Garden tour

Just a little tour of the garden today.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The sweet peas have been glorious

The holly hocks are so tall this year.

I'm afraid the Asian Bell tree in the pic has decided to die

I'm not sure why.

We have left it in the ground and growing a wisteria up it.

The potted bay tree is about 20 yrs old

With the coming of another hot Summer,I am afraid it will be a struggle

for most of the flowers. 

 I am going now to enjoy my favourite blogs

the links are on my side bar

I hope your garden is looking good too.

Roses,Roses,Roses

You might remember the little boys Christening ensemble I posted about a few weeks ago

Well the mother and  Godmother

 were so pleased with the outfit, they presented me with a dozen pink roses in a beautiful vase

I forgot to take a photo,but couldn't bare to throw them out when they wilted,

so I dried them

and then took a photo

Roses from my garden

A little roses dress

available on Ebay

Roses china,also available on Ebay

More roses in my garden

Roses in my sewing room

I cannot do without roses in my life

They are such a pretty flower

I love them as much  this way.

I hope you are having a rosy week

join me at my favourite linky parties 

The links are on my side bar.

I think Beverleys Pink Saturday will be the first for a visit

Baby dresses all finished,roses and teacups

I always start  off my projects by getting all the fabric together

and deciding on the style to suit the pattern

These are the newest fabrics I purchased

I love the tiny patterns for babies

I cut out as many as I can out of the fabric and usually do all the same size each batch

This is so I don't get the sizes mixed up

Then I smock them all first and then each stage gets done on all dresses

at the same time, like a production line :)

They are all available on Ebay from the 1st November

Now a little bit of pink

I cut me a lovely bunch of roses before the wind got them all

We have been getting so much wind lately,it's not the usual lovely Spring weather

even though it's quite warm,the wind spoils it

These roses are so pretty,all speckled

Have a nice day

join me at some lovely linky parties

Tea in the garden with china and lace

I love to collect pretty china

and cannot enjoy a cup of tea in anything else

This is one of my favourites

Royal Albert Nosegay

It's Spring time and the sun is shining,although we have

been getting some rain and high winds on days in between,

but being Australia,we get sunshine most days of the year.

I think even though I'm in the garden,I still like comfort,

and as I am a cushionaholic,I have to have lots here too.

As I have collected lots of vintage lace,it just makes it extra special

to use this even in the garden

Why won't you join me for a cuppa and a chat in the sunshine

Join me at some great linky parties and peek into

other pretty blogs

You will find the links on my side bar,just click on them to visit

Have a nice day
