Hello friends!
Thank goodness for Friday! My word, I have had the most exhausting week at work, hanging 270 artworks in 2 buildings. I feel a bit rabid! My brain is frazzled and my muscles are sore from climbing up and down ladders and lifting heavy frames. It is all go work-wise until Sunday evening when I can finally relax and have 2 wonderful days off. I can't wait!
Instagram friends will have seen my Angel Face rose, one of the few left in the garden. It's such a pretty colour and I like it against the rough texture of the old fence, but just look at the blackspot!
Here's an update shot of my hyacinths, still growing in their vase. I was thinking they weren't going to be the blue they were packaged as, but I can see them colouring up now. Won't be too long before they're in bloom. I am most definitely growing more of these next year. I think they'd make a wonderful mantel display if planted in rustic tins - though the heat of the woodfire might get to them.
Well, Bits and bobs.... I really enjoyed it last Monday and loved seeing what you came up with. It was nice to see some pics on Instagram as well.
I had originally thought I might do it monthly, but I'm thinking now that fortnightly might be better, though having said that I think I will have another go on Monday coming. What do you think? I hope some of you can join in again and then maybe I will then go back to a fortnightly routine :)
Are you up for it?

How nice to have the beautiful angel face in flower, it is one of my favourite roses!
ReplyDeleteYour work sounds exhausting, enjoy your days off x
The rose is very pretty. I didn't notice the black spot until you pointed it out. I am hoping to join in bits and bobs again, it was fun.
ReplyDeleteThose hyacinths are gorgeous. Can't wait to see how they turn out. Tasmanian weather would be perfect bulb weather I think.
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo sarah am hoping to join bits + bobs......love the neon pink smooch have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your days off lisa xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very full on week at work indeed!! Your rose is very pretty. We've had an attack of black spot here too on our Double Delight roses :( I completely forgot about Bits and Bobs I'm so sorry!! Am off to see what others came up with and hopefully I'll be more organised next time :)
ReplyDelete270 artworks - my, that does sound like a big week Sarah. You certainly deserve a weekend of leisure and time to do the things you want to do.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you still have such a pretty rose. My first camellia appeared this week, and I can't wait to pick a bunch as more appear.
Enjoy your days off. Amanda x
Oh you have been a very busy girl! I will try and get my act together for Monday! xx

ReplyDeleteOh Sarah, that sounds like overdoing it at work, my friend. Hmm, not good. Now I'm adding 'Angel face' to my rose wishlist. I learn so much from you. Yep, give 'Bits and bobs' another outing. I will try to get organised, depending on how the Sickhouse is faring! J x
ReplyDeleteWell it certainly sounds like you deserve to enjoy a peaceful couple of days off Sarah because that must have been a lot of lifting. Actually you really do deserve a little treat..maybe a cute quilted handbag! :))
