Good Morning my Lovlies...
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend....
The weather here in my little corner of Cornwall, has still been a mixed a bag,
but have still been able to do a lot of outside activities....
for me most of the weekend has been riding my two horses....
which has been thoroughly enjoyable, and yesterday myself and hubby spent all of the afternoon in to early evening in the garden....  Thursday afternoon hubby went to B&Q and purchased a
wood shredder, a large compost maker and a some stones......
we have a piece of garden that is really no good for anything... so we decided
to put some stones down....and make a feature of it..... so when I returned from the stables, hubby was already in the garden putting together his new toy.....
I left him to it and cut and strimmed the grass..... hubby still putting new toy together.....
finally...shredder ready to go...plugged it in and hubby instantly jammed it.... so after a few minutes it was shredding the old trees that we have cut down over the weeks.... hubby looked so happy with his new toy.... in the meantime the compost maker had been put in it's rightful place and we started to fill it with grass cuttings and shredded wood...I even brought home some horse manure for it, 
we then got started on the feature.... and run out of stones....so it was another trip to B&Q to get more, I also put four rose bushes on the trolley and four tubs for rose bushes to go in....
returned home to finish the feature.... dogs were not being at all helpful, thought they were at the beach and were running around and rolling in said stones...after a while we finally got it sort of how we want it.... just a bit of tinkering and some solar lights and think we have finished...
my greenhouse is looking rather cool, my seeds that I planted two weeks ago are well on there way...  this is the first time I have ever grown any salad or veg, so it is a learning curve for me at the mo... hubby is also busy clearing a large piece of the garden for a veg patch so fingers crossed
next year we are hopefully going to be self sufficient as regards veg and salad,
 and all will be organic..... 
 tonight I am back in to work after a glorious weeks holiday,
 So will Speak again soon God Willing...

I Made this card for a Friend who Loves Beatrix Potter



These are some pics I took of the nearly completed feature

Good Afternoon My Lovelies....
Well I hope you are all well.....
Have you all enjoyed the Sunshine we have had....Today in my little corner of
Cornwall is a mixed bag......but still very warm.....
we have had a few heavy downpours of rain...but you could practically hear my garden groaning
with delight..... things were starting to look a bit arid!!!! 
Well I have been on Annual Leave from work this week, and a glorious one I have had.....
at the beginning of the week I acquired another horse......
her name is Beauty and she is a 17 hands Irish Draught, jet Black, she is amazing...but huge,
as my regular viewers will now, I already have a horse called Ace of Spades who is also Black,
I did have a beautiful shire horse called Dazzle but I sadly lost her nearly two years ago...
and my heart still hurts...
So this week for me has been busy riding, but horses are my passion...
since I was a little girl, playing cowboy's and Indians in the garden with my Grandad, we used the push along lawnmower, as our stagecoach....Grandad used to lay out brooms and rakes on the floor,
as a make believe jumping arena and I used to jump over them pretending 
I was on Horse Back ...such happy memories....
but know I do not have to pretend, I have two beautiful horses and a very supportive husband..
I am a very lucky lady....my other passion as you are all aware is crafting.... when I have
the time...this week I have only done behind the scenes craft projects.
But today I have managed to join in with the fun over at 
Tonight I am off out with my daughters and a couple of friends from work, for a Birthday drink, as it is my
Birthday Saturday...
The theme for the challenge is inspired by your favourite book,
bet you can't guess what mine is !!!!!!

Poetry......

Good Morning My Lovlies...
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend...
It has been a gorgeous one here in my little corner of Cornwall...
 and long may it last...... well for a lot of us it is back in to work tomorrow....
Oh to be able to work doing a job that you love.....
For me it would be a little craft shop, with a workshop out the back,
were I could hold classes..... we all have our own unique way of
expressing ourselves, either through crafting, painting, music and even poetry....
for me it is the crafting side...to watch a design come together is bliss... 
although I have made many a mistake over the years.... for my
Husband Brian it is music and poetry.... he loves to write his own music...
although he has not done much lately which is a shame...it's the time
factor, there are just not enough hours in the day.....
Brian does not believe in Cards, I have never had a card from him in the
17 years we have been together..... Yes I know what you all must be thinking,
what a miserable sod.... but far from it..... I get a poem..... the words are mine, and not somebody else's written words... is what Brian tell's me....
and I suppose he is right.... how many times have we picked a card, 
with a gorgeous image, only to find the words inside are well, what can I say...
not so good, so, when I design a card now, I leave the inside blank...
then you can add your OWN words and feelings....below is
a poem Brian wrote for me for one of my Birthday's.....
he has even added some humour.... but it is me, he has captured me,
in his words, something you would never be able to buy in a shop....
Bilbo and Keeler were our two dog's that we have since sadly lost....

Super Sunny Saturday.......

Good Afternoon My Lovlies...
I hope you are all enjoying this Sunshine......
How long have we got it does anybody know.....
Well I have had a really lazy couple of day's...... apart from riding, have done diddly squat...
popped in to see my lovely Mum this morning, had a coffee and a chat..
Then returned home to be greeted by my rabble, must make a note to ones self to wear a long sleeved top when I enter my front door, only they go crazy, and I end up being scratched
on the arms..... Sooo, did a few chores then sat in the garden to eat my lunch,
and that's it... that is the extent of my activity today,
and tomorrow who know's......
I haven't even done any crafting, I think my mojo is in the same frame of mind as me
 and gone awol....  not good.... but I am sure it won't last long !!!!!! I have put
it down to the weather, so anyhoo that's it from me... and if you see Mr Mojo on
your travels, send him back to me please....

Digitally Sweet Challenge # 92 Holiday.......

Good Afternoon My Lovelies...
I hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous weather we are having at the mo...
It is SOooooo hot.....
I finished my night shift yesterday morning, went up the yard rode my horse, then came 
home had a shower... and as luck had it, I covered myself in sun tan lotion,
made a coffee and went and sat in the sun lounger out in the garden,
I was only going to sit and drink my coffee, next thing I know I fell asleep......not
sure for how long.... but I am so glad I put on lotion......
and today I think is hotter than yesterday.....rode my horse early
this morning to avoid the heat.... although he did come back very sweaty,
so I sponged loads of cold water over him to cool him of, I think because
he is black he attracts the heat......apart from working and riding and doing
behind the scenes blog work...have not done much...
however I have managed to squeeze in some time to enter the challenge
 the theme this week is Holidays....

Good Afternoon My Lovlies.....
Just grabbing a quick 5mins before I am dragged out in to the garden .....
Hubby and myself are hoping to finish of the greenhouse today....
the weather seem's to be holding out at the mo....
I have had a busy weekend this week.... went to my Hubbies shop on Friday,
in the hopes of trying to help him sort it out...he has a professional photographer coming on Tuesday,to take some photo's to go on Google..... well I nearly had to be bailed out of the police station, due to me murdering him......he tells me to do what I want with the display's then when I do it he say's no not like that ARGHH.... so after three hours I left an alive Hubby and returned home.... and yesterday I went out for a couple of drink's with some friends from work,
and yes it was lunchtime.....what is becoming of me.....
 lunchtime drinking I ask you !!!!! and of course in between all of this, I have been riding, sorting my E-Bay shop out..... and my Three Challenge Blogs that I own....
So it will be nice to go out in the Garden and relax ????
But I have however manage to join in with the challenge over at 
and the theme this week is Girls.......

DSC # 90 Friendship 2nd Entry

Good Morning My lovlies....
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend....
The weather here in my little corner of Cornwall left a lot to be desired...
not what you could call sunbathing weather....
I had a relatively quite one, up the yard as per usual...
did a few chores around the house, it was hubbies Birthday yesterday....
can you believe he is 21 again !!!!!
so we celebrated, by spending the afternoon in the garden
 putting the sides on the greenhouse... got a great shot of hubby falling over,
yes I know it does seem cruel to laugh ( he he he )...... but Brian was Ok, 
and as luck had I had my camera handy ......
Apart from that, it was quite a relaxed weekend, did however
manage to join in with the fun again over at
