may 30th 2015 - Strawberry flowers
I noticed that my strawberry plants have small white flowers on them. I recall my Nan saying that its the flowers that turn into strawberries but I wasn't sure as never grown them before. So I hit the internet for advice and yes the flowers are what turn into strawberries.
Lil man is very pleased as last year when we bought the plants we didnt get any strawberries off them, but upon counting the flowers today we have 16 flowers at the moment. Hopefully we will get some nice strawberries in a few weeks and more flowers come up over summer!

March 1st 2015 - Happy St Davids day
March 1st 2015 - Happy St Davids day
Today is St Davids day for Wales. I have a few friends who are Welsh, live in Wales currently or used to live in Wales.
I had hoped that my Daffoldils in the garden would be in bloom for today so that I could bring them in but this is what they look like:
These ones were not any that I had planted but some that came up after we cleared all the garden of weeds of rubbish. I also have about 6 stems that have come up inside the compost bin, again where we just cleared the garden and they have pushed through. Once the garden is properly sorted I do plan on planting some more Daffodils - I think in pots in the front near my bench would look nice.
I will buy some bulbs when I go shopping, even though they probably wont grown until next year.
I have also successfully compleated 2months of the pin a day challenge, i'm really pleased as wasnt sure if I could do it.

January 23rd 2015 - Happy 40th Birthday
January 23rd 2015 - Happy 40th Birthday
Today is my sisters 40th Birthday. Sadly we can't be with her as she lives 5.5hrs drive down south from where we live. We had planned to go down tonight when we picked the kids up from school for the weekend but I'm on a course tomorrow with St John Ambulance so we can't go.
When we saw her the other weekend we left her birthday present there, but as its a special birthday I ordered her a bunch of flowers from eflorist.com, they were like these:
I ordered and paid for them online and selected delivery for today, it all went through really easily, and when I messaged my sister at 09:15am today to wish her a happy birthday they had just been delivered (very impressed as I thought would be later in day). She said they are absolutley lovely.
Well she did't get away with her 40th with just a bottle of perfume and a bunch of flowers - oh no! I posted these bits alos found on pinterest on her facebook as well: 40 and days old.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS, HAVE A GREAT DAY. xxxx

January 16th 2015 - Plastic Bottle flower vase
January 16th 2015 - Plastic Bottle flower vase
I saw this tutorial on pinterest of how to make a flower vase from a plastic bottle it didn't look that hard but looked really effective. Now I don't get flowers very often as Hubby doesn't me them, so this was 1 of those pins that would probably sit forever on my board.
That was until the neighbour came round with a bunch of tulips for me as an appology for not removing her food from my freezer (had bits since christmas as she had no room). Its not a problem and its not in my way. Well the tulips spent 2 nights in a jug until I found this pin.
Here's the pics:
It's worked of sorts. Mine hasn't got as big a frill/lip/rim as the 1 in tutorial and it doesn't lay flat like tutorial. Plus some of the strips that you weave have already popped back out. So not sure if my stipe were long enough or what but I can say I tried and it didn't work brilliantly!!!
