The garden of the house I recently moved into is covered in… well a small jungle is probably the best way to describe it. I think we're going to have to tackle it once the weather gets better (so hopefully we can put it off until Spring…), and it looks like it's going to be just as problematic asMel (Sharky Oven Gloves)http://sharkyovengloves.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7856302226553264598.post-89052998880706687162013-05-10T20:51:24.482+01:002013-05-10T20:51:24.482+01:00Oh wow, I have never seen that designer but have n...Oh wow, I have never seen that designer but have now bookmarked some sweaters to look at when i am ready!
