Garden
Regular readers will realise that there has been something of a focus on gardening, growing, polytunnels and stuff on this blog over the last few months … in fact some might say there has been a general focus on grown stuff, given that I have decided to launch a new site focusing purely on this [...]

The final part of the poly-tunnel infrastructure, if you’ll forgive the parlance, has been to install some raised beds … an expense I hadn’t truly accounted for, or indeed, appreciated. Once I’d measured it out I realised I required 63m of wood, not a quantity I was going to fit in the back of my [...]
We finally finished the poly-tunnel over the weekend (do you remember when I started this … in June!), during a brief and unexpected break in the weather. If I’m being honest I don’t mind telling you that I was beginning to give-up any hope of getting a calm-enough-warm-enough day to actual get the cover on [...]
In the last 4 weeks we’ve had both of our booked craft fairs whipped out from under our feet, due to no fault of our own I hasten to add. The first thanks to the council library failing to sort out the right licence from, well, the council; the second being cancelled for who knows [...]

Progress on the poly-tunnel is slow, although there is at least progress with the door-frames having been erected since my last update, leaving only the base-rail to attach, the [...]
I mentioned previously that I’ve been busy putting together the poly-tunnel (amongst other things) hence the dearth of actual crafts of late, although I think the tunnel may actually qualify under the auspices that it is ‘Stuff’ what has been ‘Made’!? Failing that Jolene has been working on a couple of bits n’ bobs that [...]
I’ve just browsed through the last page worth of posts that we’ve made on here and can’t help noticing that the amount of MadeStuff has somewhat tailed off of late, indeed, I currently have NO crafting projects under-way at the minute. I’ve been too busy cutting the grass … What I do have on the [...]
I think I may be becoming a fanatic, well, maybe not quite; although I did find myself outside in the rain this morning pulling weeds and re-arranging pots!? The garden really has quite a lure to me, being confined to quarters over the winter and suffering a wee bit with cabin fever really makes you [...]
