I not only grew a yellow sunflower in my garden this year but also managed a red one! Well that is what it said on the packet but it looks more like orange. The Lizbeth thread falling leaves seemed to be a really good colour match.
The idea was to make another necklace but I forgot to make provision for the leaves on both sides of the flower and so it turned out to be a thank you card instead, which has already been given to someone.
I am definitely going to save the seeds from this sunflower and grow them next year, just love the vibrant colour.
My blog posts have nearly reached 300 and so it is time to start thinking about another give-away, but should it be a shuttle ? Perhaps people are getting fed up with shuttles, may be the give-away should be something else? Decisions, decisions!

How about some of those sunflower seeds. It's a pretty sunflower.
ReplyDeleteThat idea did cross my mind as I was typing it, so thanks will include seeds in the giveaway.
DeleteThe thread is such a perfect match! And I don't think anyone will ever tire of shuttles!
ReplyDeleteHmm... a modest cottage on the river Nadder at Watersmeet?
ReplyDeleteThat is a good Idea! or they could be the runner up and a sunflower necklace the real prize! :)
