LITTLE GREEN FINGERS!

The twins, Violet and Sapphire have been waiting patiently to show you their little Orchid, which due to their careful gardening is again flowering.

The twins have carried the Orchid outside to the patio table so you can see more clearly.

" Such a pretty flower !" says Sapphire touching the petals

"And a beautiful deep pink! " replies Violet stroking a leaf " It looks nice and healthy "

 " And there are five flowers! More than ever before! " Sapphire says happily
"and another little bud!" agrees Violet

"We hope you like our Orchid " chime the girls together before giggling..

They get me to take a couple of Photo's just of their Orchid , so that they can add them to their gardening journals!

A close up, that they can study!

And a last photo of two proud little girls showing their pride and joy.

"We also have to say thank you to Rosie , Lora and Lonely who sent us a tiny Bird of  Paradise plant that they had brought all the way from Spain for us but whatever we tried it would not grow and began to look poorly!" says Sapphire
" Yes and whatever we did it just looked worse until it just gave up!" sighs Violet " But we thank you for sending it to us so we could try " Violet whispers " Even dad's one's not flowered yet !"
"Yes" whispers Sapphire  " Loads of leaves but no buds !"
"We hope you are all having a lovely summer in your gardens, see you all again soon!" " Bye!! "

SUNDAY CATCH UP

Well not an awful lots happened Sasha wise this week but a few things have arrived and a few things have moved on.

I have worked all week plus Saturday ,due to other staff being on holiday , so have not had my usual day in the week to play Sasha and take photo's , so although I have another five and a half days coming up, I will try to get one of the story lines in my head onto the blog.

I have to say that I have had a lovely week, the weathers been good mostly, apart from some rain on Thursday and Friday. I received a wonderful gift from someone, which was totally unexpected and extremely generous of them. Unfortunately It's not something I can share here other than to say that I told them that when I had the opportunity I would pass the kindness forward.

I have also had cause to have such a good laugh this week which is good for the soul and wonderful for the spirit ! It's always amazes me what people can come up with.

I have managed to sort through three bags that I have just thrown things in when needing to move them from one place to another but then I leave it all in the bag !
So I sort three of them out.

The box in the corner will be in another post later this week.

The first bag I emptied was the bag from the 2012 festival which I had added things too over the last year, this is what was in side.

My programme from the Festival and my number, I'm not saying I was eager but I was number THREE!! :)
and this booklet will come in handy later for reasons to be shown in a later post! Yes another one!

The other items in this first bag included clothes from one of my Kids n Cats dolls, some toys and a bucket and spade and a few other items.

The second bag was full of Christmas items.

Sorting through this one I found a few things I can move on and sell and a few things to put away labelled up.

and the third bag contained yet more clothes and other items.

This bag had a few items I will sell on and others that needed to be sorted away into the correct place.
It's made me realise I will need to buy a few smaller plastic boxes with lids to label up and keep things in for the Studio.

Hattie kindly tried on this set I am going to sell with the little teddy but not the Rosie Bloom shoes!

and this set which I love but never use , the hat frames their faces so well.

And on Saturday Lindsey came back from France full of health , happiness and fired with the desire to get on with her art.
She very kindly said I could show you two of her piece's of work that she did while on her course.

A nude study in pencil.

A part painted nude in oil.

I am  not surprised by the quality of her work as she's been an Artist since she was capable of picking up something to draw with, but it is lovely to see her again creating. She tells me it will take many years of work to achieve a high standard and I know she is up to the challenge.



Well I have a couple of posts in the pipeline a sneaky peek below.

Thanks for dropping by, have a lovely week .
