Lately

Hello... I'm sorry to say I've not been about much lately, my health has caused me to lay low for a while. So this is a bit of a catch up post of the last few weeks

Lately .... There have been birthday flowers here at the Summerhouse, as my birthday was couple of weeks back

there were pretty birthday Roses to and lots of lovely gifts, including craft supplies and a couple of handmade presents so lovely.

Lately........ I've spent hours and hours, turning into days and weeks here.  The slightest activity wiping me out completely, I really need to listen to my body more when it's screaming at me to rest instead of thinking about all the things that need doing. I am trying to learn this.

Lately........ the roses have been flowering in posies in the Summerhouse garden

and the garden had quite run away on us but I'm trying not to worry about it, I did manage to sit in a garden chair and shake some wildflower mix onto the wildlife strip a couple of weeks ago. It's so important to try and look after the Bee and insects.

Lately there have been little bits of craft going on, not as much as I'd like, but it's nice to manage something.  I'm still making Poppies for the local library's WW1 memorial

One good thing is that lately the May Mornings have been marvellous out in the Summerhouse garden, and when I felt up to it on Thursday morning I went out and took these pictures, so much is going on out there we still have Polyanthus flowering but also Roses and Geraniums 

 

Lately I've been trying to play mandolin for ten minutes each day, trying to get my fingers and brain working again.

The Horse Chestnut by the Summerhouse is looking gorgeous in full flower lately

and I've been making a few easy to follow granny squares for my Spring time throw

and of course it would'nt be the Summerhouse without a crocheted flower.

Happy Crafting
