What does £36 get you....?

  

Card first ... Jo very kindly stamped this little PI girl for me a while back ... coloured her with copics and had another go at colouring black hair.  I had a little robin watching me do some gardening earlier, so I coloured my little birdie in his honour!  Added flowersoft for the grass.  I've had this lacey ribbon in my stash for years and never seem to use it, but its sooo pretty I think I'll be using it again.  Pink stickles as wee accents and I just touched her eyes with black enamel accents for a bit of definition.

• Sketch is a free choice from Sketch n Stash #60  - I chose No.20 and flipped it.
• Cupcake Craft #139 - add some 'fluff'
• The Crafty Pad #118 - circles
• Make it Colourful #15 - colour black hair

Right, so what does £36 get you? ...... 4 plants and a pack of seeds! We had half a notion of going to the seaside today, but it was a bit overcast and chilly this morning .. so we went to the garden centre instead!  (I think you hit a certain age  when the garden centre is a treat and not a chore!!)  So when we got home the sun came out and its been a glorious afternoon!  Got most of my purchases planted up, grass cut and fertilized, some lettuce and cosmos seeds planted, seedlings transferred and pot plants re-potted.   Phew!!!  I need a long soak in a hot bath now!

Here's a wee close up of the new Dahlia we bought, isn't it sooooo pretty!
