Owls with Attitude!
Just spotted these owls over on Sunday Times columnist, India Knight ’s blog and had to share the image with you! How fantastic do they look? Unfortunately no one is sure where this is located- any ideas?
Hours and hours of jigsaw fun
One of my favourite pastimes is doing puzzles (jigsaws), but it inevitably leads to a mess in our living room and no dining table for weeks on end, so I’ve decided that until I move to a huge house where I have a dedicated jigsaw-solving (!) table, I’ll stick to doing them online. Of course, it’s no way near as fun, and there is the option of a jigroll some of you will say, but that involves sticking the pieces on the velcro, rolling it up and putting it away every tine (which I’m sure will result in some pieces falling off or moving around), which frankly takes away all the pleasure, so the online ones will have to suffice for now…
The best I’ve found so far are on Jigzone. There’s quite a good selection and many unusual cuts like squares, triangles, and even stars!!!
I started off with an easy one today, this gorgeous tulip in a 100 piece classic cut and it took me 21:41, which is abysmal considering the average is only 13:46!!
Do you enjoy solving puzzles? Click on the image above to give this one a try. It would be great to know how long it took you guys!!! I’ll be doing a different puzzle every weekend, so if you feel up for it, we can start a mini competition…

I found this lovely sign in a tiny shop in Key West in Florida and just had to have it!!! It now hangs merrily in my white-washed patio and reminds me daily of my sun- filled bachelorette trip…
Going Potty
My grandma is guilty of this one- not so much of going potty, more that her entire garden is cluttered with potted plants. The garden becomes too ‘busy’, untidy and difficult to maintain.
Below is a solution. The red boxes below from Barbed are attached magnetically to the wall, ingenious! Apart from the height being more convenient when caring for the plants, the bright red pop of colour adds interest to the garden. Another interesting idea below is from Steckling- colourful plant pots which slot on to the balcony edge! Great space-savers.
