preparations ...

September sped past

though I very much enjoyed the lots of sunshine.

The garden was my place for most of the time.

Stitching, reading and also 

the necessary working, to remove

part of the jungle that formed during the wet summer

and the warm "Indian Summer" that followed.

Because I accidentally found out

that there was a walnut tree, very close by, that was being pruned

I gave the dying with natural materials

another go.

(I must confess I'm NOT very good at it ...)

Hmmmm ... the bundles looked very promising,

the pans were a long time on the stove,

and wool had to be washed too

...

no spiffy results to show
(yet)

Furthermore I'm preparing more pieces to stitch,

and, most importantly,

preparing for what comes next month :

October = Pink Ribbon month for me !

I've been thinking long about what to make this time.

I don't want to repeat myself,

but finding something that can be made in a day

ánd sells (because that is essential !)

and can easily be sent in an envelope

.....

something textile

that's for sure !!!

ehhhh ..... 

NO

you really have to wait till tomorrow 

;-)
