Shop updates.....

I have been busy this week adding my new brooches to my shop like these cute little heart brooches with their mini heart safety pins. My favourite is the black and white one with the aqua stitching so if that one sells I might have to make one for myself to wear. I have also finally gotten around to getting my "Felt shop" up and running. "Felt" is the kiwi version of Etsy so if you're a local reader it will make buying my items easier.

I have only added my brooches so far to my felt shop but will add other items as time permits :-)

To visit my shops click on the buttons in my side bar. The Felt shop avatar and link is directly under my Etsy shop showcase button.

Hoping to get some more sewing done this weekend and maybe tidy up another part of my garden if the sun comes out to join me.

Wishing you a lovely weekend with whatever you have planned.

Harvesting....

Over the weekend I decided to finally get stuck into my poor neglected veggie garden. Full of weeds, dead tomato plants and stakes, and embellished with a dying trail of pumpkin plants. The above harvest of pumpkins was a gift from my home made compost which I added to the gardens when planting them out at the beginning of last summer. They almost took over the planters and looked slightly untidy but I'm glad I let them stay as we have enough pumpkin for soups, muffins, quiches etc... this winter. My girls don't really like roast pumpkin but they'll willingly eat it if it's baked in things.

 This is my veggie garden when I was halfway through the weeding with the pumpkin plants already gone.....

...and this is what it looks like now. Much better don't you think :-) Such a satisfying job and now I can move onto other areas of the garden to tidy up although I'm thinking I should probably plant out some onions and garlic plants in those empty planters. Don't want to waste good soil now....
