Stitching the movies, Da Vinci Code

Well, with all the hype over this movie, how could I not mention it? Especially since we bought a a copy of the book and I plan on hiding from the family today to read it. :)

The Embroidery of Roses

Dandelion Charts, patterns, kits

It is May Day, and for many people gathering or buying flowers, and leaving them anonymously on people’s doorsteps is a fun tradition. I spent some hours recently removing dandelions galore from my rose garden and lawn. A lovely weed, with a happy sunny yellow blossom. As much as I like them, […]
