Rocking chair and a patchwork quilt birthday card.

I just love these two stamp sets

from

Our Daily Bread Designs

The sets I have used are

Sew Special (rocking chair)

and

Sewn with Love sentiment

I used a 3D Punch and Emboss flower design

and

topped each with a colourful button.

A Fiskars border punch at top of card.

A white seam binding tape double bow

and

a

pretty brown and white checked brad.

I coloured the rocking chair with my trusty Aquarella pencils

and then

painted with my water brush.

I had a lot of fun making this card for my friend's birthday.

I never know quite how they are going to turn out, these cards seem to tell me what to do half the time....tweaking until it's just right.

Such fun.

On another note and in the spirit of sharing amongst fellow bloggers

I would like to introduce you to a delightful blog

I discovered a few weeks ago.

Sandie at Steadman's Corner has a great blog.

Sandie loves GOD, junking and antiquing.

She is a wife and mother.

I love her opening photo, that's what initially got me interested.

I wanted to see more of her treasures and finds.

Please visit

Steadman's Corner

You won't regret it.

Our scottish terrier, Liza, would like to show you around our garden.

Goldfish pot with wire lid,

To all you cats & birds, sorry...

NOT!

Hoping to replace these crooked

stepping pavers soon,

they were here when we bought

the house 2 yrs ago

Bought these Australian Magpie garden ornaments in Canberra a couple of years ago, they are made from pre-loved corrugated iron..I just love them & when we 1st got them our dog actually thought they were real...
funny story!

Our outdoor area,

Aussie rustic style.

Bench style seat made by DH

a couple of weeks ago.

We got this timber from the end

of the street where a neighbour

had dismantled an old cattle loading ramp.

Bird Cage with ornamental bird

I could never cage a bird, even feel guilty about this fake one being caged.

Hope you have enjoyed the tour

of our spring garden.

It's a lovely time of year.

Still cool days and cold nights

but all around

the plants are blooming.

We take full advantage of this type of weather because soon the long days will be hot & rapidly becoming hotter....

YUK!

So for now it's goodbye from us

and our scotty,

Liza.

The fruit of the spirit is in all goodness.
