a few of us were talking about hobbies in winter, i thought i would show you what i made over the gloomy grey days of last year, in between coming on GOY of course..


it was meant to be an exact copy of our allotment but OH kept changing the plot as i was making it, lol

photos of the plot taken today..


it was on a board 19 inches x 14 inches & 1 inch deep.mostly from balsa wood & bits of scrap..my OH thinks i am potty but it kept me busy for a while …

What a dinky little allotment. It took me back to a toy garden I used to have, with plastic "flowerbeds" with holes in to "plant" your flowers or veg, little plastic edging bits, all sorts of bits and pieces to put together into a fantasy garden - and NO WEEDS :D

16 Nov, 2010

 

I think it's brilliant !
You could use it to plan what you want to grow there next year :o)

I had one of those plastic gardens aswell.... I've still got it lol

16 Nov, 2010

I embroider /knit/sew if I get the time in between helping with hoework and housework.

16 Nov, 2010

 

Joanella, thats cool. Do you make it realistic by adding just a couple of weeds. LOL. ;o))

17 Nov, 2010

 

Well done i think it looks great.

17 Nov, 2010
