The start of #Garden2026
It's our 22nd wedding anniversary in a week and the hellebore @SgothanGeal bought me for it a few years back is back into flower 🩷
It's in a pot on our stairs so I can get to admire the owners every time I walk up
It's taken a few attempts but this year not only has my Eryngium variflora survived it's flowered too
I think having it in a well drained pot has made the difference
Beautiful day so I'm pottering about catching up in the veg garden.
Look at who I found when repotting my tomatoes, it's an Angle Shades Moth.

P'nawn Da #WelshCraftHour Looks like we're heading back into picnic weather! This granny squares blanket is a versatile piece: in the car or campervan, at the beach, on the sofa or bed, or in the garden. I may be biased, but I think it's lovely😀!
Clearing through some old files and I found my original logo which I drew freehand on a wall in an old Art Village unit circa 2015
Not sure the wall even exists as that part of Shawlands Arcade was opened up to make the PureGym
You've been given a hand knitted item as a gift. How do you look after it? Don’t worry, I always provide care instructions. Most of HandKnics hand knits can be machine washed but the website also has the care details.

Our 2nd project in June is "stained glass" bookmarks.
I got both the summer and Japanese themed sets.
The ladies yesterday were unsure where to start with on colours so I'm just over halfway through colouring 1 of each type.

Not quite #Forbidden,
Fearlessly
Walking the
Obscure paths
Of night,
Elusive,
Mostly obscured
From view:
Nothing teaches
You resilience
Like a cat,
Perhaps no
Other creature
Is quite as
Taboo.

Playing with die cutting again today. Trying out different card stock with new dies.
I plan to make the embellishments for this year's Christmas card making class so I need to make a start so it doesn't get to be too onerous
Then after lunch I made a Mother's Day card
#MHHSBD
Been slack the last few weeks and skipped the embellishment making
Despite that I did an "audit" of how much I've done and it's building up well.
There was a lack of baubles so I've cut some coloured ones to add to the silver and white.

2 more sets of dies arrived this week , so had fun this morning cutting out a lot of penguins and deer
I thought it was about time to get them into decent storage - very satisfying
