Through the week I also finished off the Blue Wren wall hanging. It turned out really well. The border fabric looked quite drab by itself, but once it was put with the other blues it really came to life. I think Mum will like this addition to her blue wren collection.
I had today at home for a change. Mick was working, so I just pottered around doing housework and other mundane things. No sewing, but I now have inspiration for Mum’s quilt. More tomorrow.
Yesterday I noticed that the little bulbs I planted back in April (check out the details here) were starting to flower, so it is time to dig them up and bring them inside. Burying the pots in the garden worked really well. They are all nice and healthy and the soil lovely and moist – just ignore the weeds!
They looked a bit sad when they first came out of the ground.
With a bit of a wipe down and when placed in some old china with some sugar cane mulch to hide the pots they look OK.

All those pretty flowers, for me daffs and hyacinths are a promise that spring is on the way.
Love your stitchery and your planting looks fantastic.
Your stitchery looks great - love the frog in the flowerpot.
The blue wren hanging turned out beautifully, your mum will love it!
Great idea with the bulbs being left in pots in the ground. They look so cheery in their new containers. I especially love the daffodils in the painted box.
