Tales of neglect

Totally rooted

It would appear I've been absent from blog land for nearly a month now.

Which really pales in comparison to the quantity (is zero a quantity?) of time that I've spent in the garden in the last 3 or 4 or perhaps even more months.
And as I discovered after putting my neck out not once, not twice, but three times in the space of 6 weeks, is still better than level of attention I've been paying to the increasingly rigid knots that I use for shoulders.
And is still pretty good in contrast to the time I've spent at the sewing machine since craft weekend way back in May.

But things are looking up.

I'm off on craft weekend again tomorrow, new fabrics, new patterns and newly serviced sewing machine in tow.
Chiropractic and massage treatments are starting to loosen the knots and ease the aches.
The carrots (by some miracle) are delicious (although I'm yet to test the not-so-baby beetroot, and the peas are well past their best). I even weeded the strawberry bed when the sun was out last weekend (Ahhh, dear Sun. I'd forgotten what your warmth was like).
And I've just done a post over at Sew Green covering some basic green building concepts.

Enjoy.

  1. Those carrots are the most organic-looking specimens my eyes are yet to behold! Have a truly terrific time at craft weekend (with the possible involvement of nana naps).

  3. The same thing happened to my carrots! People in the know tell me that I should have thinned the seedlings out more. We ate them anyway and they were delicious.

  4. Just read your previous post.  You might like to know that Tessuti have received a new delivery of Japanese pattern books, including the Drape Drape books - but beware, very dangerous.

  5. Off you go, have a lovely time, look forward to seeing what you make with that yum fabric!

    You should also make the most of your gardening time while you can still bend in the middle ;)
