Little boxes

I finished off the set of boxes yesterday evening. I painted the insides a different colour and cut out more butterflies to go round the side of the boxes and a couple for inside each box. Quite an attractive little set now.


I went to the post box early again, not all these letters are from me, I take them for Tina quite often and this one as for Darren! On the way back I notices this amazing flower that has been hiding under the greater sea kale. The bud heads are unusual and the flower fabulous.
I did spend about an hour in the front garden this morning. Just weeding and removing as much bind weed as I could. This picture is slightly out of focus but one of the rockery plants is flowering, there are several other about to as well.
In the back garden the sea holly has now turned really blue, think it is one of my favourite plants.
This afternoon I went into the church with Tina again and stuck the ‘please sit here’ signs onto the pews with masking tape while Tina got some Jose done in the office. Then I had a mad moment and cleaned the top oven for a while!
Holby on tv tonight and more Talking Heads. Must admit I have only enjoyed one so far but all the reviews tell me they are brilliant. I am obviously a peasant!!

    The boxes are lovely. A lot of work has gone into those. Make a great pressie for someone. Perfect on a dressing table.
    I bet they appreciate having their own private postie. But it gives you a little walk in the morning and builds up your appetite for breakfast 😊
    An hour in the garden isn’t too bad, but don’t go overdoing it and messing your knee up more than it is already! I’m with you regarding the sea holly. I think it’s a great looking plant. I’m sure the insects all love it too.
    I wonder how quick the seats will fill up in the church? I’m sure people are chomping at the bit to get back in there.
    I can’t comment on the Talking Heads programs as I’ve only watched the first one so far. I don’t think you’re a peasant, and if you are then I don’t stand a chance of watching the rest 😊

    I think I may have another set of those boxes, although it may be incomplete as I got them for the decoupage class I held. Don’t think I would do the butterflies again though!
    An hour was about right and it wasn’t too heavy going work out there today.
    There are always bees on the sea holly so that makes it even more perfect.
