Garden Progress

 It is Spring here in New Zealand and I am enjoying watching my maple trees burst into leaf and my potted peony is sending multiple shoots skyward.   Gardens are a real pleasure aren’t they?

Well, this garden is not such a pleasure.   French knots on Aida cloth are not easy but there are many French Knot Bushes here!   Once completed this will be the Kensington Square Box and I will look at it with pleasure and forget the gritted teeth with which the trees were stitched.

My next door neighbour brought this in to me - it’s only a month early🤣   As a consequence I began the countdown to The Great Seven Oh with shared laughter and I found others to share the cake with too.
