I confess all. It was me. And I am really sorry, I did not mean to do it, but cannot take it back. Sorry.
Well, it was a lovely day. And I have almost been all round the back garden, so the greenhouse really needed some attention. It did! I had just thrown stuff in there, and left it, and it all needed washing and tidying and a right good sort out.
Did you ever get one of those upside down tomato planters? Well, I was given one. And it sort of worked. After a fashion. Two Years Ago.
So that was thrown in with the rest. And, having a throwy outy fit, I thought,I would just throw it out.
And then I found out what I had done. In that tomato planter someone very small has built a nest. And laid eggs. Tiny weeny eggs. All safe and secure in that forgotten corner of the greenhouse. Ouch.
So, I have tried to put it back where I found it. I have stopped clearing the greenhouse, and I will hope that Mr and Mrs Robin ( I think it is the Robins, but it may be the Wrens) will come back and not be too upset.
So, There, I have confessed. And I will keep a sideways eye on things
and let you know if anything sensible happens, or if it is the disaster I
am expecting.
And as you may know- or not- I have joined a basket swap. Well, I wanted an excuse to make one, and someone nameless put me on to it, so I did. And thought a trial run was in order. So, offcuts from other stuff, and a basket appears.
Quite small, but a fun size to make, and I hope it will be usable.
Only small problem, was getting an accidental pleat in the bottom.
This is how it ought to look.
So a little seam ripping later, and I managed to ease it out OK!
But that is all the sewing here lately! Garden has had its attention!
What a shame, I cannot offer this alternative accommodation to Mr and Mrs Robin... But I think they prefer to choose their own.

WELLL they say confession is good for the soul... so hopefully the prospective parents will forgive you xx Liking your basket xx
This is a lovely little bag. I think the size is perfect. Just big enough for a project.
I really like the hearty fabric! It is gorgeous.
My sewing suffered today too, as I was also out gardening.
Love the basket, great colours. Really hope the nesters come back
Glad that you rescued the eggs. I like the colours you did your basket in. Di x
Yikes! I did that to baby robins trying to take their pictures. They ran away, I put them back (wearing gloves) but I lost one.. :(

Cleaning and throwing out is therapeutic, until the wrong thing gets thrown out. Love the fabric in the little basket!!!
