Handprint Animals: A Complete Alphabet A-Z
Well, it has been a fun 26 weeks! I cannot believe that we embarked on a Handprint Alphabet over 26 weeks ago (that is 6 months ago?! Wow). And what an alphabet journey it has been! We started off with an innocent A for Alien.. then a B for Bee.. and suddenly we were on [...]
Today we are looking at being “Creative with Flowers” – I decided to do our very first “How To Press Flowers” session with the children.

I will expect to see a follow-up shot in several months…full of strawberries. And then a follow-up shot of the finished product…a gorgeous Strawberry Pavlova!

Karin – you will “only” get that Pavlova pic, if Red Ted doesn’t insist on eating all the strawberries straight away… what is the chance of that!?!?!??! Will also be giving some these plants away! Don’t want to be (too) greedy!
Good stuff. Great to eat the fruits of your labours, isn’t it?

What a Valuable V!
Great shot! I’ve planted strawberry seeds this week, not expecting anything this year but I have high hopes for next summer!
Can you be classed as green fingered if you are an expert at weeds and craft with green finger paint? Just wondered….?
Love fresh strawberries and cream, simple and just lovely!
Ohh- I need to order some new strawberry plants. You’ve just reminded me!
beautiful photo! we have a little strawberry patch ourselves that needs some tending but will have to wait until the rain stops:)
Oooh yummy strawberries x
Oh fantastic news!! We started off with about 6 strawberry plants 4 years ago and I have now lost count of how many we have – I made over 20 pots of jam last year and we still had enough strawberries for several desserts! :O) Enjoy!x
Yes! These started off as a set of 6 too! I have more in the back garden, that I haven’t counted yet!!! Will be giving more away this year again!
I wish I could grow strawberries and raspberries . Good luck with it !
Oh boy! Strawberry pie, Strawberry shortcake, Strawberry N cream mmmm the list goes on!
I can imagine all the possibilities…
Strawberry shortcake, jam, ice cream, salad, yummmmmm……
That’s a good return for all that work.
It will be wonderful to have strawberries! The plants look wonderful!
Hey, vigorous growth is always a good thing!
