Garden Flowers and a Little Stitching

 Hello again dear blog friends.....the title of this post pretty much sums up the past week for me....

 ............lots of garden flowers being enjoyed here.....and lots of little stitchings going on...like this tiny four patch pincushion with a vintage button........

 ...........i've been playing with lots of vintage style fabrics and colours, buttons and trims, this week too.....actually lockdown has been good for me creatively and crafting has also kept me sane and focussed...as it has a lot of other creative folk out there, too, i know...........

.....here is a flower bed filled with self seeded rose campion (lychnis coronaria) in shades from pure white to deep pink.....they suddenly began growing en masse in a prairie planting style so i thought i'd just leave them to do their own thing for now.....i do love these flowers and they certainly love growing in our garden, popping up all over the place....

 ..............in front of the beehive composter which i have now emptied and begun again layering with weeds, veggie peelings, torn cardboard etc.....love how it does eventually turn to rich compost....am putting the previous compost onto the borders soon as a mulch....

 .............here are the side door roses in full bloom now............

 .............sweet little bright pink rosebuds that open to white scented roses.............

 ............another self seeded treat growing in the gravel path near the potting shed...feverfew....

 ...............the kiftsgate rose is rambling up over the arbour seat now..........

 ..............and here's a big bunch of sweet william and below a bucket of powder pink roses.....

 ..............just love june in the garden and the sunny days this past week have been beautiful ones for gardening and enjoying the flowers, birds, bees and other insects.......and newts in the pond, sunning themselves near the surface...........

............thank you for dropping by to my little crafty world dear readers....thank you for your sweet comments as well, always a pleasure to read........i hope you are keeping well and enjoying some sunny days, flowers, crafty times and other june delights too.....take care lovelies....back soon xxxxxxxxxx
