here's the baskets all planted up ready to harden off before hanging up.
These are the back garden beds - all planted up except one - I've got peas, sweet peas, spinach, cos lettuce, rocket, broad beans and leeks.... one more bed to be done then I can get around to the front.
Here's my new roof - from the back.
The front garden is in full bloom ... beautiful colours.
Onto todays card - I started the stampbord on Saturday at Clarity Cumbria ... that made it a quick job to stencil the background and complete the card this evening - its going to be for my dad on Father's day.
The stamp is this months club stamp - love it!
Here's a close up....
I would like to enter this into the claritystampchallenge-39 - anything goes.
Have a great day whatever you're doing!

The garden is looking lovely Rachel and sounds like you will be well stocked with veggies. Lovely leaves and fresh greens on your card.

Lovely to see your garden. I must admit I always find the green man a bit spooky
ReplyDeleteYou are a hard worker sweetie, but its fab eating your own fresh veggies. Hanging baskets always look a bit sad at first, but again will soon be in full bloom !!
