Phew!


You will never know what a relief it was when six, yes six!!, fabulous crafty people turned up to the first craft academy in the Scarborough shop, thanks guys! we cracked on almost immediately and everyone went home with three different projects they had completed in two hours, phew! it was a marathon but really enjoyable and everyone seemed pleased so hope they all come back next month! This pic is of the vintage teaset that Victoria got me for christmas that I was saving to use at the craft academy but forgot to take!! der! instead we had to sip tea out of our embarrassing stock of shop mismatched mugs mostly freebies from viking direct! never mind we'll have the whole vintage tea experience next time.

Are you like me and keep finding little bowls of bulbs you stuffed away in cupboards before christmas? no I hear you say? well I have to grow them all inside you see because of my long running squirrel feud, (they watch me all the time, honest!) but this year hah! I have outsmarted the little blighters and grown them all inside which isn't quite the same as looking out into your garden at a lovely bouncy drift of spring flowers but is certainly better than nothing, at least they don't eat bluebell bulbs so my treasured bluebell walk is safe, heh! stop sniggering you lot I know it's only ten foot long in a good year but a girl can dream!

I grew a bunch of bulbs inside too. But not because of squirrel problems, but because we are still in the dead of winter and we won't see any Spring flowers until April or May. I just couldn't wait that long.

p.s. "The Red House" book is about a young couple living in a tiny "bandbox" in London at the beginning of the Edwardian period and they inherit a large estate and Red House in the country. It's really lovely.

I keep meaning to do bowls of bulbs like grape hyacinths but always forget until it's too late. Story of my life really. Your parcel is in the post by the way.
