It’s been a glorious weekend hasn’t it? And we have had a lovely time outside sorting, clearing, tidying and generally getting rid of a lot of mess and mud left over by our building work. We have tried to restore our grass verge by sowing lots of grass seed and the first of my “makes” this weekend are these which have now been strategically placed on the aforesaid verge to try and keep passing cars off (not that we have many passing cars, maybe between 10 and 20 a day when it’s busy).
Daisy and I have planted cucumber, salad leaves, sunflowers and beech tree seeds this weekend too, so Spring must definitely be here.
Other than the stones, I haven’t made a lot this week as I have finally got onto Pinterest and have spent a large amount of time on there discovering what it’s all about and pinning things. I did make these, inspired by M-Crafts post last week. I managed to attach them to the findings quite easily by just attaching the findings to the felt.
I put adjustable knots on the necklace cord, so it can be worn either short or long.
Finally my very clever business partner at Tickled Pink Crafts, Amanda, made some beautiful flowers last week. She has used them on this fabulous picture.
She very kindly sent me some to play with, and I have turned them into quirky rings.
I think they would be great to wear for a night out or provide a great talking point at a dinner party or other social event.
So now I’m going to link to Handmade Monday on Wendy’s wonderful blog at 1st Unique Gifts and have a peek at what everyone else has been up to (it’s becoming my Sunday/Monday addiction!).

I really like these rings they look brilliant! I am very jealous that your garden is being transformed – mine is just a jungle and beyond help! X

Thank you.
I’m not sure “transformed” is quite the right description, but it’s definitely looking better than it did. Trouble is, there’s more building to come which will completely “untransform” it again!!

Lovely makes by you and Amanda, I’m trying to get busy in the garden too but finding it difficult finding the time, at least now it’s staying lighter in the evenings I can potter till later.

Such pretty felt jewellery – they remind me of primroses! There’s nothing like a bit of wall-building – I’ve built loads here to make raised beds and they’re still standing! Those black bricks are very stylish.

Lovely rings. Much better than plain band rings.

I think those rings look fabulous – and isn’t it lovely to be outside and sowing seeds and stuff? Have a great week.

The rings and the felt flowers look great. I wish my garden was as organised as yours, its far too big for me to manage and my gardener seems to have disappeared since last year so its looking a bit of a jungle! x
