Car boot finds and garden.

I did have a tootle down to our local car boot and as predicted a few things just wanted to come home with me.I planted some static in a pot in the garden but not much became of them so I just had to buy 2 bunches 50p each is not to much, will hang in my kitchen and cheer me up on the dark days to come.

I'm afraid I just cannot leave a car boot without buying a book or two.

This one was 50p and the one above £1.

Two packets of beads for 50p which will come in usefull for decorations on my sewing.

I love this little basket and seen as I don't have a purple one I could not leave it where it was ,£5 I payed for it but  it is sweet.Im going to make a little patch work blanket for pussy cat Patchouli so I thought she might like to curl up in this basket with it.She does'nt go to sleep in a basket just curls up any where at the moment but as winter comes she may like this one.

This is my little crop of tomatos from my 3 plants,most of them are small diddy things but I did not want to leave them out any longer as they are not in a green house and I thought with the winds we are having they are getting battered a bit.I will leave them to rippen, if not may have to give them to my friend who is into making chutney at the moment or I could have a go myself.

My daughter bought us this rose tree for our silver wedding last year,these are the only flowers this year but are very pretty and smell fantastic.

These next pics are ones I have taken just to add to my album before the plants are finished for the year.It does'nt seem long ago that they where all sprouting up in the spring time,the year has certainly gone very quick I think.

My pathetic crop of static.

See the big foxglove in the middle,it has'nt flowered this year hope it does next.

This evening I have lit a few candles for all the people who lost thier lives in 9 11 ten years ago.God bless them all.

             Hope you have enjoyed my post,take care of yourselves.Love Jill xx

Weather.

     I didn't sleep to well last nigh( it seems to be quite a habit I have got into) first my brain just would not switch off then there was people outside the house talking very loud just as I was nodding off which  annoyed me and then I started thinking about the weather warnings we have had and wondering what I should do in the garden today just in case the BIG winds do appear.I  could not get to sleep at all after thoughts of my poor little garden getting battered and bruised and my pots at the front of the house getting over turned,yes my mind went into over drive and got a little carried away,I did eventually drop off for a couple of hours but have now been up and about since 530.I am just having half hour flicking through some of your lovely blogs then I am going to go and start sorting out the garden just in case.Its quite windy this morning but the sun is shinning for now,the sky is quite bright so I may get some washing out as well and I think I may have to just nip to the local car boot see if there is a little something just wanting me to bring it home and give it a nice place to live after all we are coming to the last few weeks of car booting now would be a shame to miss out.
    Well with all that to do I had better get a shift on and do it.Hope you are all having a lovely weekend and don't get to much bad weather.Take care love Jill xx

Bits of allsorts

I have done a bit of sewing this week,these are just a few of the hearts I made.

This small patchwork quilt I made about 12 yrs ago,it has been on the grandchildrens cot in my house.I hope it gets passed down to one of them one day.

I made myself this needle case this week.

This is a nightie case I have finished this week,I was going to give it as a present to a friends little girl but I have found some much better fabric for her so I am using this.

This quilt I made 5 or 6 yrs ago it didn't turn out how I wanted to but its still nice.

I have always wanted to be able to croquet but just cannot get the hang of it.My grandma showed me many times how to as she sat doing hers,this is a shawl she did for me when I was pregnant with my son,he was christened in it and also my daughter used it when her three boys where christened,think grandma would be proud.

This is a blanket grandma made me for my bed when I was a small child.

And this one she also did which I remember being on her bed.

Wish I could remember to turn pics round before I post them.My blanket on the back of my rocking chair which lives in my bedroom.

I bought this very pretty quilt in a charity shop 4yrs ago for £15,I'm sure it is king size as it drapes well down on our double bed,bargain me thinks.

It seems ages ago that I had flowers bought for me,(I'm sure its not just seems it) My husband bought me these a couple of days ago then my daughter bought me the ones below,I love fresh flowers in the house.

Now I have quite a lot of hearts in my house,ones I have bought, ones my friends have bought for me and ones Iv made here are just a few do hope you don't get bored.

This hangs in my sitting room window.

This little lady with her heart lives on top of the book case in the sitting room.

One that hangs on a light fitting.

Lives in the kitchen.

In the kitchen,I like the words on these two.

Kitchen window,shame the paint is coming off with the heat of the candle that goes inside.

Another kitchen window.

These are hung on draw handles.

These where a present.

This one a present from my daughter lives on the staircase.

These a present along with the others that are the same.

Tin one,lives in my bedroom.

Satin ones that smell lovely and  hang near my bed.

Just could not go without adding some recent pics of my favourite things,my grandsons.SCOTT.

LEWIS.

They are so alike in lots of ways and so differant in others but all very loving little boys.

BILLY.
