March - Not Long Until Spring


February turned out to be a very productive month indeed. Not only did we finish off the apple green decoration but we also turned our attentions to Farrow and Ball Rectory Red! We now have two almost completed rooms which just need the finishing touches and we think that Margate Stripe will be a perfect contrast to the deep coloured red.


Attentions are now turning to the allotment. With the first hint of Spring and Easter just around the corner we have been making many plans. Maybe this year we will manage to get a few days to enjoy the allotment in our Vintage Deckchairs!


One half of the allotment is being covered with old carpets in the hope of killing off the weeds and turning into a fruit area next year. The other half is well under way - all the raised beds have been constructed, seeds chosen and the top soil and mulch are all on order. The many seed packets have been a fantastic inspiration for future fabric design and we plan to base our next wide width striped fabric on the assortment of colours found in the Cosmos packet. All will be revealed in the coming months!
