Fun Monday # 20 something

Our gracious host for this week's Fun Monday is Karisma. Our assignment is this:

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.

  1. 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!

  10. 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.

  12. What 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.
    Hugs and blessings,

  19. I 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.

    Thank you himself, for being a good sport.
