Autumn Potting Shed

 We have been out in the autumnal garden a lot this weekend, taking down the sweetpea canes for another year, cutting back some of the plants and sweeping up fallen leaves........as well as pottering in the potting shed of course.................

 ...............we have lots of conkers this year and i have enjoyed collecting them as usual.........

 ..............and taking a few photos too, featuring my sweet bunch of roses which were a gift.........

 ..............i have filled the larger pots with autumn and winter flowering plants for some colour in the tiny courtyard outside out back door.............

 ............with lots of help from molly, who is not just the new sewing room dog but also the new garden dog............she might be very young, tiny and fluffy but she is an intrepid explorer and loves to push her way through the wilder bits of the garden and return covered in goose grass seeds or mud :).........mr p has fenced off the pond for now too............

 .............over the weekend i spent a bit of time trying to sort out my indoor work spaces too.....lots of decorative materials to keep track of for all the projects i'm creating at the moment can mean a muddle and lots of time spent hunting for things..........

 ............so i am tidying up and putting things away in tins and baskets in an orderly way ;).....

 ..........making sure i remember where i have put the things i have tidied away;).............

                                          ................roses in the sewing room.............

                                          .............and all the plants potted up now.............

 ...............so it is time to get down to some work for this busy week..........

 .............i have sharpened my pencils, filled the paint water jar with clean water, got out the new paper crafting supplies..........and ironed lots of fabrics.............

 ...........and made a new flower pincushion to use for my new projects............i can't have too many pincushions around the place............and little scissors too........in a moment i will be off to make a start......or maybe just have a quick cup of coffee first?...................

...........thank you for visiting me here, dear readers, and for your sweet comments which are a joy to receive........i look forward to popping in to visit you too over the coming week........wishing you all happy autumn days with lots of crafty inspirations...........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxooooooooxxxxxx
