New Shop Name

I have changed the name of my etsy shop from pootlingwithpaper to LindenGrove as I thought it would be less confusing.  I have cleared the old stock out of the shop and listed some of my fabric flower brooches.  I will list some more things when there is enough daylight to photograph in!

Thank you for the well wishes for my husband.  He is slowly improving de die in diem (from day to day).  I just had to squeeze a bit of Latin in there!

Flowers Ad Infinitum

This is the last of the fabric flower brooches posts for the time being.  I have enjoyed making the brooches but I think it is time to move on and make something else.

Since1st November I have been writing down 10 Latin words, quotes and phrases every day.  I am slightly concerned that I am going to run out of words before the end of the 30 day project!  If you know of any good ones then please let me know.

I recently rediscovered domesticali's  blog that I used to read years ago.  She has a really interesting project going on at the moment called The Compound Word Project.  It is, in her words, a project for people who love words and pictures.  Why not pop over and see if you would like to take part.  I am!

Fabric Flower Power

Since my last blog post I have continued to make fabric flower brooches.  I really feel like I have my crafting mojo back after it got lost for a while.  I have really enjoyed selecting the fabrics for the brooches and the 'right' button and ribbon trim.  I even enjoy ironing and folding the fabric before it is sewn together!!!

Tomorrow on November 1st,  I start my 30 day project of learning 10 Latin words, phrases or sayings, each day for 30 days.  I won't blog about it each day but will keep you posted on how well I am doing from time to time. 

A freshly made pumpkin pie awaits me.  I cheated and used Libby's tinned pumpkin and followed the recipe on the side of the tin.  Generally I find fresh pumpkin a bit too fibrous and stringy and prefer to use that for soups.

Have a lovely day/evening wherever you are in the World.  My thoughts go out to everyone affected by the extraordinary weather conditions we are being accustomed to. x
