Had to show you what I finished while I was gone. I have a list of cross-stitch "to do"s. This
Shepard's Bush chart was from the early 90's. The Herbal Husband was amazed how quick it was to finish. He was probably thinking why didn't she finish it sooner! Oh, well, this was what I was ripping out earlier and had to start over again!
Psst, don't let The Herbal Husband know it, but this is my favorite Christmas present this year. He got me some wonderful language of flower books. I'll share them later. This is from my best friend's daughter, my almost daughter, Miss C. It is a
BloemBox for a Bumble Bee Garden. Inside this adorable box are three 5' seed ribbons made of plantable, biodegradable tissue paper filled with premium seeds for effortless planting. They are Dahlia Flowered Pink Zinnia (
Zinnia elegans), Queen Anne's Thimble (
Gilia capitata) and Black-Eyed Susan (
Rudbeckia hirta), all annuals. Miss C called this gift a twofer because once the seed ribbons are planted, the box is way too cute not to use it for other stuff! So Miss C and I will be busy planting them next spring after the threat of frost is gone. So The Herbal Husband and I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration wherever you may be! Be safe and I will talk to you in the New Year! (Probably tomorrow!)
