Mixed up Saturday

 


Good Saturday Morning Ladies,  

I hope that your weekend has started well,  we have no rain forecast today,  so thats a bonus,   its going to be around 16° so not too chilly either!   We have lots of planting and sowing to do so the weather is perfect   


This is something I have been trying to focus on lately,  I tend to think negatively and I naturally focus on the things that I struggle to do,  however since I have started reading positive affirmations etc I have started making myself think of something that I have managed to acheive each day,  I can be something as simple as making a card or journal page or completing a chore that I have been potting off, I even class getting outside in the garden a mini victory!   I encourage you to try it my lovelies x 


Another daffodil variety,  how adorable are these little things, I think that they are actually Narcissus.



We have a passion for carnivorous plants in our house, we have had this one for about 2 years and it has tripled in size,  it tempts the flies in to those big tubes and the way that the hairs are angled flies can't get out.   Usually it recommends that you remove flower spikes before flower develops as it drains energy from the plant,  as ours is big and healthy we let it flower this year and my goodness it was worth it, the flower is beautiful.  Our other varieties are still to young to flower butvI am excited to see what their flowers will look like. 

and finally I am sharing my bargains from Sizzix sale....




It looks like a lot but there were some absolute bargains and some of the dies I've wanted for a long time!  Some of these things were 75% off!   I can't wait to play but don't know where to start ! 🤣😅

I hope that you all have a great Saturday , 

Love and hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx

  2. Hi everyone
    Live the quote and today’s reminder ☺️
    Your daffodils are beautiful as is your plant. It’s a lovely colour.
    Hope you have a productive day in the garden my lovely 🥰
    Your shopping is amazing, some brilliant bargains. I had a look and added to my basket but in the end I refrained from buying anything. I still have so much unused stuff that I should use first ☺️
    Karen, enjoy the bowls, it’s the taking part that counts. Have a great time at the party this evening too 🙂
    Have a good day everyone
    Sending hugs to you all xx
