The harsh winter killed off my herbs; lavender, thyme and mint. I'll have to start from scratch again. I love using mint in my cooking - reminds me of dinner at gran's. And my lavender bushes have helped keep gnats away from the terrace. It is getting warm enough now to get replacements, I think we are safe from more snow now.
But what do I see? And smell? Yes, this is definitely mint - we have a survivor! I'm glad I waited before throwing the plants away. Now I'll tidy away the dry stalks and make room for the new plant.
I have finished the 3rd Cat bom, this one is personalized (by the colouring) - the sisters being my sister and me. Not that she can sit long with Brutus on her lap - she will start sneezing soon :)
So now I must prep no 4. I love stitching in the evenings in front of the telly.
This was also meant to be TV work - the dress I started crocheting for my granddaughter. But I give up - the pattern is missing quite a bit and although I can work that out, it is going to be miles too big for her.
So I have started on a different dress, knitted this time and I am unravelling as I go. Maybe I'll save the lacy pattern bit and make a crocheted skirt out of it later - then I can put a ribbon in the waist and gather it in to fit "Skinny Lizzy".
Have a nice weekend.!

Your spring is coming when mint is starting a new shoot. I don't think you can kill mint. Love your stitchery project. I always sew in front of tv. I can't do one thing without the other! Enjoy your weekend. It's Mother's Day weekend here in Australia and North America. When is it your Mother's Day? Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteI used to have several different flavors of mint in a garden at one of the places I lived--miss it--maybe I will try growing some inside!!! It is amazing some times how long it takes for the new years green growth to appear--so it is good you waited!!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'cat" block--I did get #4 traced today--but have no idea when I will start it????

Thank you for coming over to my blog today! I love the idea of an inherited stash. I'll now be following a quilter in Norway which will be fun.
