Country living

I've set the scene with my new garden furniture

Now shall I do a bit of gardening, sketching or read a magazine

Or should I go and see the horses at the top of the lane. Or should I get my head out of the clouds and get on with clearing this lot

What's on my workdesk ......

There is nothing on my desk as I have been revamping my studio

Ive used these 12"x12" cork tiles (£8 pack of 9 tiles) to make mini mood boards.

Now I can change my inspiration wall around a lot easier.

You can buy self adhesive ones but I couldn't get hold of any so I used strong double sided tape on the back of mine.

This is the next thing I've got to tackle.  I laughingly call it the office.

Don't worry the real office stuff is on the other side of the room and is very organised.

I've also been doing a lot of work in the garden.

You can see more of my Inside/Outside garden here

LYNN'S GARDEN

This is not my garden its only a picture of the furniture ive ordered

When this arrives on Thursday I can't see me doing that clearing out in the office

unless its lashing down with rain.

You can see some "productive" workdesks here

OUR INSIDE OUTSIDE GARDEN

 We have some funny stuff in our garden, mainly because I can't resist a bargain and also because my hubby is an engineer and he brings all sorts home with him

  On the garden and home improvement programmes they talk about bringing the outside in.

 Not in our house, its the opposite way round. haha

  We even have pictures on the wall.

"Good day at the office dear"

I bet Mary Berry doesnt do this with her scales

or her pans.

And I bet DIY SOS don't use their hammers like this either

or their breeze block

 I wonder what Countryfile would make of this lot if they came across them in their garden.

I can't see Bradley Wiggins riding very far on this, can you ?

No time to chat now I've got a pan of soup to make

before I get on with the polishing.

CORK TILES AND MOOD BOARDS

I have stripped my inspiration wall of everything but the lovely clock my friend Anne gave me.

I'm having a revamp and the reason for this is mainly because when I have the patio door open and its windy my pictures keep falling off the wall.  But also I do think it does us all good to have a change round and freshen things up now and again.

While reading in bed this morning the author mentioned mood boards and that was my light bulb moment.  Off I  went to the diy store and  bought these cork tiles 12" x 12", with the intention of making mini mood boards to mount on my wall.

I can pin things on rather than using blutack

and I love the idea of being able to keep adding to them and changing things about.

I will show you some more as I go along and then the finished wall. There should be about 16 boards in all.

I wonder if a certain lady will recognise herself and her adorable other half.
