Making pottery seed labels

 Here are my odd pottery labels I use a porcelain painter pen. you can use the sticks from costa coffee they are a little thinner, but do work. Use a strong super glue. we will not be put of gardening by the horrid weather.Have fun

Found a few daffs on the allotment, just enough for a jam jar full.

A not so tidy corner

Squirrelling gone too far. This is the naughty cupboard today, I'm meant to be sorting it out and lots has to go, ready for when the car boot starts . The best one is always in a field with the sun shining . people selling flowers, homemade jam and lots of china finds. So as soon as the field is dry we will head to Rousden, Dorset our local car boot. The trick is to sell more than I bring back. I'm sure we all have a squirrel cupboard and I'm not alone.

Squirrel anwers

A few tidy corners of my home

 

 

You lovely bloggers out there are very good at showing your homes which I love to see, so I thought it was time to show you a corner or two of mine, as its only fair. We live in a large building that's very old and was used for dancing and receptions many, many years a go. So we have very high ceilings and big rooms with lots of light. This is a tidy corner of the kitchen with a toy shelf I made a curtain for.

 

The only tidy bit of the lounge

kitchen bits

 

I Planted up this pot with forget-me-nots for the bedroom.

Bedroom bits I had a funny phase of painting balls of wool, luckily it's passed as it's not very lucrative. A limited amount of people want a painting of a ball of wool, so the bedrooms full of them!
