10 days, 10 things...

So, 10 days have passed since I last posted...

Not really sure why that is, but it's been a strange time. A time of fleeing at a moments notice; a time of tears and laughing; a time of having friends and being a friend. The holidays are going at a steady pace and I'm enjoying having No2 around...

10 things that have marked the long summer break so far:




:: Babette panels 1 - 5 ::





:: Blue butterfly at London Zoo ::





:: Blue binding ready to finish my quilt ::




::Bug house at Syon Park gardens ::
I want one!



:: more Jitterbug because I have the sock bug ::





:: NOT the dahlias I ordered, but lovely nonetheless ::



:: stunning orange dahlia picked from the PYO beds at my local nursery ::



:: purple anemones outside my backdoor ::



:: the most amazing terraced gardens at Upton House ::





:: and the stairs that lead you down ::

  1. My brother got married at Syon Park - what a wonderful place it is and that bug house is amazing.

    Glad things are good with you and number 2.

  2. So in love with Babette! How I wish I could crochet.

    And very glad the flowers are working out despite the mixed-up order. Rachel (who provides me with the wonderful berries) apparently had problems with her SR veg order this year, too...
