Back to work

 







Four trees and four birds..may need a few small tweaks but not far off ok.

Small cards, bookmarks, tags....small things to go on a stall with my bigger prints.

I am eyeing up a decent craft market...it's a little distant, but could be worth it.


The greenhouse growing is slow..but the night temperature is still quite low, so no great surprise..if a bit frustrating!





Pirate has been rebuilding a raised bed...and found it occupied by a garden worker.....



Not the biggest one we have seen here, but welcome all the same!

Those trees look like norfolk pine, nice growing your own spring onions

It looks like both of you will be occupied and busy.

You are so clever. I tried to wrap my head around how you would cut your stamp. It gave me the slightest of a headache. You're cutting trimming away everything from the details. You really do beautiful work.

Love your trees and birds! Two of my favourite things...

Amy those spring onions are shallots...the spring onions have decided not to germinate yet!!

The trees and birds are delightful and will certainly attract buyers.
I hope things continue to grow - it's tricky when the temperature fluctuates so much.

What about making Christmas cards? Your trees and birds look great.

gz said...

Good idea Northsider..and the right time to start on them as well!

I was so focused on your trees and birds, I missed your little frog. Always nice to have extra helpers in the garden!

gz said...

Molly, he is a toad...frogs seem to be absent this year from our garden and from the pond down by the bottom of the fields where we forage. Not even frogspawn so far

Nice artwork and a very beautiful garden helper! I agree about the missing hills in my walks. I used to spend a lot of time amongst hills and mountains when I was younger and every time I came back I would spy clouds on the horizon of the fenland and just for a split second I would think they were a distant range of hills.

Love your crafts! Please do open an on line spot so that I can look at it with a view to buying cards if you produce any - I can't get out and am always looking for such things. Love your garden worker - wish I had one.

Weave I might re-open my Etsy shop..I ought to get a selling page on my website..we will see what my webmaster brother has to say!

It's always good to see a toad! I'm not sure I've ever found one in our garden in all the years we've lived in London.
