Sue's Awesome (and yet entirely modest) Home Page!

This is a page about me and the things I love to do. Thanks for visiting.

The things I love to do

1. Love my garden and gardening:
• The Waka - currently containing 3 and a bit Swan Plants, one with a little monarch caterpillar who probably won't survive, as winter is coming. Ready for planting with Wildflower seeds.
• The Magic Garden - looking distinctly un-magical after a summer of dogs and neglect - nearly time to fence it off for planting.
• The box gardens - doing really well, with new sections ready for planting. Just chopped down the Russian Sunflower. The Kowhai has bugs, and the little red-leaved tree is growing well.

• The Driveway - the yellow iris thingys need thinning out and replanting, which will happen later in Autumn.
• The ridge - the Rowans are looking a bit sad, and starting to loose their leaves. Need to strip the grass off the ridge, spread a bit of dirt, so I can plant wildflowers there.
• Long term plans include turning more of the grassed areas into wildflower beds - which will not need mowing every few weeks, and look really pretty!

2. Sewing:
• The sunflower/spiral is getting there - definitely a work in progress - finishing off the wide border, hopefully able to join them in the next few months.
• Still need to get the Turkish patterns from the States, so I can make a Turkish coat from the sheer gold and purple fabrics I bought months ago.
• The Green Man cross-stitch is nearly completed - yeah, right! Well, at least I'm doing the outlining now.
