A Getting Close To Nature Collection

Exciting new green bits on my ficus bonsai- I thought I had killed it and stashed it in the laundry. Imagine my delight when I saw all that new growth. Imagine my lack of delight when I spied the basket full of dirty washing.

Driftwood collected on a recent beach walk. I managed to find a beach even closer to home which is very exciting. It is also only 5 minutes from my work, so I may be able to plan some regular walks.

I am planning to make  some sort of woven wall hanging with the driftwood. It is all over blog-land, Etsy and Pinterest at the moment so it must be on trend. I did actually enjoy weaving in my younger days, so I am excited to have a go at it again. There is a great little tutorial on the Etsy blog to get you started, and a project in issue 35 of Mollie Makes magazine too.

I have a growing love of indoor plants and I could not resist this specimen at the supermarket late last night. If you were wondering why I was shopping so late, I had a 9.40 pm Dr's appointment, and was planning to make best use of my time and travels. On arriving at the doctors I discovered that my appointment had actually been booked for 9.40 am. Oh well, wonder no more.

A gifted glass bowl(thanks Mum and Dad) that I am very excited about making into a terrarium. I have been researching and pinning and can hardly wait to get started. 

A beautiful part of the Country to spend a delightful afternoon.

Perhaps I should have titled this an Excited Collection, as I did use that word rather frequently in this post!
