Coffee in the Garden?

Hello Peeps

Yes, I am running behind again.

It has been an eventful few weeks. 

A few weeks ago now, my brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor; he was operated on and

is now in rehab getting better quickly.

My hubby has also  had several small medical procedures

There have been a few other things also - nothing major - but they take up time

and cause a bit of stress.

So, now there is free air!

BREATHE

I did finally get a card made for the first challenge at 

Unstampabelles for August

Challenge #92: Tea in the Garden 

TWIST Watercolour Wonders

I scrabbled through my stash and landed on this sheet of garden images, a companion background piece and some cork sentiment stickers and images.

The image looks as if it has been watercoloured in

- that was as close as I got this time to the TWIST

I die cut the image with an SU die square 

and the green card with another one of the dies from this set by SU.

I glued the image onto white card to back it and then added ink to the edges

It is mounted on dimensionals onto the green mount and that is mounted onto the background DP, 

which has also been inked in green ink.

My bulbs are all coming up atm and there is even a flower head here and there.

However, the lovely lot of flowers I had planted in the old wheelbarrow were treated as a buffet by the possums and so I had to remove them and replanted them into a tub on the carport.

This photo was taken before they were planted into the barrow. 

Polyanthus and pansies for some winter colour.

The possum particularly liked the pansy flowers!!!!

So then I purchased lots of succulents and planted them in the wheelbarrow instead!

Let's see the possoms eat those spiny, prickly things!

So far, so good. 

I have over a 100 bulbs in this garden as well as some rose bushes, some rock roses (hellebore) and some natives. The pittosporum tree takes all the water and goodness out if I am not careful. The light green is not weed - it is where I spilled a packed of Sweet Alice (Alyssum) seeds by accident. They were meant to be broadcast over the bed but they are just congregated on one place now. 

My workspace is just behind that curtained window.

When I take a break from crafting, 

I will be sitting on those steps in sunshine, 

drinking coffee and enjoying my garden in spring!

Enjoy your coffee time!
