Rocket Wars
By Shula Dear God, give me strength..... Rocket, parsley and Love in a Mist, squashed all but out of existence by the weight of an exceedingly heavy object. Hail? A meteor, perhaps? You can't tell from the photo... but the flattened area is suspicously, perfectly, dog-shaped....

This is my finished scarf from my workshop. I felted the two ends, left the selvedge and slightly fringed the raw edge. It's looking a little blue here but its actually aubergine. Using merino wool tops my design is just leaves overlapping. Then I added some silk thread for highlights. ...

I love fresh flowers and while selling our apartment I always bought pink lillies because of their longevity and smell. But I couldn't resist these freshly cut Blue Hydrangeas from the market. I used to grow them in my garden in London and I can't believe that when I was younger I thought they w...
