A Screwdriver and a Spoon



It was a short, quick week at work and varied with an overlocker lesson, a videography tutorial, customer quilts and everything in between.
 

In my garden a naughty dog made a wee hole in the greenhouse playing footie and I planted a row of hollyhocks on the other side of my rotting fence. My trowel broke in the stony ground so I had to resort to using a screwdriver and a spoon. I was advised that slugs might enjoy my new plants so I put pot scourers around them to put them off. Hopefully my neighbourhood hedgehog will eat all of the slugs anyway.




I have 3 beds made up in anticipation of my children visiting. I could really do with a bigger house or shorter visitors!


I considered making a start on the iPad cover that Nella requested then decided I did not have space for that right now as Freya’s tortoise will be taking up residence on my sewing table.


Fed up with how long it was taking me to paint Jo’s wall with a brush, I bought a sprayer which was definitely the way to go. I made an executive decision and got some paint mixed in Farrow & Ball’s brassica colour. I was worried that it would look too grey but there is a violet tinge to it so I think it looks rather nice:)
