October nearly upon me ...

October means two things for me :

1

Blogaversary  : number seven !

(so a  GIVEAWAY  is appropriate)

and  2

Pink Ribbon month is about to start

(though I'm still not quite sure what to make)

For the giveaway I have my little

SUMMER SOLSTICE piece.

15 x 15cm

(5.9 x 5.9")

Leave a comment here if you want to join in the raffle.

I'll announce the winner on October 15 !

For the Pink Riibbon challenge

I will make textile jewels again, that's for sure.

But I might use various techniques this time,

not just felting ...

My sewing machine is on the table

and I made various trials these last few days ...

Time will tell, no doubt

:-)

some machine stitched textile beads ...

In the garden things are really slowing down now,

but the Verbena bonariensis is still going strong

and so are the asters and the Allium tuberosum

(also known as garlic chives)

And although the tourist season is nearly over

the special horse-and-carriages are passing by in their slow pace.

SEE  YOU  TOMORROW

WHEN  PINK  RIBBON  STARTS  !
