Garden Sieve Noticeboard Part 1

When we moved to our house, the shed was packed full of old rubbish ...but nestling among the debris was this old garden sieve

What could be a more fitting 


It's sat there for seven years, unused, lonely and forlorn
...virtually sobbing its little heart out... 
until I was suddenly seized with the idea that I could 
re-purpose it as a noticeboard.


Could it be a case of ugly duckling turned beautiful swan?

{Helped along with a LOT of loveliness,

And that, my friends, is what I will be doing this weekend.

Oh, and we're off for a baby-scan.
Will it be a girl or a boy. 
I think girl and Himself thinks boy. 
All bets start ....

NOW.

Can't wait to see the final result . . . on the garden sieve AND on the baby! ;)

What are you craving? Sweet or salty? I firmly believe that if you crave something sweet, it's a girl. Salty is a boy. I could tell you stories . . .

Looks like a gorgeous project underway!

Oh Sarah, I am horrible at guessing but whatever the sex is, I pray your little one is healthy.

For fun... I say, girl!

Oh how exciting!
I remember those days like they were yesterday! Now my girl is 16 and my baby boy is 18!

Enjoy. Cherish. Relax!!!
I am thinking girl... just an instinctual gut reaction to your question!

You are blessed whatever the outcome. :)

Cannot wait to see what you will do with the sweet sieve.

GLENDA CHILDERS said...

I was pregnant in the age where you never new if you were having a boy or a girl. It was a lovely surprise after labor.

But, how nice to be able to plan accordingly.

I love your creative mind. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Fondly,
Glenda
