1 I love the colours and shapes of Lichen and found this growing on our, until now, beautiful arched Cedrus Atlantica Glauca. For some reason, it has not sprouted this year. We have planted Clematis to climb up the structure but are feeling very sad that it seems to have died.

2 My sewing project is coming on. I have attached all four panels to the duvet covers and I am now embroidering little bits to lift the design and to secure the panel more effectively. Here is the Fox. I’m wondering whether to do a bit more than the stems and his nose.
Embroidered panel – green stems and black nose.
3 I have posted another pair of Sally-boots today.

No, it’s on living trees as well as on stones and fences. It only grows where the air is very clean. Thinking about you both and hoping Bobby’s recovery is going well and that you are also taking care of yourself. With love x

continue to enjoy your three things–love the booties but have no desire to knit them as I have not only two left feet but two left hands–cannot get the sync of knitting–my mind gets too confused!

They were called Sally-boots by the people that I was making them for because I am Sally! I have made very many pairs by now. 🙂

I think there would be an adult market for them!

I would love that pattern as well, especially now that we’re expecting our first grandchild.

The tiny boots are adorable. Is the pattern available? I would love to make some for baby showers.

I’ll post it or the link on my Creative Projects page very soon. They only take an evening each boot – and that’s while watching TV! 🙂

True, it has been a while. Perhaps she’s just taking another well-earned break?
All is well, although you’re stealing our sun up there, and its getting quite cold here in our little valley 🙂

I hope that’s what it is. Feel a bit apprehensive though.
Glad all is well with you. We are here too though it’s very cold still despite being quite bright much of the time. Things are growing anyway! 🙂
