Welcome to Craft Blog Grow, a blog about all things craft, handmade and homegrown. I'm a keen gardener trying to build up a directory of all the plants in my garden and I'm (very slowly) restoring a 100ft long peach house built in 1922 so look out for progress on that!

Natural Stone Garden Seating Ideas

Natural stone garden seating ideas Adding natural stone seating to your garden can look wonderful and keep your garden space looking beautifully natural. The beauty of stone is that it will never rot, you just need to manage the moss and the foliage surrounding it. You can update it in the summer with new cushion covers and in the winter it will go back to being a part of the environment, the more subtle the better in my opinion.

In my mother's garden, we had a huge bench made from a big slab of rock which has over the years been covered by foliage then uncovered on a cyclical basis. There's a fun story about how it got moved into its final position too, involving a lot of help as you can imagine. It always looks a little nude when it's had a chop back - I'll add a photo of the bench to this post once I've trawled back through my photos to find one...

Pine Cone Elves

Pine Cone Elves Really nice Christmas tree decorations can be expensive, but they don't need to be if you make a few of them yourself.

I love pine cones, they make brilliant firelighters, they're free if you live near a pine tree, they even tell you whether it's going to rain or not (I can't quite remember how they do that though?) These little Pine Cone Elves are such a fab idea and they'll cost you a little felt and a bag of wooden balls - a couple of quid for around 50 little wooden balls!

I also use pine cones as they are, they make handy clips to keep the Christmas tree wires tucked in on my tree.

I have pinecones all around the house at Christmas, in bowls with baubles and pretty much just scatter them around so my house feels a bit more Narnia!
