New umbrella and spring flowers




This is my latest umbrella i made and it is sold. In the coming weeks i will be making several more and some other designs which i will share. I wish i could make this my full time job, im juggling this contract work for another company{which pays weekly} and kids etc etc... Ahhh the joys of life.







I love these colour combo"s at the moment. I have been making alot of white cushions curtains etc but i still find myself drawn to the good old girlie pink.




These are some pictures of my garden in flower at the moment. I love this time of the year the birth of my garden, watching each new bud burst into life, It make me feel alive. My garden is only 5 years old i cant wait for it to be really mature.




This is were my kids sand pit used to be. I planted the wisteria in the middle of it to provide some shade down the track but found them hardly using it so away it went, so my idea is to turn it into a wisteria tree.










Till next time, Take care and have a lovely weekend.

  4. Hi Tina, your umbrellas are just beautiful! I don't know of anyone else who does them like you so you may have something going there. Have you ever thought of approaching a shop, or garden centres with outdoor living sections to try and sell them there. If you can get yourself into a couple of shops you might be able to make a job of it. Yes, I totally understand how hard it is trying to juggle everything and still making a home for our families.. Your garden is looking fabulous. I too come alive when my garden comes alive..I just love this time of the year. Ok better go.. take care, Maryann
