    plant pauper I should have some divisions in the spring haven't decided which yet, I won't have time to do any more this autumn I've just swapped quite a few with a couple of friends and really need to get on with those, like to give them a good 6 weeks to settle again before any really bad frosts, but watch this space early April and I'll list what I have image, they'll grow in any soil they aren't fussy so your patch would be greatimage

    Now I know I'll have some Frans Hals in the spring Lorna image

    Thanks Hostafan Windmill is also one that can be split in spring it is one that always takes a year to settle before flowering again so I have two clumps and alternate the splitting image

    Some more brights today thenimage

    Well it's nice to meet another crafter, I also make jewellery, do scrapbook pages,flower arranging, I've tried cross stitch and have about two small kit's here for over a year and still haven't got round to doing it, I would say i'm very much a newbie when it comes to cross stitch, I'm also trying knitting, crochet, I have my finger's in so many pot's just not enough time to do them all.image

    My husband say's i'm my own worse critic, I always think my cards aren't all that but he says they are fine and to stop worrying, but I can't help it. I did just make a anniversary card for my in-laws anniversary, it's not my usual type of card but my husband found the image funny and he said that would make the laugh so I did. Not sure where I can post a image for you to see it.

    wow 27 baby-grow cards, bet that is keeping you busy would love to see them when they are done. would love to see you cross stitch aswell, I did go to a card class and one day the lady was doing cross stitch on cards, she showed us hoe to start off and to do the cross stitch but none of the other stitches and never came back to show us how to finish.image

    I've always fancied scrapbooking so many pictures of our girls when they were little it'd be nice to get them in some albums, youngest bought me a cuttlebug which would come in useful for scrapbooking all the lovely dies you can get for it, do you have one Lorna?

    I'm just as critical of mine too although everyone always seem to like them, my sister even framed one of my cross stitch ones image

    Mmmm wonder if there's a members hobbies thread if not I can always send you my email address.

    My cross stitch cards I do on  Aida then mount in a tri-fold card with a circle or square cut out, or cut my own, then decorate the card.

    I knit and crochet prefer crochet though, grows quicker image

    Those  day lilies are gorgeous, all I have are the plain washed out orange ones, and am digging them out along with the Crocosmia and Montbretia.

    I always have knitting on the go, must do something can never just sit still, I have been through several crafts in the past, a most enjoyable one was Corn Dollies, and dolls made from Corn on cob husks.
