Hi Everyone
I hope you have managed to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we had today.
We spent some of our time outdoors doing some much needed work in the garden .. .. .. plenty to keep us out of mischief out there that's for sure .. .. .. with the downside being there are no brown bin collections at the moment..
The greenhouse needs to be emptied and washed down ready for us to start some seeds off. We doubt that the nurseries are going to be open for buying plants so had better get a wriggle on and start growing our own.
I did have a little crafty session too and played along with the CAS Stencil Challenge which this month wants us to use gilding flakes with our stencils
Here is my offering:
This used:

Such a gorgeous card Jules, I love the black and gold together.
ReplyDeleteTwo of our local Nuseries are taking orders and making home deliveries for a small charge. Try looking on your local Facebook pages there might be some information on there.
Take care

Fab card for our CAS Stencil challenge Jules. Some of our nurseries are doing home delivery but I much prefer to go and look and choose myself - not likely I know - so maybe my pots won't get done till much later in the summer! x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jules, gorgeous colours.
ReplyDeleteWe were planting seeds yesterday - two types of tomato, courgettes and runner beans.
