I have halfway through the intarsia part of one of them, but right now it looks like a wad of double point needles with… Continue reading A Floral Interlude
My flowers have mostly been coming along pretty well this year! We did have one fatality – we drowned a petunia we had in a pot on our porch, which was a shame.
