What happened to my garden?
So we had plans to redo our garden, the 2 big Spruces were taken down the first week we lived in the house & we’ve been slowly working towards our plan.
That would be until now……in spring we cut down all the trees that lined the side of the garden & worked slowly on removing the deep-set roots & tree stumps. Yesterday we had some help on our garden project & when I got home from work, this is what I found. =)
No grass left anywhere, just lots & lots of dirt, the plan was to remove the bushes & tree stumps & level off the garden, but I thought I’d have some grass left somewhere. Ah well this is what happens when you aren’t home to supervise & leave the men to work ;)
Now the plan is the let the garden settle until next spring, then we will sow new grass & plant new bushes all around the garden, using all of the land we have which is a few extra meters in the back than it was before. =D

How I spent my morning!
I spent all morning cutting out 13 obi belts, in different combinations with the Amy Butler fabrics that I have. =)
The afternoon was spent watching reruns of Project Runway & trying to get the hang of knitting again. It’s been about 15 – 20 years since I last knitted properly & I wasn’t very good back then, so I’m slowly, slowly trying to knit a scarf. A knit stitch I can do, I’m not great at purling, so like I said it’s going very, very slow, but atleast I’m trying. =)

Latest Projects
A jersey top I made a few months ago & one of my latest projects, an Obi belt. I plan on making more of these in some lovely Amy Butler fabrics that I have & selling them on Etsy. So keep checking the blog if you are interested in a Amy Butler Obi Belt! =)
I made these aprons for my lovely friend Erica, she chose among the Amy Butler fabrics that I have & asked for an apron for her bf, which is the stripey one.
And for herself she wanted one like I made for myself long ago, using the lovely Emmeline apron pattern. I’m loving the pink side, I didn’t think I would because the darker fabric is one of my favourites.
On another note, I love my birthday present that is hanging in the background. It’s just so Me! I love the new Mini Cooper, it’s my dream car, I will be a very happy girl if I ever get enough money to buy one =D The fact that the Mini is on a Union Jack, just makes it that much better =)
