Today is horrible weather. We had such a storm last night, the lashing wind kept making it's way into my dreams-I actually had dreams of trees breaking and falling onto houses! And I kept waking up imagining all kinds of garden things having been blown away! Thankfully all was in tact this morning....but the wind and rain is relentless today.

It's been a busy weekend, cleaned and packed away our big pool.
Planted seeds for Spring and summer.
Worked in the garden clearing away and making room for new growth and pretty flowers to go in soon!

So happy as my sweat peas are coming up all by themselves! Cannot wait for spring, last years show of flowers was amazing!

Today, after the usual Monday cleaning, I got some craft things done...
First up was to re-decorate my dining room dresser. It had become a bit messy, so I spruced it up a bit!


I made this patchwork cushion yesterday, complete with blanket stitch and a crochet edge, it closes with some buttons.


It is for my lounge. I then decided I liked it so much, I would do a few more for the lounge. Just for a change! So I did this one with the word "Home" . I am still going to do another one with the word "love" and one more...not sure yet what the 4th one will be.

This is the back of the above cushion. I did a blanket stitch with crochet wool and then a crochet edge.



Don't forget to enter my giveaway!!

Love those pillows...I could also see some lovely ribbons tied into pretty bows for closures as well. You must have been dreaming about the horrible tornados that we had here in the states again last night! This has been a terrible spring for storms here in the States. Luckily we only had thunderstorms and rain and the wind and tornados hit the midwest this time. But in one state alone over 89 people have died already...hate it! The wind really gets me nervous as well. Hopefully tonight we'll have sweeter dreams...perhaps if you sleep with your beautiful new pillows it will help ;)
