Autumn Glory

I know one or two of you may be wondering what has this to do with autumn..... Acorns are plentiful and dropping and the beautiful leaves are changing colour which l have tried to achieve here. I spent a good few hours colouring and blending this with my neglected prisma pencils and have decided not to make a card with it but will look for a frame to put in the childrens room.

Continuing with my quest to get my christmas cards done early this year l went for this sweet polar bear stamp from LOTV, the gorgeous sentiment is from the new christmas release which l bought on pre release along with a few other PB's that just happened to fall in my basket from Crafts U Love, l can see lots of use from the set this year.

As l prepare this post l am looking out on the garden and it definately looks like autumn has arrived. The rowan tree is full of red berries and the leaves are turning the most beautiful golden /orange shades. I have managed to collect quite a few seed heads to store ready for next year. I have decided to grow more flowers for cutting in the veg garden next year and cut back on the veg. The onions have been a disaster again this year so will free up that space.

Last year l bought a plant from outside a garden, l saved some seed and had loads of plants this year. It is similar to the chinese lantern flower except this has green/lack lanterns from which a blue flower grows, they then dry to a beautiful lantern. It makes a good garden filler. I planted some at my daughter's school and they are looking splendid - perfect for the children to decorate at christmas when dried.

Apple of Peru & Shoo Fly plant
