Will I become a gardener?

I have always enjoyed looking at friends gardens but have never had one of my own. The sum total of my experience is buying indoor plants and then killing them.

Well the house has garden beds and I have always wanted a herb garden so I am now a card carrying member of our local Flower Power store. Watch this space over the coming months to see how I go.

A sampler for the hall

I fell in love with this sampler designed by Alicia as soon as I saw it. While embroidery is not my strong suit I do enjoy it. So the first few stitches have been taken.

Turning a house into a home

Although we don't move for 7 weeks our thoughts have already turned to what we are going to do to make the new place truly ours. My friend Pennie has a hall that she has left unpainted and guests write on. While I'm not doing that i do have a long hall that I wish to make a feature of.

We have decided to fill it with all different bits and pieces that mean something to us.

The first thing will be our bidding card. Mind you it won't have this ghastly pink frame.
