Flowers, Fungi and (F)Photos ...LOTS!!!!

 

I recently had changes to my jaw medication, and had a bad reaction - hence no blogging!

 

 

I was a bit concerned that our flowers were dying back in the garden, at the end of last month. I took a walk along the road verge in front of the bay, to see what I could find. These are the photos. There are a lot, but go and get a cup of tea and enjoy!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the show.
Till next time

Giveaway Results

I'll bet you thought I had forgotten about the Giveaway. Actually we have had a really busy week/weekend, and my feet are only now touching the floor. 

I had great fun with this Giveaway, and I would like to thank Fons & Porter for asking me to do this on Daily Craft TV. I would also like to thank SewCalGal for allowing me to advertise the giveaway on her blog, the two ladies who helped me when I ran into trouble with posting, the participants of the giveaway and, finally, my husband who selected the winner from the pile of names in the bowl!! He was really excited, as he likes to read my blog, and he listens when I tell him what my friends are up to all over the world. He knows some of the ladies by name, and even looks at some of the pictures on their blog, when I stick my laptop under his nose. He wouldn't even let me read the winning ticket, until he had read it himself!!

So.... to the moment of truth..... Who won???????

TRUMPET FANFARE!!

LYNN from Nebraska Views

She has a great website, which I visit frequently, so well done, Lynn. Sorry the rest of you could not win, but maybe next time.

Till next time

Phew!!

 

It's been a really busy week. We had a dance on Saturday night, with a great band that played both Scottish and modern music. We then had one of the Orkney 'YES' ambassadors come over to visit us (this was about the vote for Scottish Independence), and then I had to go and see the specialist yet again in hospital about my jaw. This is also the last Soulka weekend for the year, so there are lots of talks and activities going on, but I was tired tonight, so we stayed home.

 

 

I also had an order for some scarves. I did not know what kind was required, so I quickly wove one, using all different types of fibre (see top picture), and then I dyed some silk ones.

 This is a bundle of the dyed silk scarves waiting to be processed. They are rough and have excess dye, needing to be washed.

 These two pictures show them processed and ready for wear.

 The last four photos show the pebbling effect on the scarves. I never know what effect this will have, and I just love seeing how they turn out.

 

Must go to bed. I am sleepy. Remember my giveaway ceases at 12 midnight GMT tomorrow night(Saturday). See the last two post for details of entering, and if you haven't entered yet..... why not?
Till next time.
