Wedding


We had a great day for and at the wedding on Friday.
Billy,Janice,Alex and Callum

A very rare photo, I am sure the only one in existence. 7 out of 8 children in one place at one time, dressed and cleaned up beautifully!The Groom does spoil it a little by pulling a face though.

Alex and Lauryn were Groomsman and Bridesmaid
All the girls

Callum having forty winks to make sure he was up to speed for the day!
The wedding invitations were done by caricature artist Niall O loughlin, one was mounted and Alex was in charge of making sure all of the guests signed it.We all had caricatures done during the course of the night, some hilarious.
Billy & Janice enjoying the sunshine and strolling as man & wife.
We had a fabulous day and danced the night away until the wee hours to a DJ.

Photos of the Mallow garden festival tomorrow, it was on Friday,Saturday and today when I spent some time there, I must say the allotment garden was a big hit and was 'manned' by Zwena and a team on each day.

Congrats Peggy on a lovely family - what a great bunch of kids - and I am sure you must be very proud of them all - the caricature idea is great though you'd have to be brave and trust the artist! Lovely weather too.
Love Catherine xxx

Faux Stone Trough

Image
The word faux is a really nice word,somehow it does not seem to mean false, just a kind of copy! I had read about making these stone looking troughs or flower pots and again it was on my list of things to try.With my supply of donated flower pots I decided this was as good a time as any.The first pic is of the completed trough or tub filled with compost waiting on plants. I began with a plain white plastic tub, it does not have to be white it can be any colour.Glue ,I used PVA which was painted on thickly and left to get tacky and either sand or I used a mix of small stones and sand, sold in the builders suppliers as 'filling'. It is not a quick job to do as each side is pasted, shake on the sand thickly and press down to dry, I also did the opposite inside edge. I left it overnight each time but if it was sunny and warm it would probably dry faster.The first side drying, when it is dry shake off the excess leaving a thin covering. The final application and it is completed onl...

Tumbling Pots

Image
I have seen these tumbling pots in magazines and blogs from time to time, the latest being in KeeWees garden , having got a number of terracotta pots from one of my daughters who was clearing out her shed I decided to give it a go!They look stunning when the flowers have settled in, I had toyed with the idea of putting in strawberry plants which would also look great but having grandchildren around I don't think I would have a lot of strawberries from it! You need terracotta pots with one central drainage hole and in different sizes. First I had to go to B&Q to get the metal rod to support the pots, I also got the pansies there. Place the pot where you intend to leave it permanently as it cannot be moved easily once completed.Place the rod through the drainage hole and fill the pot with compost, it is easier to fill each pot as you go and firm down well. Slide the second pot onto the rod through the hole, this one will rest partly on the compost as well.Slide the remainder of t...

Instacrafting/ crafters and DIY

Image
I set up an Instagram account a few  years ago and promptly forgot about it until some months ago and began browsing and got hooked enough to start posting, mainly about gardening.  I noticed some DIY crafting posts and began following them as I had always knit/sewed/made and done etc as many of my generation did because we had to , to look after a family and make ends meet. It was immediately very clear this new generation of crafters enjoyed the creativity and colour in each DIY project they did My monks bench was vintage white with a pale grey stencil, after looking at the colour and style of Joanne Mooney whose blog and instagram  account A PROUD HOME has won followers and awards I stepped outside my comfort zone and went for Petrol in Colortrend paint and some mad colours in cushions  of the plain greys I had originally intended!                                    ...
