Saw II

I'm so enjoying my garden at the moment!

The colours are wonderful ....

...and the fruit and veg are coming along nicely!

But there was one part of the garden that I haven't tackled yet!  Today was the day!


Ah there's nothing quite like the feel of a power tool! So satisfying (even though I was terrifying my kids in the process!).

Not bad eh?

And with all fingers and toes still intact (!!) I whipped up a journal cover for youngest daughter's friend.

Fabrics chosen and cover design by Bethany!
So a fairly productive day I'd say!

Hope you've had a great Saturday!

    like you I have the dreaded privets, how I hate them and cutting even more so. Not mastered electric shears so mine have to be done by hand, major job as both front and back. Lovely photos you have shared of your fruit and flowers ans even time to do a nice bit of stitchery

    Good job with the hedge. You have progressed from electric knife foam cutting to electric hedge trimmers, what's the next bigger power tool you will master?

    The only time I ever used an electric trimmer I went through the lead, now I keep away from anything like that. Actually my first encounter was years ago at a children's party when a magician sawed me in half with one, it hurt quite a bit at the time.

    Good eye for the very neat even hedging! I haven't ever used a garden power tool. I imagine it would feel quite liberating.
