Crafting - shopping - gardening.

I have been busy today. Made some more of these flower decorations for the garden. 
This is what you need if you want to have a go and make some. CD, pieces of plastic and or vinyl for the petals, a button, a knitting needle, and a piece of wire. Poke the wire through from front to back, twist it around a knitting needle, and secure it using a hot glue gun. 

I think I have fixed the sagging bed. I found a section of a wire fireguard in the shed and laid it across the width of the bed, and secured it with cable ties. It overhangs by an inch each side. I had a spare piece of board so I pushed that in as well, for extra support. 
Then I laid on it, and it doesn't sag. Plenty of room underneath it for storage boxes. 

A short shopping trip this afternoon to The Range, and Home Bargains, to stock up on cat food and bird seed. When I came back I got the lawn mower out for the first time this year, and cut the grass back and front. It's amazing how a cheap B & Q mower keeps going year after year. Mayze and Mickey enjoying the last of the sunshine. I think they are in love. 😻😺😸

A lovely sunny day again. Long may it continue. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

    1. Thank you. I like the challenge of making something from nothing. Finding a use for something that others might throw away. Working with limited resources forces you to stretch the mind. Buying new stuff from a shop is too easy.

  2. Getting the garden all ready for more sunny and warmer days. Makes you feel good doesn’t it. A nice kind of tired in the evening. We had snow flurries here yesterday. Luckily it didn’t seem to damage the budding trees.

  3. I may have to give these decorations a try Ilona... Sadly, I don't believe I have any scrap fabric at the moment. But as soon as I do, I know what I will be doing with it. :)

    Have a nice day,
