morning ladies   It looks like we're in for a mixed bag of weather today.  We had rain off and on in the afternoon yesterday so hopefully it will do the same today.
Oh_hunnihunni, I hope your neighbour is OK, it's so sad when they won't accept the help that is out there.  If she did, she would realise just how much easier and better things would be for her.  
Today I plan to move the rose 'Belle Storey'.  She thinks she's a climber but she's not lol.  Austin roses have minds of their own  .  This is the rose I had no idea what it was as it was just a half dead stick when I plucked it from the neighbour's garden (who had moved by then and had no idea either of what it was).  She's had a few years to recover so time to put her where she can do her thing and not catch our clothes as we walk by.  A good dose of worm wee and sheep pellets, plenty of water and she will be fine.  I will have to prune her back so her flowering season will be a tad crazy for a year.  Oh and in case you are thinking I nicked the rose lmao, I didn't.  The house owner asked if I would like it after our friend had moved.  He was getting rid of the gardens as it was too much work for tenants.
We pulled the broken tree branch down.  In the end we tied a rope to it and the car tow bar and pulled it out that way.  Did the trick and by some miracle, it missed my rose Ingrid Bergman.  So the branch itself is now ready for chain sawing when the chainsaw comes out to chop the other tree down and all the leaves and small branches have been mulched and spread on the garden.  The Furry One was happy as he had a 'ride' in the car.  He doesn't care even if it is three meters lol.
My frog is done and I'm embroidering the dragon flies onto the other side of the bag.  I should get that done  this afternoon and then I can sew the tote bag.  Excuse the puckering, I'll iron those out.  Blimmen tension, I need to wind some bias binding around my hoop to keep my fabric taut. 
Happy crafting
