Hi Everyone
Have you all had a good Bank Holiday? I hope so.
Life in the "House of Hearts" as been productive .. .. .. but sadly not all of it was in the craft department .. .. .. hence the lack of a post yesterday. The only crafting I have done has been for orders which I cannot share (sorry).
The garden has taken up a good deal of our time but we have made some good headway. The area I started to clear at the beginning of last week is finally finished and we have planted our runner beans and courgette plant.
We also tracked down some "sensibly priced" plants for the hanging baskets and pots and these are all planted up and watered in now too.
The lawns are cut and the greenhouse is half decent. I have been given a cucumber plant so now need to learn about looking after this.
Still lots more to do in the garden but at least we can see where we have been .. .. .. and judging by our aching knees and backs it has been a pretty good "work out" for us too.
I just "had" to make a card today though as I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms but whilst gardening I kept looking at my hands and wondering how I would ever be able to handle wedding stationery ever again!!!! But ten minutes of scrubbing with a nail brush sorted them out eventually LOL!!!

AW I LOVE that image, so cute!!!
SO well coloured!!!

Hi Jules. You have been busy this weekend and what gorgeous cards. I love the seaside one from your last post, what a great stamp, might have to check those out!!
I have just sucumbed to this LOTV stamp but haven't inked it yet. It's lovely isn't it. I love all the hearts on your BP.
£50 for a hanging basket, that's daylight robbery!!!! You need to find a cheaper Garden centre!!! If you lived nearer I'd give you your plants, my greenhouse is bursting at the seams.
Plant your cucumber in a big(huge)pot in the greenhouse and give it lots of water, they are really easy to look after.
Enjoy your chinese.
Hugs Lisax
Oh I have this image coming it is adorable, you have made a beautiful card and beautifully coloured

Beautiful! Gorgeous colouring and it is such a lovely image! I thought about you today as we went to wilkos to pick up some bird food (half the price of the garden centre) and saw lots of stuff for hanging baskets. Glad to hear yours are sorted
I love this LOTV image and your card is gorgeous.
Happy crafting
