Shown above is the very first rose I've ever grown: this little bud broke off in the wind so has been slowly opening from the shelter of the kitchen windowsill. I've always loved roses but assumed they were beyond my skills to grow. But then I was kindly given a rose plant for my garden and I think it likes it here. Hooray! I'm looking forward to seeing what it gets up to over summer. I noticed a bit of a rose theme in my etsy shop update today: some little rosebud shoes and a bag made from a really old tablecloth found second-hand. When it was drying on my washing line, it got caught on a rosebush (in a strange twist of fate) and got a bit ripped up, so I'm glad to give it a new lease of life.
Unrelated piece of news: There will be a Fabricabrac sale this weekend in Wellington- you can find more details here. It looks like it will be a great day for crafty people, with fabric galore, demos and talks, coffee and proceeds going to the Mary Potter Hospice.
Have a good Wednesday!
