Dinosaurs

Gosh, I´m slacking, didn´t realise it was so long since I last posted.

We have been having inclement weather these past few weeks, but we have managed a few garden days when the rain has stopped. Never seen the Bernia mountain so green or the grass on our terraces so long. All our efforts on taming the wilderness are still happening but you turn round and a tiny green hue of weeds are back again. 
The roses seem to like it though and the Iris I planted a couple of years ago actually flowered this year.


The daisies in the courtyard brighten it up, some of them had self seeded in strange places so I repotted them together to make a nice splash of colour

Unfortunately some of the rain has been ´dirty´so the pool is in need of some tlc and the courtyard became a skating rink as green algae coated the tiles, yuk!!
There was nothing for it but to scrub it off

This area is about 84 sq ft, took me 2 days to complete it but so much better

I am trying not to look at the rest of the courtyard, it´s a much larger area, probably 5 times the size,
little by little I suppose.

I have been doing all sorts of different projects, Chris wanted a face mask, I found a pattern which incorporated a pipe cleaner for the nose piece which made it quite a snug fit so he was happy.

Rebecca wanted some wall stickers for the nursery and decided on a dinosaur theme, so running with that I thought a mobile would be nice.

Searching through the stash I found suitable colours of felt



They are all about 3.5" with this larger one for the centre

I embellished them with components I wouldn´t normally use, ie buttons, but thought it would be ok as it will be well out of Theo´s reach.

Then decided to make a couple of larger ones


Whilst on a roll, this cube was next but I added a rattle inside
Each side has a different motif

Chris is hoping to get to the post office tomorrow as we haven´t collected our mail for several weeks, so hopefully they will accept a parcel and it can make its way to Theo.
Got a little jacket to stitch up now.
take care

  1. Those dinosaurs are so cute and I'm sure Theo will enjoy looking at them, the bright colours will catch his attention. Everyone seems to be getting on with their outdoor jobs here with such good weather coinciding with the lockdown, people have got the time to spend in their gardens.

    1. Lovely to be out in the garden, relaxing, a bit of exercise, a bit of colour and maybe even some veggies being grown xcx

  2. Dear Chrissie
    Splashes of colour are just what we all need at the moment, aren't they? The dinosaurs look fantastic and I am sure Theo will love them.
    Best wishes

    1. So pleased to have a stash, making use of materials and making them work is quite satisfying. The first parcel went off yesterday for Theo, who knows how long it will take to get there though xcx

    1. Having all this rain helped me focus on crafting projects rather than tackling the wilderness xcx
