Garden Tat

 

Last week I jokingly said I had the the worst garden tat

after a friend bought a metal cockerel

Well it soon turned out into full competition mode.

I was well out in front until some clever

clogs came up with a three foot plastic dinosaur.

I nearly conceded the title at this point

after looking around at my little collection.

Then I thought I’ve got to pull a rabbit out of the hat 

here or I’m doomed.

So I didn’t bottle it,  I came out all guns blazing

and here it is,  the winning piece.

My mahoosive scarecrow budgie from 2012.

Think that puts me back up on the winning spot 

don’t you.

Coroners cave

The wandering welder has been very busy in the garden this week as you can see.

He’s made a fabulous area around the gas box.  He calls it “Glance to the right”

That’s because to see it when you come out of the front door that’s what you have to do.

He’s also redone the cupboard and renamed it “Coroners Cave”. Said he’s keeping all the spare parts in there.  He has built a bench in the garage and named it “Coroners Corner”.  Apparently coroners benches are narrow to allow them to get round.  Crikey you learn something every day.

I have serious worries about the sanity of this man

Mind you he probably thinks the same of me 

Filling the garden with plastic plants 

Haha

I think the whole house is bonkers

I mean look at the wildlife

Some fat bloke with no vest

 Happy nearly weekend day

 and the ladies over at Annie's Friday Smiles.

There's not much going on in the garden yet

other than these beautiful Snowdrops

that have been in there for years and we 

now have three clumps of them.

Apart  from that there's this crazy duck 

who looks like she has crashed in after 

a night of debauchery at a hen do

And there's this fat bloke with no vest on.

He must be frozen.  Although looking at his 

peeling skin he might have had to much sun.

So its over to Annie's now to see what 

she has to share with us.

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

It's all about foraging for fabric this week

 I paid a visit to the local Salvation Army Shop and picked up two cushions, a crotchet top and a curtain, for the grand total of £5.50

As soon as I got home I turned the curtain into a cover for the garden sofa seat pad with enough left to make a blind for the bathroom window.  Then I fettled with some fabric pieces and made double sided seat pads for the chairs.

Donning my flowery charity shop frock I draped myself across the sofa looking like an English rose type of lady and waited for the weary welder to arrive home.  Then it lashed it down, so I had to abandon that plan.  Serves me right I should have been pulling them horrible weeds out that I've just noticed.

Back inside I've cut up more fabrics pieces to add to the patchwork curtains I'm making for the bedroom.

You do all know that I am not an accomplished seamstress so anything you see is comically known as The Rough & Ready Range.  Don't check out my stitchwork if you call in for a cuppa.

I've done a bit more slow stitching on this wall hanging then had to give in as the golfers elbow flared up.  Its amazing how you can get tennis/golfers elbow without even swinging a bat or a stick.

Finally I hope you all have a great creative week and that I can get to sit outside on my fancy furniture.
