Lo...You've got lots to smile about here Linda! Love the poncho ... pink & white are so bright and summery. Your beaded necklaces are so pretty. My daughter and I were on a big 'friendship bracelet' kick a couple of summers ago, and we loved making all different patterns. I still have a jar of them that I hand out to kids every so often when they visit. I like the tortoise family too, lucky you to have a free collection. I tried foxglove for the first time last year, but it didn't come back so I won't waste my money there again. Your foxglove look amazing though. Have a great week.

I love your tortoises-you take me back to when I was a girl. I had a tortoise called 'Lumpy'. he walked very fast and sadly one day walked off for good. I should have had one of these then he would have stayed put!

Your necklaces are lovely - I did see Elisabeth's bracelet the other day, so lovely! I didn't know that hawthorne came in any other colour but white, and such a lovely pink it is too! Your tortoises look so real - I really thought they were! Sounds like you've been having lovely sociable times with friends, and eating pavlova AND cake - and why not!<br />Have a happy week, but not too much cake! xoJoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-19527117801137064012014-06-15T20:21:17.777+01:002014-06-15T20:21:17.777+01:00Love those tortoises! :)The necklaces are beautifu...Love those tortoises! :)The necklaces are beautiful too.

Well done on identifying the bushes/trees, I am hopeless at such things. Here in Crete there are some beautiful flowering plants, all kinds, I don't know what they are but I do know they're pretty to look at.<br />Those tortoise ornaments are wonderful, no wonder the maker has so many orders. I did have a look at the link for the yarn, dip dye blue (out of stock atm) with pumice is my first choice. Seashells is pretty, but I am not a pink kind of gal lol. The actual pattern is okay, not for me perhaps, I would probably shorten it a bit. It does look straight forward to do though and I don't think you'll have to much of a problem working it. It will be a bigger (longer) project than your used to, but there's no hurry to finish it. <br />I like your attitude towards your garden, why fight nature when she does such a fine job on her own<br />Bye for now xxxLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280308724444847135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-30050080823344839652014-06-15T17:54:25.054+01:002014-06-15T17:54:25.054+01:00I thought those tortoises were REAL.

If I did, I might choose the grape colour. It wouldn't go with many things, but it's very pretty.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-26290973805384971422014-06-15T17:50:22.496+01:002014-06-15T17:50:22.496+01:00I love the look of the sweater pattern.

Some cheer for you that is well deserved. Your tortoises are lovely, it is so great that you have a whole family of them! I hope that you find something nice to buy with your winnings!! Oh, and I meant to say, well done for the plant identification, I never would have guessed hawthorn, it is nice to know though and it is a lovely plant isn't it! Hope that you have a great week. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-87058078775586720122014-06-15T13:40:07.137+01:002014-06-15T13:40:07.137+01:00Some lovely pictures there, Linda - and thanks for...Some lovely pictures there, Linda - and thanks for the heads-up about the necklaces.
