Hi everyone! I hope you’re all hale and hearty? I’ve not posted anything on here for such a long time. I had major spinal surgery back in February from which I’m still on the mend, and it gets to a certain time of the year when my crochet hook is replaced with needle and thread, when I take on other creative forms: I make my own dyes from flower petals, leaves, roots, bark and items from my kitchen cupboards, such as turmeric or fruit tea bags, onion skins, red cabbage to name but a few! I dye tote bags, 100% cotton tshirt and pure silk scarves. I’ve been making polymer clay beads which I’ve used in making macrame plant hangers too. I’ve used the same technique that I used to make my horse’s hay nets from discarded baler twine! If I get the time, I’ll post on here to let you see what I’ve been getting up to!
