After a morning of errands I got to spend a wet Saturday afternoon at my workdesk scrapping !Much beloved headed out to watch the Swans win at footie and so I could play at my desk guilt free !
I had some of my holiday photos already printed out and so was able to put together pages about our days at Cape Point, Franschhoek & Kirstenbosch Gardens. It's amazing how long ago the trip seems now but it is nice to be capturing the memories !
Sunday was a better day weather wise so the garden called & I tried to dig over the bed as it is capped with a hard layer of moss from the wet winter we have had - every time I moved I seemed to be crushing & compacting a squelching soil ! Anyone else having the same trouble ?
The afternoon was a bit more dreary and so I was finally able to the Finnabair style frame I started weeks ago !
Also after our trip to the Ally Pally Stamping Show earlier this month the challenge was to make something from what we bought there - here is my frame I painted & a decoupage dress form from the Fabulous Fashion range of House of Zandra !
Lynda look away now !!
I had "J" on Lynda & my Alphabet ATC challenge this month - so I chose Journey !
And here is a quick update photo of Project Vegtrug - things are growing away nicely so far - and I have all my beans plants potted on & tucked in the Vegtrug using it as a mini greenhouse as we have 3 or 4 more weeks before we can be sure we won't have a late frost !Have a great week !

ReplyDeleteHi Ali and Happy WOYWW. You've been very busy with photos, frames and plants this week...looking great. Cheers and have a lovely week RobynO#35
ReplyDeleteOooh, there's going to be frosts this weekend apparently....I've got spinach beet in my raised beds so am going to have to cover those up at night. Everything else is snuggy warm in the greenhouse at the moment. My soil is so wet as well, even though it's normally very free draining...
ReplyDeleteYour pages are great - I never succeed if I try to emulate something so just do my own thing now!
Hugs, LLJ 36 xx
I like all you projects, but I'm especially intrigued by your project life album, since I recently purchased a Basic Grey Capture album and supplies. I'm not sure how to start yet or what I'll use it for, so I'm trying to get ideas. I also love your vegetable garden table. My wife and I have an indoor herb garden, and she also started a tomato and peppers garden in our backyard. Happy WOYWW and Blessings! #67
ReplyDeleteSome great work going on there, Ali - I especially love the decoupage dress form. Oh, and if the vegtrug disappears from your garden, you'll know where to come and reclaim it!! Have a lovely week, Chris # 15
ReplyDeleteWow some really serious vegi growing happening, I just stick to pots it seems to keep me in order and I don't have time for a proper garden. Excellent creations too thank you for sharing.

I am desperate to be free of frosts, as I have a greenhouse overflowing with young plants that I need to plant out. Yes, my soil is in the same state as yours, even the new raised beds are in a similar state. I am also desperate to play with the things I bought at the NEC but the garden etc has taken over. Let's hope we all get things sorted and have a chance to play very soon. xx Maggie #61

ReplyDeleteLovexyou Ally Pally creations. Shaz in Oz. X#50
