Way, way behind. No time to take the camera out and shoot lichens today – lost much time yesterday in cleaning drains. So, here’s an old photo again, to keep up the Green of the Day thread.
I’m proud of that one.
It has been quite energising, looking through old photos, and I really want to get to know my camera again soon.
I have a new book to teach me to crochet.
“A few days ago, my pal Fenny announced that she had begun decluttering for 2009. One of the items that she was getting rid of was a book on crochet. I know that I have to get to grips with crochet some time…”
O, frabjous day!

I opened up my Indigo dye kit, raring to go – and discovered a total absence of Spectralite, without which I may not proceed.
Darn it.
Also, the silk paper making kit lacks details on how to mix up the CMC granules. Anybody here know how? I’d be grateful for some help.
