gardening

the weather is starting to warm here in Oz..so today I am out planting petunias,although we still have slight frosts,the days are gorgeous,I have hollyhocks coming up.and will today scatter some Larkspur seeds around,we live on 10 acres but my garden is surrounded by a Dry stonewall,[my hubbies trade]  I hope they all come up within 6 weeks as we are booked by the Drystonewalling assoc of Australia to do a workshop on our propery and ofcourse being a woman I want it to look pretty hahahaha...

my mini knitting needle's,..tiny mini crochet hook,..pattern's and wool have now arrived,..

I have so far attempted miniature 'Granny Squares'  for a 1:12th scale Afghan..

 seems a bit big for 1:12 scale but will look nice when finished,..

     today is damp again here so I have been inside most of the morning

 and started a 'MillHill' Buttons&Beads x-stitch on perforated paper... working on perforated

 paper makes it lay better for framing ..

                                   I want to get started on a 1:12 scale room box over the weekend

for a group project .. we will all be doing a different one which should be fun.. hope everyone else is finding fun things to do  ;)  

Thankyou Barb and Sandie

thankyou to Barb in US and Sandie in Oz I may now be getting the hang of this blogging,
what would we be without friends (((VBG))))....

I have got back into Miniatures after 15 years absence,
 I will put up pics of what I am doing shortly..
