This time of year is pretty exciting in the garden (even though I am not a gardener), what with new growth on the camelias and the roses in bloom, and everything looking so lush and green.  One of my fuschia’s has even survived the summer and has fresh greenery all over it.  Apologies to the other one.  Plus the hydrangeas are looking healthy too.

Here is a photo of the boxed socks with a nautical theme Ben got for his birthday- lobsters, octopuses (octopi?) and yachts.

Did I mention that I sold another item in my Etsy shop?  Cha-ching! went my phone on Friday night not long after we’d left for camp.  Luckily mum was able to find it in my Etsy shop cupboard and send it off for me while I was away.  It was a blue poncho that has gone now.  I think I was given enough yarn to make another purple one, I’ll have to take a look upstairs in my stash…

This daisy rug I am working on for my Etsy shop is coming along nicely too.

Plus I bought some yarn in a coral colour recently (from LoveCrochet) and a pattern, both by Debbie Bliss, I hope it’s not beyond my skill level!  It will be for Zoe if it works out.  The pattern is called Anouk, and the yarn is so soft and beautiful.

Happy Monday to you!
