Saturday sweets...

Ahhh, lazy Saturdays are always the best.

I attempted to do some scrapping this afternoon, but have had trimmer trauma with my MM trimmer... fingers crossed I managed to fix and reassemble it ok as it's now cutting a lot cleaner, but I was really worried for a moment there! Eeek... it's still my most reliable trimmer of all the trimmers I own. Which is a few.

While the weather was nice I snapped a few photos in the garden.

 

The lovely rhododendron.

Blue pansies - my favourite kind.

 

My gorgeous frilly pink tulips are out and enjoying the sun.

 

The border is looking very lush - such a difference compared to how it was a year ago when still covered in gravel with a few planters of conifers for decoration...

 

I just love these seriously tiny daffodils.

 

And my yellow dwarf rhododendron - will be great to see how this spreads out.

Also I got down to some baking this afternoon as well.

 

I made a batch of coconut and pineapple cupcakes for tomorrow's dessert.

 

And while the oven was on, I thought I'd make a half batch of oatmeal and raisin cookies... I only had one, promise!

So, now that those are out of the way I think it's a quiet evening in and I may just start the next book on my to be read pile.

 

Giving Cecelia Ahern another go - I loved her first two books, but didn't really like "If You Could See Me Now" and gave up after that.

Fingers crossed I'll like this one! A break from the hist-ro marathon. ;o)

Your Saturday sounds great Natty ;) The weather is so beautiful again over here - I can see your garden is enjoying the sun too! Your pics are fabulous.
I'm determined to give our flower border an overhaul this year - all that gravel and years of neglect by previous house owners are really showing! Enjoy the rest of the weekend, hugs, Ruth S
