martys pond

Well as the sun seamed to be out for awhile i have enjoyed sitting in the garden doing my knitting ......a few year ago Marty bought me a lovely swinging chair and i have used it to death and it was looking a little worse for wear so as the garden was beginning to become alive with colour i decided to smarten up my chair .

Marty got some spray metal paint from work and i traipsed round all the places i could think of to get material i tackled the job in hand .

I am very proud of the results it looks just  as new if not better than the original very Laura Ashley my sister quoted
