Tims Tag March

Evening lovelies - I am watching Poldark as I write this so please excuse me if there's any gibberish! Its been a good Sunday - one spent at home with the girls - Penny baked a cake - a victoria sandwich - I'll post a picture soon - and we did a bit of gardening - got the onion sets put in and the leek seeds sown. I need to get hold of some broad bean seeds next and get them in pots to start off!

I also got time to do my Tim tag for this month. Love this one - and am very pleased with it. Here you will find timholtz 12-tags-of-2015-march but here's Tims version:marchtag

Absolutely gorgeous - I had most of the stuff so went ahead and made my version - its very similar to Tims original idea.


I used the same techniques outlined by Tim but had a bit of a happy accident with my mustard seed distress paint - oh my word it got everywhere - I have quite a few mop up papers. I also used abandoned coral, cracked pistachio and mowed lawn. 

I would like to enter this into timholtz 12-tags-of-2015-march. 

I promised you a look at Penny's cake - here it is:


She's so pleased with it - and so are we! Yum!!

Big hugs!

Rachel xx

    Gosh, Penny is quite the little baker! I wish I could make cakes but sadly, I just have to stick to savoury cooking! Your tag is gorgeous Rachel, what a lovely combination of colours and I adore the butterfly! Hugs, Anne xx

    Hi Rachel. I'm glad you and the girls had a lovely day and I must start getting into the garden again soon. I haven't had a chance to look at Tim's tag yet but yours has inspired me to get a move on. I love the colours you have chosen.
