Mixed Up Saturday

 






Good Saturday Morning Ladies,  

I hope that you are all relaxed and looking forward to the weekend,  what are you all up to this weekend,  we have no plans,  Paul wants to get the strawberry runners all potted up and his new Temu potato buckets filled ready for potting up,  the seeds that I had sowed a week ago have all started to come through,   years ago we had Lavateras growing in our garden,  they grey really big,  we both loved them so when I found a pack of seeds that came free on a magazine it was definitely worth sowing them just to see if they germinate and guess what...every seed germinated,  so fingers crossed they all grow on.  I am pleased my sweet peas all came through too. 

My Mothers Day card from Soph


Its quite a good likeness 🤣😂,  She said it was her revenge for my calling her a crazy plant lady.  
I love it 😍


Here are some of the lovely Spring flowers that the lovely warm sunshine has encouraged to open up...












I get so excited seeing the garden burst into life,  we planted some of the daffodils quite late last year but that hasn't stopped them coming through,   I love how many different varieties of daffodils we have,  from plain white, to orange and white and all sorts in between,   the ones 3 & 4 photos up have really thick inner petals they are almost waxy and the scent is so strong 🥰 It has been the perfect antidote to feeling fed up about my health.  

Gina's Bargains 




Gina's Description:

Three photos attached showing what I bought on Thursday. 
First one: Embossing folders, Stamps & Stamp platform. I paid £3 for it as it had 1 leg missing. 

2nd :  Dies

3rd Mica Rub on powders from Craft Artist,  which cost me £5 ,for all 3!

Wow Gina you got some incredible bargains,  if the stamp platform has one of the little sticker type feet missing try adding a bit of blu tack or something to even it up.  
I hope you enjoy playing with your new goodies,  I look forward to seeing what you create. 

Thank you so much for sharing your shopping with us XXX 


That's all for today my lovelies,  

I hope you have a lovely weekend   

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx
