It's a rather wet May

 Hello again :) 

I thought I do my weekend post early as it's supposed to be nice weather at the weekend and I need to get some gardening done. We had so much rain here and when it's actually sunny I have to make the most of it and get some things done. According to the forecast we will have two nice days before more rain is on its way. 

Also , tomorrow is the Eurovision Song Contest. I love music, so watching this is a must ! I'll have some snacks and I might even open a bottle of red wine , and settle in on my sofa for 3-4 hours of music. I hope one of my favourites will win. 

The mini lilac tree I planted late last year is blooming for the first time. 
Flowers and trees seem to be liking all this rain, my tomatoe plants not so much. Plus this wet weather brings all the snails out, and they love nothing better than to munch on the baby plants. 
Pink flower pompoms :) 

No craft pictures this time. Work didn't leave much time to get creative. 
And a quick layout with bluebells .
And with this it's time for the new freebie...
Here is your download link 



Enjoy , and until next post again.

Blessed Beltane, Happy May Day

 Hi everybody :)

We had a few nicer sunny days here, but the temperature is still quite cool. And today, on May Bank holiday , it's rather grey and cloudy. But gardening season has started. I've spend a few hours planting my baby plants and more seeds. Yesterday I ran out of compost so I need to get my bum to the shop before I can carry on and plant more. 

Last week , on my way home, I came across this lovely scene. The bluebells are starting to bloom. 
And how lovely are these? 
I have a thing for dried flowers in the moment , so when I came across this wall display I had to get it. 
I also picked a few flowers outside and they are currently in the drying process, and also some in a flower press. I have some ideas what to do with them , but that will be for another post. 
Last year , during the sales after Christmas , I picked up this Jute table runner for a bargain price. Back then I wasn't quite sure how to use it, but since I started the Rico transformation designs in the wooden hoops ,I realised a matching table runner would be just the thing. This will be a project that will take me quite a while. :) 
If  you like Hygge/Boho style and upcycling ,I can recommend "The reclaimed Heirloom" on YouTube.
She shows how to make some beautiful pieces for your home decor.

I have already saved some videos with things I want to try. 

But now it's time for the next freebie part. 
Time for part 4 


Enjoy and have a wonderful week 💓
Until next time.
