Yay! Really excited for this challenge, I do need to get out in my garden more.
I have just spotted this linky on G+, it all sounds very exciting, I shall link up once my craft is finished 🙂
Hooray! Welcome on board!
A great linky, gardening and crafts are two of my favourite things, so to combine them is brilliant 🙂
I love this linky idea. I am in gardening mode right now and can’t wait to involve our little ones in the fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
Such a great challenge! It makes me miss having a garden even more :-/
Awww so sorry to hear that!! Have you got a window box? Or could you be persuaded to have a go at a Terrarium or similar?
I’m not sure quite how crafty mine is but I have done my best! I do prefer crafts when I get to hit stuff with a hammer anyway 😉
Fantastic projects! Thank you so much for including our Natural Loom!
Thanks so much for featuring our music man Maggy! We loved taking part in this challenge – can’t wait for the next one 😀
