Ode to summer....continued
In part two of my ode to summer series you can see how flowers rule the day! I'm currently inspired my all the amazing things growing in my little greenhouse. This year is my first year attempting anything in the garden and I've surprised even myself at my progress so far!
However, in an attempt to transfer a (what I would call a large) sunflower seedling to a bigger pot, it somehow didn't take to it's new surroundings and literlly withered away within hours of re-planting! I was really sad about it, simply because I planted it from seed and spent each day tending to it and watering it! Ah well, I do have another 10 or so sunflowers to attend to as well as carrots, tomotoes, chilli, rosmary and thyme, aubergienes and fennel! Wish me luck transferring those when the time comes!

I'm a real crafter!
How about you?
Ever browse photos of other peoples work spaces, drool and wonder how (and if!) they keep it soooo tidy! Perhaps they are really organised and one of those neat freaks which I am happy and proud to say, I am not!! Don't get me wrong, every now and again I will do a clear out and organise the space so that I can get back to making great items, but most of the time it looks a little like this!

I'm OK with being a messy crafter, the boyfriend may not be.....but he'll have to deal with it for now, or least until LuckyRainbowDesigns makes me my first million euro and I can buy a bigger and more organised space! (wishful thinking on my part there!)
Note the twine that fell into the cup of tea, not intentional I swear! it's not unusual for me to grab ribbon, glue twine, paper etc and not look where I'm going.....I spill drinks on a regular basis! :)
One day, perhaps I'll have a lovely, organised craft room like this one! If only! The bright light and the lovely airy-ness of the room are to die for!
