Our weekend was lovely. I took the weekend off from sewing to enjoy some quality time with hubby. We had a date - (book shopping and an early tea in Birmingham!) - on Saturday which was nice, I bought this book. We had trouble deciding whether to sit inside or out at the restaurant and decided on inside. A good decision really as 5 minutes after we sat down there was a massive downpour!

Sunday was a gorgeous sunny day so after I'd done the shopping we motored down the the 3 Counties show ground to have a mooch around the Malvern Spring Garden Show. Usually we go to Gardeners World Live at the NEC as it's the 3 miles away and the weekend after my birthday, I like to spend all my birthday money on pretty plants and useful garden gadgets, but we're busy this year so thought the Malvern Show would be a nice alternative. I didn't really buy much, J got a little acer which he is going to keep as a bonsai. There were some lovely plants but our garden needs a bit of work at the mo so thought we'd better leave it for now.

I'm back sewing this week. My top selling item in my Etsy Shop is this little tortuga brooch. I've sold 2 so far so making a few more to add. One today and another one later in the week. Over the weekend I've also sold a Tortoise ipod case so I've reached my 4 item target for this month. I can't believe how over-excited and obsessed I've got over my shop!!! No craft photos today but here are a few of our garden....and a little wooden duck orphan we rescued from Malvern - he now lives on our stairs window!
