Miniature 3

Some small colourful things were brought into the house from the garden to inspire a little bit of stitching: these miniature plant portraits (brooches) on wool felt. I'm getting ready for the upcoming Auckland Art and Craft Fair. 

A new favourite blog: 44 ways of looking at an apple, by Sarah Laing. It's sweet and crunchy.

    Love the apple blog. Thanks for the link. I can’t wait to plant my geraniums. My mom always had potted red geraniums for the summer.
