WOYWW - Venture into ATC !

Hi hope everyone is having a good week ?

The rain is lashing against my window tonight & the temperature is barely 6oC - so last week was obviously summer !

Blink & you will miss it !

Last Saturday my friend Lynda, her friend Nikki & I went up to the RHS Flower Show at Malvern.


At lunchtime the heavens opened - just as we we well away from any shelter - so we got soaked to the skin !


So we squelched about in the afternoon - clothes clinging to us like a soggy shower curtain - trying to dry out !








Still we had a great time looking round the show gardens and got lured by some lovely plants too !


So there I was on Sunday - also trudging about gardening in the rain - trying to get all my new plant friends planted out as I am away next week !










So with all that gardening not much crafting got done - but I did make my venture into ATC's - for the WOYWW swop next week - not sure if I have done it right making them the same design but I planned one for my "asterisk" swop WOYWWer and one each for my friends Bella & Lynda - plus one for me to keep !
 

Anyway - hope the weather is better with you then me - have a great week !!

    Wow, those gardens look wonderful! Pity about the weather. The ATCs look perfect (excuse the unintended pun) and I also do them all the same for something like this. Can't wait for next week!

    Hi Ali Commenting from my sick bed. Glad you enjoyed Saturday. My photos are still firmly in the camera! Your ATCs are great. Shall I make one? What sizes etc... any theme? Might not do it anytime soon as my brain is totally flu fuddled. Not blogging today, not sure what day I thought it was but not in real world this week! x

    60C is way, way too hot for me. I have lived with the high 50s, but never hit 60 before. I hope you have a way to keep cool. Of course, I also hope those plants don't wilt or have heat stroke. They are lovely, though. And your saying is simply PERFECT.

    Happy WOYWW. I am officially miserable with the current weather. Thermals are back on! Love your ATCs. Mine are still just an entry in my notebook, ie on the To Do List. I expect it will be a last minute thing for me as usual. Ali x #28
