A day of musings and thoughts!

So I was out in the garden sowing seeds. I've shown rocket salad and beetroot seeds today. I plan to picklet the beetroots when they have grown. I have a project at the moment and that is to improve the backgarden. For over 20 years we had several leylandi in our back garden and as everyone knows leylandi are greedy and suck all the goodness out of the ground, so now I am busy improving soil ready to put lots of lovely new plants in. Its great discovering all the plants I can grow and the vegetables - grow your own is definitely the way to go. I am so excited because at the beginning of August this year my first crop of potatoes will be ready to harvest.

Have been trawling the internet as usual for beautiful images and I have found so many its ridiculous, so I shall share a few later on. I am seriously getting into ribbon flowers and creating my own. Some good tutorials on You Tube, all seem to be American ladies - don't any English ladies share their craft with the world? At the moment I am working through a beautiful Donna Kooler cross-stitch design entitled 'Home Sweet Home'. Its great, Donna's designs are vibrant and colourful - I recommend any of her books.

Working through my writing course, hopefully getting closer to writing my first novel. I have one story that I started last year and I have come back to now, 29 pages down and several more to go. I don't want to say too much about it at the moment as I am still studying my writing course which I promised myself last year - its a New Year's Resolution that I actually kept! I have recently thought about this story again and perhaps progressing it more. Hopefully I can write a few more pages and really get the story moving. I think a good title for it is The Book Fool so watch out for this in the future as you never know it could be on the bookshelves soon and you heard it here first - if anybody is listening or reading this out there in internet land - somehow I don't think so?!?!?!?!?

Anyway, here are some pretty fabulous images of things that I just adore and thought beautiful after all that is what this blog is all about musings, thoughts and beautiful things - enjoy!!!
