the fields at the side and behind us are being left for the summer for hay for the winter and at the moment they are full ... FULL of buttercups and so pretty to walk in ... they do make me sneeze though :(
its very hard to take a photo of dilly when we are out on a walk as she does not stop ... so they are all blurred action shots!
Mossy will pose though :)
all around near us are ancient castles ... this one I can see from my kitchen window when washing up :)

I have been a bit absent from blogging recently as I have been working on a load of new designs and getting my wholesale folders ready. This is quite a time consuming job and I think I am mostly there now ... there are still lots of designs I have in mind and some sections of the folders still to do, but the basics are done and ready ... at last!
I have been using my clippy bag and folder for orders and some samples but the big design folders don't fit at all!
I used to take around 2 or 3 big bags for these folders, but I always felt a bit incumbered and like a school girl who had been lumbered with everyones bag!
So I have made myself a bag ... a pretty big bag! but it fits them in and is amazingly quite comfy to carry as its all padded :)
I decided I wanted to keep with the patchwork theme of my clippy bag and folder and have included some of my designs included in it! including the patchwork flower which is part of my little owl logo :)
just need to finish the last minute bits and get out there again! wish me luck! x

May has flown by and I have been so behind on my blogging and there is so much that I have wanted to blog ... oh well, I guess living is better than blogging!
I have been enjoying spent time (when its not been raining)in my 'new' little green house that Steve bought me :) I do want to get a glass one eventually thats bigger, but as this is only in a temporary till we sort out the back corner, it's perfect for now :)
we have made a raised bed for the beans in the old bath ... I love it!!
I have planted herbs, which I am planning on planting in an old tin bath that Steve's dad gave me and Steve has 'bashed' holes in the bottom ... it will be a herb garden that I can move when we have sorted out the garden more :)
and I have been growing sweet corn and peas ... oh the excitement when they poked through ;) haha
the hanging baskets are up ... we have 5 all along the front of the cabin and they look really lovely ... why have I not got a photo yet?? note to self ... take photo!
we have also made another bed and the tomatos are planted in it, although Timber did decide that digging one up was a good idea last week when we went out .. cheeky boy!
and we have window baskets below the living room windows ... oh it is all too cute! haha
what else have I been up to? well we have at last, after changing our plans every few weeks, set a date and booked a place and have made the invites ... just need to finish writing them!
we have also become a brewery! last night we bottled the big barrel of pear cider thats been sitting behind the sofa, and now we have to wait 3 weeks to try it :)
and the doggies ... well Dilly-dog has enjoyed seeing some of her favourite people in the whole world and despite being called 'ridiculous' by Bex because she has gone a 'little' fluffy since being spayed, she is missing them, especially cuddles with her gorgeous Kara x
... I miss them too, despite being told my dog is 'ridiculous' ;) haha
and Timber is happy just eating the postman!
so whats on for June?
well I have spent hours and hours getting new designs done and my folders ready to take round the shops again, so finishing them would be good and having fun with my mum making wedding things, picking up my wedding ring from Aberaeron, finishing the hall way (I have worked on it a bit this month, but not quite finished it) ... and planting out my seedlings too I hope :D

Hello
I am an English girl married to a lovely Welsh man with a couple of little wild boys. We live in a cosy log cabin high up in the Welsh hills with or gentle wolf, crazy puppy and a wild cat that lives in the wood pile!
I love all crafts, reading, dreaming, selling pretty things and cups of tea. I am trying to live a more healthy, holistic and green life.
