Our entrance

Patchwork friends made this for me 20 years ago.

See our hedges now ---- and see how much DH cut off

inspite of his wrapped thumb.

I am further dabbling in friendship bracelets - not actually needing

the bracelets but the knotting techniques.

There are knots like: right-right, left-left, right-left, left right.

I tried all of them not at this piece but the next one

which will follow in a few days.

Friendship bracelets

I had to try this technique of knotting friendship bracelets.

When it was modern I missed it, I did not know about it.

Probably I was preoccupied with household, children, job,

sports and social life.

It is a bit like weaving - certainly much slower.

Now - I did not make these - except the fourth from the left.

You can recognize it at the bottom of this photo.

I laid my bracelet on top of the title of a book from which I

took the instructions.

We are in the Vosges, a mountain range in the east of France,
800 m high. Weather is fine and summery.
This is an entry to our property.
 

Picture taken against the sun. A serious cut will be

needed. But DH had an accident with his thumb which

will keep him from such work for a while.

 
 
We still can enter, though.
A corner of the farmhouse

I can't show you any creative work - I am sure you don't want to see

heaps of pulled-out weeds, spider webs in my broom, mousetraps without

mice but eaten bacon -

It is my life inside and outside the farmhouse. I enjoy it!
