I can't decide which makes me happy today

A new lid for my recycled plastic pots box..It works a treat as potting table too. Or
My river of chive plants..they look welcoming g even when the sun isn't out.

Both fit in with my personal ethos of sustainability, repair and reuse.

Small repairs..
I've been arting and crafting, while completing Foundation year of art degree.

Ian has concentrated on small complex repairs..a wheel, vintage chair back and turned a couple of pawns.

We've been making some changes, which I'll update on in next couple of days.
Thank you to everyone who has visited so far and kept us company during the Winter.

Great to be part of the Late Shows Bensham Grove Community Centre .
Posies and poetry, inspired by being in the lovely library.

Love this hand embroidered table cloth, what a lovely way to commemorate being together.

Something different today, a day off, gardening and collecting dandelion flowers. I'm going to try some different blends this year. :-)
