Scrappy birthday card

Ok, so I know it’s not clothing, but it used to be! I painted and stamped the background with fabric paints then sewed on fabric houses made from my mountain of scraps. I couldn’t resist the button moon (does anyone else remember the cartoon?)

I then sewed the whole thing to a bit of folded card. There are bits of shirts, skirts, and allsorts in there – it’s a great way to use up your scraps :)

Ah, fruitfulness – that’s more like it!

My grapes are actually tiny – we don’t have the climate here for real fruit, but the vine looks nice.

I hate cucumbers, I have no idea why I grow them every year – except that they are always the best growers and I know lots of people who do like them!

Butternut squash – soon this will be soup, yum!

Our solitary cooking apple, but it is a fairly young tree.

Some of our courgettes are turning into marrows – these always do really well.

And finally leeks, I love leeks!
