helwenNot a lot on the sewing front this week. Finally got the front and back parts of the obi cut, but realized the linen was too floppy. Today we stopped at JoAnn's while in the valley and got some stiff interfacing. And for the snow queen, some light blue organza. Oh, and yesterday I made a rosette-type flower -- black velveteen, gold and black button, on a support disk of old toweling (couldn't find my felt scraps). Will try to take a picture at some point, but I have some other ideas to work on first...
An Ashfield friend inquired about possibly harvesting some stinging nettles, and came over Thursday to do that. She brought a lovely rhubarb plant with her, which is now making itself at home near the brook.
More rocks were dug out, and more work on the land near the brook was done, including L doing a repair to a pipe that drains water from somewhere higher up on the land into the brook.
