Garden Dreams

Hello again lovely readers......it's spring time here now and we are planning our garden planting for the coming season......
....we are planting lots of seeds in the greenhouse and will be ordering lots of bright flowers, both large  plants and small plug plants too....hope to fill up our garden with colour all summer long.....the little stitched flower patch pincushion here uses some of my favourite florals.....
....and here are the sugar bunnies dressed for spring in their new dungarees made from tilda tiny farm fabrics....
........i had lots of enquiries about clothes for boy bunnies so now i have a pattern for both dungarees and trousers in my etsy shop link in sidebar.....
........below is a picture of the trousers worn with the knitted toys spring cardigan and also a peek at the little bunnies quilt, vintage style......
.........here's my spring quilt cupboard stuffed with colourful quilts.......
.........the china bunnies have also reappeared to decorate our house......
........it looks like we might very well be able to hold the egg hunt here this easter for our little grandchildren....fingers crossed and the easing of lockdown plans continuing.......
..........pottering in the greenhouse and sorting out the bulbs....when they finish flowering in the pots i plant them out in the cottage garden.....there are lots of bulbs just coming through there and i can't wait to see what they are.......
.........and slowly the different varieties of daffodils are beginning to flower too......
......it's such a lovely time of year even with the chilly (well, freezing cold) days we still sometimes get it's lighter and brighter and sunnier and the birdsong is so uplifting.....
.........lots of gardening to do this weekend and i hope to share many more spring flowers with you soon......thank you so much for visiting me here dear readers and for the kind comments you take the time to leave me which are so much appreciated......wishing you all a happy week filled with cheerful times and crafty inspirations......take care lovelies.........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A lovely post. Perhaps I’ll go back to the local hardware shop and get some potted bulbs and plant them after they bloom. I never thought of that. Can’t wait until I can sit outside with my morning cup of tea! The bunny with the cardigan and trousers looks so cute!
