@tui34 lovely bags - much better painting than I could do - I love the umbels, particularly and the sense of perspective. A great gift. Is the colour fast when wet?
Thank you @Valley Gardener and @Fire Yes, I used fabric paint and it will be fast when I iron them. My cabbage looks a bit like a lettuce that's why a put a white butterfly above it! Still, I did enjoy doing them and wasn't sure whether to do more vegetables and crowd them a bit or leave it simple. Maybe lest is best!
One is for a very kind woman from Avignon that sent me lots of different seeds at Christmas for my summer (and winter) garden. She had painstakingly put a few seeds of many different varieties into little plastic sachets. I can imagine the time it her took to do that - all neatly labelled!! The other is for my niece who is 13 soon and has a balcony garden outside her bedroom.
Morning all. Thanks for your comments Tui. Never thought of seed bags though. Might think about that. 😁
I’ve decided to knit the beanies to give to homeless people next autumn. This was after an idea that Dove put on the other site. My daughter, in Canberra, has found someone who volunteers for such people, so I’ve started a second one. It’s very heavy on my 81 year old hands and arms, but hey, what else would I do with all that yarn just sitting in a large container. 🙄. In the past I knitted lots of little dolls, but I’d rather do the beanies.
A few more pebbles,all the "Mams" are orders,getting a bit weary of them now,having to double coat with yacht varnish as most go on graves.😕 my back is aching worse than digging!😊 @Pat E, those little beanies are gorgeous.
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
@Valley Gardener They are superb and I just love the first one. If that were mine I wouldn't part with it! I'm sure the owners of the others will be well pleased.
