are blooming! Lots and lots of the most beautiful blooms. These are the notice boards I have been working on to sell at the Holly Trail next week - just a few more to do and maybe a few kiddie ones as well. As the next week is going to be very busy for me with lots of last minute things to get ready for my stall I will take a wee break but get back soon after next Nov. 9th with photos from the event.

Last April my friend Nic gave me a gorgeous piece of fabric as a birthday present which I thought was a great idea. What could be more perfect than a piece of fabric for someone who loves it so. The weekend just passed, I used that piece of fabric to cover this pinboard in my play room and I am very pleased with the result. I will be selling my pinboards (different fabric!) along with my lavender hearts from my stall at the Holly Trail which is coming up soon. There was a small piece of the fabric left so that got made up into a few lavender hearts to add to my stash that I am building up for my stall. One went to Nic of course. The first rose to flower in our rose garden. I counted over 50 bushes in the three rose borders. It is going to be a wonderful sight when they are all in bloom. Below is the rose garden two days ago with the single rose on the far left side. Just imagine...
