Perfect poppy.... The centre of these is sort of strring some felty ideas in my head at the moment, not sure what....A felty middle couched and some crochet bits...
Now how's about that for a pollen covered bizzy bees bottom? Finally the bees has discovered the bee house we mad 2 weeks ago and they are packing it full of pollen and bees. I noticed today just how much the bees adore the flowers of the broad beans, and that they are scented I'd never taken the time to smell the broad bean flowers before they were sweeter than I expected.
I have to admit I don't like broad beans but to humour my dad I agreed to grow my own and to eat them when young an tender I think my memory of them was from school hard boiled icky ones. An suggestions as to how to cook etc welcome:D
The weather seems to have suited the Rocket plants which have appeared like triffids and are very yummy and psicy, nothing like the limp expensive bags of yuck from the supermarket. With continuous cropping in mind, the second planting of peas are up.
Life here is busy what with Olly, Half term and visitors. The visitors were the best bit though having my Mum and Dad here for a couple of days. mum was crocheting like a demon. We spent a bit of time surfing the net looking for new flower and heart patterns to try. Now I know I may be biased but I reckon Mum's own designs are the best. I mean besides designing her own she's reading patterns in German, French and Dutch!!!! On the off chance I may have inherited the crochet gene I attempted a go, and nope no chance. I have no tension ( plenty in my shoulder) none in my hands! In fact K was better at it by miles. I'll stick to the felt and the sewing.
One white ear passing by my camera at great speed today in the gorgeous sunshine.
One brown ear at slower motion going back the other way! He's certainly full of beans our boy. I can't thank
Laurie enough for all her helpful advice on springers you're a star (PS survived the pasta, even enjoyed it oh and found the Croc under the bathroom sink) 9pm is mad dog hour every night just when you'd love to sit and relax with CSI or Grey's Anatomy. Anything on the floor seems to be fair game for test eating including sticks, shoes, poo (I know gross) my plants and pants. Nice
But just look at him he is so cute and playful! Just after this he ripped up my thrift plant...hmmm cute hmmmmmm
His yellow dummy which he adores for retrieving I wonder how long it will last for?
Like I said sticks are fair game, thank god he's got pet insurance!
Now tell me those spots aren't just so strokeable? I like to smooth them when he's fasto on the bean bag...
Fetch!!!! It is still warm here after a boiling day when by 2 I gave up weeding the garden for fear of heat stroke and came in to potter. Oh I hate creeping twitch grass and down with creeping buttercup and ban the cleavers too, they have gone mental in the garden it's a take over bid!!
Yum.
Love me, love me, love me it's all in the eyes or are they saying "FEED ME" "FEED ME".................................................................... Here comes my glass of wine 2 hrs until Olly turns into the roadrunner. Kids and pets I think I need a holiday, oh wait we've supposed to have just ahd one, why then do i feel knackered!

You are very, very welcome flower ! Always glad to help if I can, Olly is fantabulous. We'll have to get them both together !!!!!!
Archibald's manic hour is about 7.30pm whereby he likes to 'love' his beanbag bed ! My baby, having nooky urges ... NO Way, I don't like it.
