I MADE IT MYSELF! I think the title pretty much says it all, but for those of you who may still be wondering, I would like to see or hear about things you have made with your own two hands (or feet, Im not fussy!) We all have different talents and abilities, maybe you like to sew or knit, chisel or sculpt, draw or paint? Whatever your talent is, please share it with us this week.
OK, as I mentioned yesterday, I was going to make something to share with you today. I do make a mean fruit scone. But we had a powercut and by the time the power came back on it was way to late to start baking. I'm not very good at making things you see. I've tried and failed at so many things that I don't even try now. I am just not very arty farty crafty.
So a bit of judicious rule breaking is going to happen.
Himself you see, is very good at making things.
He made this for me. It's a Welsh dragon carved from bone
And he built this - which was nothing more than a bank of earth before (although I did the planting!)
He paints too. This is my favourite. It looks simple but it's just perfect.
See? He's clever like that.
Mind you, there is one thing I'm good at making though. A mess. I could not be tidy if I tried, and I do try, often, but my desk still ends up looking like a bomb's dropped on it.
Himself is very VERY talented. Wow!! But I know how much hard work it takes to plant shrubs and flowers and then tend to them, so I am going to say you're talented as well :o) Great Fun Monday post!
ReplyDeleteHe is very talented - I've got one of those too! And I'm also very good at messes - we have things in common you could say!
ReplyDeleteWow, good job Himself. Isn't it nice to have a talented man about the place!
ReplyDeleteAnd the border around the house looks lovely (with very expert planting :) )
The flower garden is beautiful around the house.
ReplyDeleteThe Welsh Dragon is beautiful 'himself' has talent. The garden area is very creative I love it.
ReplyDeleteHe most certainly is clever! I LOVE that dragon! Wow Wow Wow! Your garden is gorgeous as well. Thank you for joining in!
ReplyDeleteOh this takes my breath away!!! A dragon carving...and from bone no less! Wow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fun Monday.
Himself is full of talents! But you did a great job planting stuff too.
ReplyDeleteOh, your dragon is WONDERFUL!!! Himself could make some dough doing that kind of thing!
ReplyDeleteMy Darling Man is also a very talented artsy-guy. He makes it look so easy...
Oh my goodness is that garden wall/raised bed new this year? It is just perfect. I remember, I think, that you all were doing some garden re-working earlier this year. If this is an example of what you're accomplishing, I'm so impressed.
ReplyDeleteI think making a nice mess is a very crafty thing to do too. Would have liked to see a picture of it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Welsh dragon carving … and the planter, stone walk way, and painting each are gorgeous too. I’d say he’s ‘a keeper’ for sure ;--) I grow things like you do and I make wonderful ‘messes’ too. My Fun Monday is at Small Reflections.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Blimey, himself is a but special isn't he? And I am also very talented in the mess making area. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThat dragon and garden wall are impressive. You have a very handy Mr. there!
ReplyDeleteWow, very talented indeed. Diverse too! I absolutely love the garden wall!
ReplyDeleteOh, and glad you enjoyed your recharging weekend! Always good to have.
ReplyDeleteLove the dragon, what a beautifull piece. He's very talented.
ReplyDeleteThe dragon is fantastic. My husband is the craftsman/artist in our marriage.
ReplyDeleteI considered highlighting the beautiful landscaping done by my hubby. BUT, I had too much to do before hopping in my car and heading south west to my daughters.
ReplyDeleteThank you himself, for being a good sport.
I can make a mean mess also!!! Himself is very talented, I love the Welsh dragon!!
