First off .... please excuse the font on this post .... I can't get Blogger to Blog my Blog the way I would like my Blog to look!
My desk may look the same as last week but oh! no! it isn't!
I have my ABC sheet ready to make a start on my Alphabet swap ATCs and my Tutorial for making Lavender Wands ready to appear under the cards. My Birthday Calendar has been updated - Works has 2018 Calendar Tabs on sale - so my desk has lots going for it today.
It was Lavender trimming day at the Train's Garden yesterday and I am hoping that the flowers will still be fresh enough for the girls to make some wands at CRUNCH. Every year I promise myself I will make some and sell them at the Open Day to help raise some funds. This year, at least I can share the fun with my friends.
We hope to be able to show Little Soldier how to plant today. We have some late sowings of peas ready to be transplanted and want to enlist his help .... and then we can wash the patio down .... towels will be to hand as will be a change of clothes!! lol
Thank you to all my visitors last week, hope to visit a few more desks this week but we will see ......
BTW

Oh I can smell the lavender from here. I have lots in the garden but every time I think of cutting it it's covered with bees so I don't have the heart. I guess they love it as much as us.

Wow, you certainly have lots on the go. I'm sure Little Soldier will enjoy the gardening; lots of messy fun of a different kind. Happy WOYWW Sarah #25
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I do love lavender, such a glorious smell. And the bees it attracts is incredible. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 XxX
ReplyDeleteOh that's a lot of lavender! The wands are wonderful (see what I did there??!!) so I hope you get some done before the flowers drop. Still they'lll be luverly anyway. Good luck with the planting, am going to guess that the little soldier will really enjoy some legitimate dirt!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. Oh boy - all that achieving - I'm quite exhausted just reading about it!! Well done. Hope you, the Little soldier and the patio have all survived the experiences!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

ReplyDeleteHi Christine. Yours has definitely been the busiest desk on my travels so far! I love the stained glass rainbow card, not seen one like that before! Very pretty. Have a lovely week, Heather #30
ReplyDeleteMmm - lovely smell of lavender around today!! Hope you had fun pea planting! x Jo #18
ReplyDeleteHello Christine Gardening and planting peas sounds like a lot of fun. I tend to require a change of clothes myself whenever gardening Lol.
ReplyDeleteThose lavendar wands look delightful! The woven ribbon makes those so special.
The one source I've got locally for lavendar has already dried and drooped. I guess I must have missed my chance. Next year, perhaps? ;)
Happy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make those lavender wands! Have fun! It looks like you have a nice bunch of lavender to work with! So much fun teaching little ones about growing vegetables, and peas are so fast, he will be able to see them growing almost right away! Have a great week, thanks for sharing, Lindart #35
ReplyDeleteOh yea, and the font? Don't know what you wanted it to look like, but it was perfect! Lindart
ReplyDeleteOhh love all your craft goodies. Have a great week xx Jan (42)
