Bless my boyfriend he has finished most of the black fence varnishing and has stained the shed as a surprise when i came home from work. Taking a well earned rest with the woof....it is one man and his dog, oh and the orange ball!
Here is my Easter Bonnet for the club comp tomorrow, the yellow brim was a piece from a bouquet very kindly donated to me by the lovely Jo in our marketing department where i work. Will show a proper modelled photo hopefully later in the week....fingers crossed.
Michael has been painting the back fence, a great shade of Tudor Black Oak, and the pink camelia buds are really standing out beautifully against them.
I have tidied the garage today and thankfully more room for my flower supplies. I also got bargain of the day thanks to a tip off by my friend Linda....10 vases for 25p from Asda.
Anyway off to indulge before the diet starts, Oh and we water shrew in the garden.
I attended this afternoon with my friend Linda a workshop with Dean from Magnolia Florist in Rothwell. I made a bouquet and a button hole, here is my work.
Phew, busy day, went off to St Ives this morning to have my hair cut, love going to see the Adiva ladies they really cheer you up and I walk out feeling tons more glam than when i first walked through the door. Got stuck going up the A1 to Oundle to look at Foxtail Lily. After a quick shop in Morrisons, went and had a cuddle with little Konnor and a cuppa with his mummy Karen. He has grown so much since i last saw him soooo gorgeous. Anyway back home shattered, cooking chicken to go with our salad tonight and then looking forward to tomorrow. Doing church flowers (watch this space) and birthday lunch for my friend Linda after, then chinese at michaels mums.
My name is Amanda and I love all things flowers. Flowerscents is a new and exciting journey for you to join me on. I have recently started flower arranging which you can see on my website www.flowerscentsbyamanda.co.uk. I have just become a committee member for one of my local flower clubs and this year I will be taking things a little more seriously entering some competitions. I am also now working Saturdays with a local florist. Hope you will enjoy the journey. I live in Northamptonshire with my fab boyfriend Michael and my darling woof, surrounded by some fab friends and family, and being a Scorpio do have that protective sting where all of them are concerned. My indulgences are flowers, jewellery made by my friend, a good latte and mashed potatoes xx
