bury my heart at wounded me

 Okay so that title is a little over dramatic
this injury is more like a scooby doo mystery.
I woke on tuesday with a terrible pain in my hand
and suprisingly enough, it is not related to sewing
because I spent the weekend in London.
I imagine its a back related thing
but anyway it's March
there's too much to be done for me to mope about another day.
 I have at last got my spuds chitting.
This year I'm trying Wilja and Maris Piper
as well as my favourite King Edward.
March also means it's time to bring out the magazines
because I'm in need of a change in the garden.
I really love this apple tree blossom with the tulips.
I'm hoping I can recreate it here in my own garden.
After much ado the arch has been reinstated
after the winter storms.
So you see I really need to crack on
before those buds spring open.
Off with the sling...
and out with the half moon.

*Debbie my diamonds are approx 6 x 4 inches across.

  2. Oh no! A sling and all! I hope that isn't your drinking arm 😛 oh Clare! If anyone can transform a garden into a thing of beauty it is you! Although I thought your garden looked mighty lovely already. Love, love, love that starry quilt!

  4. Carry on through soldier! I hope you are not in too much pain, my hubby gets nerve pain in his elbow emanating from his neck, it can be a mighty bit sore at times. But the possibilities in the garden will no doubt get you out there soon. Love the splashes of colour in the house.

  12. Ahh..wondered what had happened to you. Try and temper your enthusiasm and do a bit of gardening and then rest. It's easy to do yourself in gardening at the beginning of the year, even when you're not injured already! Hope you are right handed! Star looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing it with the flowery diamonds - but don't overdo it with that either!
