Baby gifts and garden project

In around 6 weeks we will be welcoming a little baby girl into the family.  This meant I had the chance to make some cute baby gifts.

A hooded towel and a couple of baby bibs.  The machine embroidery designs are from Kreative Kiwi - Bathtime buddies.  I so enjoyed making these, fun to make something cute.

I also made a couple of  holders for the sewing room. One for my hoops and one for my rulers.

Again the design is a freebie from Kreative Kiwi.

I've started a fairly large landscaping project.  Had the team in last week and they'll be busy all this week and possibly into next week.  The main project is to update my patio.  The area is paved and over time they have buckled and sunk and it was looking very messy.  So the pavers are being relaid, putting in a garden by the fence, removing climbers from the trellis and replacing the trellis and painting the fence.  A L shaped garden bench is being made to order for by part of the trellis and the fence.

At the start of the work

 The pavers have been lifted. Roots from the climbers have gone all the way through the patio.  The men are having to remove all the roots.

 stuff to go under the pavers is delivered.

Climbers and trellis have been removed.

 

Pavers are being relaid

 New trellis has arrived

 Oh yes the gate has been taken off.  The latch needs to be fixed as it wouldn't close.

 New trellis put in place

Other trellis in place.  the fence has been stained, trellis still to be stained.

 This is where the garden bed will go, has a wooden border stained the same as the fence.
