Holidays

No, no. This is not good. I have to redo it.
Well, this is so conventional, but as I started it I am going to

finish it as a small wallhanging
Everything what I did here had to be undone. The
romboid shape did not fit in. It was the time when children
were with us.

And here I assembled not very exact. Seeing the photo I thought:

no, no, please faster and I switched over to machine joining.

This is just a layout and a photo to retrace my decision

which lasted 3 days at least. Picture taken on a very old

table cloth which I wanted to cut apart to make a bag-

I can't - I feel it would be cruel - at least for now.

I finally assembled the necklace - I was long searching for

glass beads - and ordered them. But did not pay attention

and they turned out to be of plastic - but ok. I can live with it.


The glass beads can hardly be seen except of their

interior which looks like a long white bead. And I gifted myself

with a silver shell in the middle.

The crocheted turquois flower is made in a spiral.

Now we are in our holidays - in the mountains and look

what greeted us in our farmhouse: Hydrangeas of an exquisite

colour

the grass - the grass -- so dry because of the heat

And... I am still knotting - just hearts because I want to

learn the change of colours

A mistake! one dark grey thread too little...

Better. And I am proud of my endings.

braided with four double threads or knurled.

The blue light green one shows cat heads ---- looks more like fox

I like the weaved character.

I had to be cruel with this little maple tree - if it is not a maple

tree then please tell me (I found also sycamore or hybrid plane

acerfolia)

One third is growing above the ground - two thirds are deep inside.

If you don't pull them out in time you will never be able to. At

least not by hand. You might use a bagger or something.

I learnt it from our former young neighbour Nicole who was born

in the Vosges.
