Just wanted to share a tip with you. My summer house doors used to blow in the wind when I left them open, not no more as I had a genius idea of filling some cute buckets with sand and using them as door stops.
They work a treat and no more trapped doggy noses!
I made this at uni and it has been boxed up ever since. I decide to put it in pride of place in my summer house so I can look at it.
The fish swim around in the waves with a greedy shark following close behind and while the fish are swimming the seagulls are also circling above in the sky.
The seahorse on the back is the handle which makes all of the cogs turn in side making the action happen up front!
Cute sign I found on holiday in Devon, had to have it :)
Made some more fish, I've put these in my Etsy shop or otherwise hubby says I'd have enough fish in my summer house to run and fish and chip shop ;)

Have a delicious day!
I love the fishy "mobile", fancy having it boxed up all this time! Bees Welcome is made just for you! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little ocean mobile!! Oh, I hope you don't get the kind of wind we have here in Kansas, or you will be cleaning up a lot of sand.

ReplyDeleteGreat tip for keeping the door open too!

I love your summerhouse and I would paint mine that same colour - if I had one, which I haven't. Nevermind, we haven't got much of a summer either at the moment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little bucket. I like the way the bottom of the heart can be the pouring spout of the bucket. Very lovely!
