Hi Martine. I bought my indigo seeds here:
http://www.pmwoolcraft.co.uk/
They took over a week to post the order but when they did, it arrived the next day and i was very pleased with the outcome of the Barberry Bark. I threw in some old rags to the last of the water just to be sure to use it all up. I found that the rag that had had linseed oil on soaked the colour so well. Really intense.
You take care and don't work too hard xxJ
This is one amazing braid/may pole - photo!
I look forward to participating in this with you~
Hi Tammie, I look forward to you joiningh in. This Maypole is great isn't it? The best picture I have seen. I can't remember my flickr sign in details or i would have left a message for the photographer. xxJ
Oh gosh! I hope my Grandmother Tree is selected. Would be so honored.
Nice to see you back, Jasmine - I hope your grandmother is getting better.
here is a tree poem. It was published in Poetry Scotland a couple of years ago. I hope you like it!
Birch Tree Englyn
Seed tree, weed tree, the shining silver birch
grows in the waste places.
Pioneer on the peat hags –
forest trees root in its wake.
One month I will try to join you.
Cheryl, your submission will definitely be in. I love your tree spirits xJ
Elizabeth, thank you so much for the poem. i will include that too xJ
Fiona - Your contribution will be welcome xJ
Hi Jasmine, like to see the results and sorry I won't be a participant-I'am on holidays. The header on your blog is amazing - I start wondering is this real....?
Hi Dorie, Thank you. Yes the header is real. I took my daughter to an easter egg hunt at the Botanical Gardens a short while ago. The picture is of the Magnolia tree. It must be over a hundred years old to be so big. The buds were hust amazing I had to photograph it.
Enjoy your holidays xxJ
Sounds amazing! I won't be able to participate this year, but maybe next. I'll check in to see all the lovely submissions. :) Theresa
