Today's work

Today I used a bunch of coffee bean bags to make:

a big outdoor bean bag

four outdoor chair cushions


and a wall hanging

I've been checking out the coffee bean bags you can get on Etsy and some of them are gorgeous.  Maybe I'll pop up a tute on my Etsy shop showing how to make these things out of them...

deeeeeeeep frost

it says it's currently -2.5 (at 7.45am) but it must have been lower than that at some point overnight coz all the water in the pot bases on the deck are frozen rock solid. sadly my tomatoes didn't make it. lesson for next year, just keeping them out of the frost isn't enough. on the upside the fish are somehow still alive. after a nuclear holocaust (or perhaps the advent of a new ice age) it will be cockroaches and goldfish. but no tomatoes.
