Hello from DeeHello. Hmm, what to say, well, after looking at so many beautiful blogs out there, I have decided to take the plunge and have one of my own. What are my interests?I have a obscene passion for vintage textiles - embroidered clothes, cotton sheets with crochet trims, and cozy feather filled eiderdown's. I’m also passionate about Hollywood - that is Hollywood in the 30s /50s, the Hollywood greats. I have a huge collection of biographies and an even bigger collection of DVDs including MGM musicals, they don’t make um like they used too. I am a total addict when it comes to auction rooms or junk stores, also boot fairs. There is nothing i like more than a good rummage, one persons junk is another persons treasure! I do quilting and sew mainly for my home and I love embroidered samplers. I’m always on the look out for vintage ones when I’m rummaging. I do cross st. I crochet and occasionally knit. Er, im a slow knitter. oh and i love roses, on just about everything. I prefer old to new that’s why i stalk, er, i mean visit auction rooms - maybe I’m just an old romantic. I adore my garden i don't grow many flowers there as i grow most of what we eat, just a few flowers for cutting and some companion plants for my veg. Hmm this is getting boring now! am i boring you? sorry, I will leave it there for now.

Hi Dee,
Welcome to our forum! Hope you find it fun here 
As gilraen mentioned we have a blog ring you are welcome to join, and we also have various swap events organised through out the year. I wish I was better at gardening. Someone gave me some romanescu cauliflower seeds and I am worried that I willl start growing them and then something will happen to make me forget about them and I will lose them all. At least knitting doesn't normally die irretrievably on you! |

Hello and welcome from me too. I'm afraid I'm from the "it's got two chances" school of gardening. And I take my hat off to anyone who can grow roses. |
