So very much to do!

Hello wonderful people out there sorry not checked in for a while been a busy girl!
I would like to quickly add a couple of massive thank yous in here.....
Firstly to Kelly at A Stuffed Life for arranging the wonderful Midsummers Night Dream Party. I had lots of fun doing it and have also decided there are many more things I would like to try but have not been brave enough so am going to put in more effort. I also really enjoyed reading everyone elses blogs and seeing what they made.
Secondly to Pete and Dec (other half's family) A huge thank you for putting up with all of us crashing at your home every other weekend, invading your privacy and leaving a trail of mess behind us! We really hope your new life in Cornwall works out great for both of you and are looking forward to our visit in October.
So as you can tell by the title I have been very busy! I have just finished my second commission! But will have to wait to post pics as the piece is a surprise and the lovely lady whom it is for may just wander past my blog and take a peek!
Secondly also keeping under wraps (as not to jinx it) I have been working on something exciting so watch this space!!!

The garden is also a busy place at the moment.....

There are squashes everywhere and something really strange is happening to my corn (well I think its strange but I've never grown corn before). It has started to sprout hair!!!

OK not quiet real hair but still it looks quiet strange. 

Mess makers sun flower has now started to grow a flower head....

And is now this HUGE..........

I have been very lucky today in that I have got lots of work done (none of which I'm telling just yet, sorry) and I was lucky enough to buy some of Laura's wonderful beads....

I'm soooo excited to be getting these they look stunning just like precious gems! Hehe I feel like a kid in a sweet shop! 

Wishing you all well have a wonderful day xxx

gardening

Again another beautiful day, spent most of the day gardening with the assistance of the mess maker. 

She worked very hard and only stopped digging long enough to pose for one photo..................

With all this sunshine (and me remembering to water them) the veg are growing, there actually growing! I'd say im winning against the slugs but it's a close call they seem to be munching there way through a fair few leaves, and in a couple of cases whole plants but with the help of lots of egg shells (they don't like sliming over the sharp edges), vaseline (they cant grip onto) and empty bottles I should have a few veg to harvest! 

Mess makers sun flower is looking pretty impressive. Its almost taller then me now (which is not that big as I'm only "almost" 5 ft) but its managed to survive the slugs with only one leaf  slightly chomped on!

More news on project luck, well did not find anything yesterday and was not doing to well today until I came home from food shopping and then I stumbled upon letter L!

Ladybird. 

Apparently nearly all cultures believe that the ladybird is lucky, and the more spots the luckier! Any way rambling aside I could not send her the ladybird (don't think it would be considered lucky if dead) so managed to get a pic of it instead.......

Now I need to decide what to do with it. Send her pic in email/put photo in frame/keying/necklace??? Possibilities are endless!!!
