Bee happy ...... there's something fishy going on!

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!

Bee happy .... think summer thoughts

I wanted to show you some of my recent handy work.

After my holiday to Devon I was inspired to make some fish.  I even used real shells :)


These cute little fellows are now hanging in my summer house.


I have given the garden a little revamp.

I made new bunting for my lovely summer house and because I loved it so much I made more for the fencing at each side of the summer house.  I used brown twine to attach the flags to as I didn't have any ribbon long enough. 

The cream flags are actually old curtains I had.  I can hear some of you thinking about bunting shaped holes in a pair of curtains now which are still hanging at a window! Don't worry they were in my cut up box :)


I also painted the old fence the same colour blue as my summer house, the fence looks like it will last a bit longer now, it looked old and wobbly before.


Have you noticed my ickle friend sat on the fence while I was snapping away with the camera?


He followed me around the garden until I put a lard ball out for him!
