Sea glass and picot edging.........

Don't you just love Sunday? especially in the winter,when you know that what ever the weather...warm full bellies will follow Sunday lunch, I love roasties.

Sea glass
The weather is still on the bleak side, but the tide was in our favour, so after prepping lunch we took the dogs down to the beach so they could run off their excess energy.I however stroll, I have become a beach scavenger, I arrived armed with warm clothes against the wind, several cameras and a collection bag. The objects of my desire are sea washed glass,any shells with a pearlescent finish and off course driftwood.Projects will follow using all these goodies,but for now I am getting collections together,  as the summer approaches there will be less raw materials for me to collect.

Verbena

Cola scented geranium.
The greenhouse did hold two new smile factors,a second Sweet pea and my first cream Nasturtium.I was also pleased to see all the new green shoots appearing on the Pelargonium and Verbena.

My reconditioned deck chairs.

You can never have enough Daisies xxx

While looking to do 'indoor' garden jobs it was nice to dust down  my old reconditioned deckchairs, I made new seats for them and decorated the backs with contrast pennants,I have also unpacked all my garden lamps, tea lights and stands, which will good for summer tea parties.

The house this afternoon was taken over by sport, first England in the rugby and then followed by the African Nations football final, which left me free to get on with some more knitting, all pieces now complete, the picot edging finished. Now just the pressing and all the sewing up left to do,so hope the ballet cardigan will be completed tomorrow.
