I have finally taken a photo of my detached chain sample, when I had finished it I thought it was much too bright so I lay some chiffons over it to see what colour to wash over it but decided I liked the black chiffon so fused that on instead,

I have had plumbers in the house all week and haven’t even looked to see what the next stitch is yet, will do after I post this now I have caught up I want to stay caught up,

The weather has been dry and sunny the last 2 days so I have been in the garden all day, everything is growing especially the weeds! I took this photo last week but never got to post it, I wanted an area that was a sort of mini flowering meadow but all the gardening books and programmes said you need poor soil, preferably alkaline and dryish, then I found a book which had all different types of flowering meadows and one was a damp acid meadow, yeah that what I need and I was surprised to see plants I think of as garden flowers but apparently they grow wild in other countries and it had lots of lovely lupines, so I put the rather ‘over productive for the little front garden’ ones into the meadow area and they love it the pink one and one of the blues are self seeded, they have even held their own when the wind or rather gales hit,

also in the photo flowering butter cups and clover, in leaf day lilies, loosestrife, tansy and a few others including a white flower that was already here, I don’t know what it is so I will post a photo when it flowers and perhaps some of you clever people will know,
have a nice weekend,
