So I have been a bit busy...the garden is being landscaped. Who would have thought it would take so much effort to choose new paving...
That filled in fish pond that we inherited had to go....
So now it's gone - but not before a boulder the size of Stonhenge was dug out, and they unearthed the foundations of some ancient building that also had to be dug out. Let's hope we haven't destroyed a major archaeological find and dug up the foundations of a Roman villa or an Egyptian tomb - no, I'm being silly now....
So this is still a work in progress, I will update proudly when it's finished
Then Max and Milo came up for Sunday lunch with their parents. The boys and I spent a happy afternoon in my den, painting and making apples for their teachers. Much glue was spilt in the making of these apples, but they were so proud of their efforts. Max had watched my YouTube video on making little pumpkins, and wanted to try, so we adapted it to apples. He also said 'if you don't make more videos soon Ma, I am going to have to unfollow you'
and lastly for today, a quick card idea. A single white punched butterfly, stacked on top of six different coloured punched butterflies. A doodled trail, a scattering of gems, and you are done!
Hope you are doing fine sweet friend..
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you make more videos soon. I would hate for Max to unfollow you....LOL.. How fun it is to spend time with your grandbabies.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a big job, hope it goes by fast. Love the card and Milo is soooo funny.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to have a tea party in your garden once it's done! Boys did a great job with their teacher gifts and that butterfly card is one of my favourites xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy in your garden! It sounds like you had great fun with the boys, I think you had better do more videos soon! Love the butterfly card, the layered butterflies look fabulous! xxx

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the end result! Max and Milo are sure growing up! I love their projects and I'm sure they loved the time they spent crafting with you! Love the butterfly card! Early wishes for a Happy Mothers Day!
ReplyDeleteWow, the boys are growing fast! And I'm with them about needing more videos. Tho I would never unfriend you! Hope your garden is finished soon. You're surely unearthing everything. Sounds like you've cornered the market on topsoil! See you again soon. Hugs, Jess.
