Hello and Happy Monday to you all.
Today I am happy to be back into doing some cross stitch. A little one that I started a few months back and put aside. A few more nights of stitching and it will be finished.
I wish you could smell the handmade soap that is in the photo. A combination of Peru Balsam,Lavender and Geranium. Bonnie purchased this for me in Yallingup. She went down to Margaret River for the weekend. She came home laden with lots of cheeses as well. Yummo. Bonnie knows how to make me very happy.
Ian and I spent the day out in the garden on Sunday. Happy to have done lots of weeding and tidying up. Ian made a trellis for the grape vine we planted. An Apricot tree was planted down the front yard. A Purple Crab Apple was planted in the garden bed which we look out onto from the dining room and a Honeysuckle was planted as well. Gardening always makes me very happy.
Congratulations to the All Blacks on the World Cup win and I believe New Zealand had a win in the netball too.
I hope you have a very Happy Monday wherever you are.
Happy days.
Bev C

your lavender is very pretty.
A productive weekend spent in the garden too. Love home grown apricots.
Your garden sounds amazing Bev. What a beautiful cross stitch and the purple lavender and soap are a nice addition to the photo. Your mail holder on your last post is beautiful.
The "Help" is getting good but I can already tell it will be a tear jerker.
Have an amazing day in what ever you do today.
Blessings!
Hello Bev, love handmade soap...yours sounds like it would smell divine. Glad you spent an enjoyable Sunday in your garden. I have some new plants that came home with me on Saturday to go into the garden as well. Gorgeous lavender. Isn't the garden the best place to be at this time of year!
I can't smell the soap but the cross stitch is beautiful!
Good grief, I'd totally forgotten about the netball. I love handmade soap but can never stand to use it, seems so wasteful. Love to keep it in clothes drawers to keep things smelling nice. That way I can enjoy it for a lot longer.
