EXCITING NEWS TODAY!

I checked my e-mail today and had a lovely note from Brenda at "COZY LITTLE HOUSE" BLOG. She is featuring me on her Friday blog. What a nice welcome into the blogging neighbourhood. I love her blog and visit it everyday because it is always so warm and cheery, like a breath of spring air! I am showing you some pictures of my studio today, I designed and finished it and my sweet husband built it for me. It is great to have a space to work in, for years my art spilled all over the house. All of the furniture is reclaimed and redone by us including the chairs and sofa. Most of the contents were destined for the bin including the gorgeous doors which I rescued from the Habitant for Humanity garbage bin. I feel like I should spruce the house up for blog visitors tomorrow. Thanks for the welcome Brenda!

A COLD & WET WEDNESDAY!

It has been a very cool day here, we have to embrace every warm day in Canada because we do not seem to get many. On the beautiful, sunny days you have to get as much done outside as possible because with the weather and the gardens you never know what is around the corner. I was hoping the back garden would get a chance to dry out but now it is going to rain for most of the week. I have not worked on much with my shop lately but will add some more soon, here are some faerie boxes I had done before, I may put them back on. I love visiting all of your blogs, if you drop by I would like to see something from you on my linky. You may have noticed I changed my blog background. I like to play around with patterns and colours to keep it fresh. It is fun, like decorating your house. Hope you all have a great day!

TUESDAY ALREADY!

That's one thing about a long weekend the week goes faster, I cannot believe it is already Tuesday. A little cool this morning but still lovely. Had tea at the top of the garden in the tent. I have a nice view all around from there and it is so quiet I can watch the birds and animals doing their thing all around me. The garden up here is still wet but I cleaned it up yesterday and moved some plants. By mid-June it will be perfect as long as we don't get a wet summer.
My husband built me this herb table, I call it a thyme table because I fill with assorted thyme. It is so wet I cannot sit there just yet, but it is so nice to smell the thyme first thing in the mornings when the weather is warmer.

WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

What a great weekend for being outside and gardening. My garden is bursting out all over. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend doing whatever.. I was talking to my husband last night about all of the beautiful blogs I have visited and great people I have communicated with and I realized that blogging is the new pen pal system only faster and more visual. I have had a fantastic time since I started my blog 6 weeks ago, I wish I had done it sooner. I want to share a few pictures of my garden at the back of my farm. These are from last summer when we had our sons wedding Alice In Wonderland party so it is decorated. The garden is still a little wet but it will look like this again soon. Don't forget to put a pic on my linky ( to the left under " you are next"). I would love to see something from you.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING!

Lovely day again. Working in the garden, planting the veggies today. Looked in the garden this morning and the irises bloomed. They look so lovely against the green hostas and ferns. Very happy with my garden. I can't believe it but just now as I am typing this it started to rain. Put a couple of items in my shop today too. Have a great day everyone!

SUNNY, SUNNY SATURDAY!

Oh what a beautiful day. This morning I sat in my screened room listening to the birds sing, drinking tea and catching up on my British Edition of Country Living ( fab magazine!) The country noises didn't start until later ( lawn mowing, my neighbour listening to some sport on the radio really loud) but the morning was lovely. I am showing you the pretty view I have.
We visited our son, daughter-in-law and gorgeous grandbaby yesterday. She is so cute and really animated now, laughing, babbling and best of all recognizing us! I took some cool shots on the way home from the car. I love to experiment with the camera. Hope you all are have a fantastic weekend. Don't forget to add to my Linky (on the left) put some pics of your gardens if you like.

A GOOD DAY IN THE GARDEN!

I worked in my front garden all day today it was so nice to get outside. It is going to rain again next week so I am trying to get as much done as possible. I look at my neighbours across the borders gardens on their blogs and I cannot believe how wonderful and full their gardens look. Our weather has been horrible this spring so the gardens are behind, I hope they last longer into the fall. Sat in my screened-in room today too. It is like a cottage and overlooks our property. It is so nice to see the green again!
